Sprint Spikes

Sprint spikes feature full-length rigid spike plates, aggressive pin configurations, and minimal-to-zero cushioning with dramatic geometry. Weighing 3.5-6 oz, these are biomechanically distinct from every other running shoe category. The super spike arms race has brought PEBA foams and carbon plates to sprinting, with premium options now exceeding $200.
