Sprint Spikes FAQs
What makes a sprint spike different from a distance spike?
Sprint spikes have a stiffer, more aggressive plate that runs further under the forefoot, more pins, and little or no heel cushioning. Distance spikes are softer and more cushioned so you can stay comfortable over 800m and beyond.
Are carbon-plated spikes like the Maxfly worth it?
For competitive sprinters, the energy return from spikes such as the Nike Air Zoom Maxfly and adidas Adizero Prime SP is noticeable. Newer and younger athletes are usually better served by a flexible spike like the adidas Sprintstar or Nike Rival Sprint while they build strength in the feet and calves.
Can I use sprint spikes for hurdles?
Yes. Most sprint spikes work for the hurdles. A slightly less aggressive plate, like the adidas Adizero Finesse, can make it easier to land and rotate off each barrier.
