Content: Keep in mind that the higher price does not necessarily mean a better experience. An elite-level spike will not provide as accommodating a fit and may not last quite as long as an entry-level spike. Step 3: Get the Right Fit
How Your Spikes Should Fit
Sprint, jump, and throw spikes should fit like a glove. They will be snug and provide a narrow fit. Your toes should reach the end of the shoes, but not be jammed into them. This is because these shoes are intended to act as an extension of your foot to allow for a more explosive feel. Mid-distance and distance spikes will have a sightly more relaxed, slipper-like fit. These spikes should offer a contoured, snug fit throughout the midfoot, but with some space for the toes to move. This is to provide additional comfort as well as a bit of room for swelling.
