Spikes come in a variety of sizes: 1/8 inches - 5/8 inches; however, when in doubt, purchase 1/4" spikes. Spikes longer than 1/4" may tear up some track surfaces. Check with your coach if you are not sure which ones you should use. For cross country runners, 1/2" or 5/8" spikes will give you an edge for courses that are wet and muddy, giving you the upper hand on Mother Nature and your competition. We do not currently carry any track and field spikes or shoes, but please shop our running shoes collection for your everyday trainers.
