A pair of great track spikes is absolutely
essential when you want to be a fast track runner.
Track running requires explosiveness from the blocks and a fast turn
over.
Good traction is essential for the first few strides to keep you
accelerating.
Once you reach top speed, your form should hold the speed up for a
strong finish.
A good pair of track spikes can provide you the needed traction for an
explosive start and hold the sprinter in proper form by keeping them up
on their toes.
A good pair of track spikes can make a difference, so let's have a look
at some of the track spike around.
Track Spikes #1: ASICS
Hyper-RocketGirl 3
The women’s ASICS Hyper-RocketGirl 3 is the latest
version of the RocketGirl track and field shoes.
The synthetic mesh
upper material provides a comfortable fit, which is important to any
sprinter.
The shoe colors are unique and stylish standing out from the crowd. It
is not going to make you a faster runner, but a good looking shoe can
definitely boost your confidence and give you that little edge you
need.
This lightweight track spike fits to the form of the foot allowing for
the barefoot feel, which helps the sprinters turnover. The nylon spike
plate adds to the shoes traction that you need as you explode out the
blocks.
The Women's Nike Zoom Lisista is a lightweight
sprinting track spike.
The shoe is designed for the shorter sprints
that require the traction of longer spikes.
This
baby can help make you a faster sprinter due to the lightweight
synthetic frame for quick turnover, the contoured
midsole cushioned with EVA cushioning for comfort
and the covered mesh for breathability.
The shoe is also flexible fitting to the foot’s changing sprinting form
making it feel like a comfortable slipper. The spike plate is tough and
supportive and is coupled with a leaf spring support system keeping
