I am happy to hear that your daughter is so active in track running. Is there any way to find just one for steeple, track distance, and cross country? I know that's probably not likely? Maybe a track spike that works for steeple, 1500, and 3000, and then a separate one for cross country? Or maybe steeple needs its own shoe, and then one for 1500,3000, and cross country (where the spikes can be changed out for track vs ground)? We are wanting to now get a spike for her 800 and up events. We have been using the Nike zoom S for jumps (and the occasional 10,200,400) and trainers (nike pegasus) for running 800 and above. Her primary events are high jump, triple jump, 1500,3000,steeplechase, and cross country. My almost 16 year old daughter has been in track and cross country for many years. Hello! Thank you for your great information. I do think that you should at least have different sets of pins for training, because If you've ever competed in dull pins you'd know the hell that is. I think you'd probably be fine using the same pair of spikes for both, but this will make it last less is the long run if thats a concern. If I put 5mm or 6mm spikes on the shoes would I be able to wear them for track running or should I get a separate pair of running spikes for athletics? I have the Saucony Havok XC2 spikes for cross country and I usually wear my Nike trainers to train but I have moved to a new club where we train on a track. This is due to the fact that the depth of the spike thread is much deeper in a cross country spike shoe compared with a track, and so the 5mm would lay flush with the spike plate. In terms of sizes I'd suggest adding the 6mm rather than the 5mm. The only down side is that they are a little heavier than the track spikes. Wishing you a great cross country season :)Ĭross country spikes can definitely be worn on the track. We have 3.5UK and 4UK in the Adidas XC and 4UK in the Brooks Draft XC in stock. It's always best to go for proper cross country spikes if you can, as they last longer. my question is would you reckon I could use the allrounstar if a change the spikes to 9mm and run a cross country 6k or 8k? just worried about no enough support (they said they not suitable) but I don't know if this model cause is a junior has more support? my weight is about 6.9 stones approx. I never used spikes before but I am gonna try cross country and they recommend using spikes rather than normal trainers. I am not that young (34 years old) but small feet size 3.5 or 4 so I could not find spikes for the cross country anywhere apart from the Adidas allroundstar junior. Good luck with all your upcoming training and racing. Hi ,i m Aaditya Tomar, I m a 100m sprinter I m 6ft tall and body weight is 81 then which spike nails should I use ?My performance now is 10.6Ĭongratulations on your performance! I'd suggest going for the 5mm spike pins. What spikes are the best for 400 and 800 meter races? If your child needs smaller than UK4 you can go for Adidas Allroundstar Junior. We have Adidas XCS Cross Country Spikes in stock starting at size UK4. If not what type or specific brand would you recommend for a youth girl. Would you recommend the Adidas Allroundstar Junior for cross country running. In general Allroundstar junior spikes does come up a bit small (in comparison with dress shoes) so we suggest you go for a half or one size up in this spike. You might prefer to order couple of sizes as we offer a free delivery and return. I think for your daughter would be the most convenient option to go for the versatile Adidas Allroundstar Junior. You can see the size guide on the top of the sizes. We don't stock the tennis shoes so I can't advise you on how their sizes compare with the running spikes. Does she need the same size spikes? Is sizing listed the same for girls as it is for boys at this age? My daughter is 8 and competes in sprints and LJ. Once the major growth spurts are over, go for a snugger fit. The last thing a parent wants is the hassle of having to buy two pairs of spikes in one season. This way, you will be saving money and time :-) Q: How should they fit?Ī: When your child is still growing, aim for a half a thumb's width between the end of the toe to the end of the shoe. Then remember to tighten before each training session, as the naughty screws can become lose. Tip: Put a small amount of Vaseline around the screw part of the spike. When doing a training session, it's almost a given that the heels will make contact with the ground, which can lead to pain if done on a consistent basis :-( Q: How do I put the spikes themselves into the shoes?Ī: Take your time! If cross threaded, it can be a nightmare to get them out again. Inevitably they will be both training and racing in the same spikes. Q: Why go for distance spikes if I'm running 100m or doing long jump?Ī: Younger athletes must protect their legs and heels.
