When to choose spiked running shoes?

Spiked shoes are used for competing and training on tartan tracks or in cross-country races.

1.- For running on tartan tracks at paces equal to or below 3 min/km. Or when racing flats aren't as fast as spikes.

2.- In middle-distance and long-distance track competitions (from 1,500 to 10,000 meters flat).

3.- Candidates for state security forces and bodies in the 1,000-meter race, if they run at 3 minutes per km or less. Otherwise, racing flats will suffice.

4.- For jumping and throwing events, there are specific shoes.

It is not recommended for marathon runners or asphalt race runners to use spikes for quality track workouts.

It is always more advisable to use racing flats, which they will use for competition.

Among all of them, spiked shoes for cross country offer the most foot protection.

The outsole is more reinforced and incorporates more rubber lugs to provide some cushioning. The spikes are slightly more recessed into the plate.

An important tip: Spiked shoes always fit very snug or a bit short compared to your usual running shoe size.
