This is a field-event competition spike built around a stiff plate and secure strap to maximize energy transfer during the plant and takeoff of a high jump. It has no relevance to distance, track, or road running and should not be evaluated against running-shoe criteria. Its value is entirely as a purpose-built jumping implement for high jumpers in training and competition.
No conventional ride: a stiff plate delivers rigidity for push-off rather than cushioning or rebound for running.
Locked-down, competition-oriented fit with a strong strap for security during the takeoff; sold in unisex sizing across men's and women's conversions.
High jumpers needing a supportive, stiff spike for training and competition.
You want any type of running shoe—road, trail, track distance, or cross country—as this is a jumping-only spike.
