Pole Vault Spikes

Pole vaulting is a unique and challenging track and field event that requires a combination of strength, speed, and technique. Having the right equipment is crucial for success in this sport, and Nike has designed spikes specifically for pole vaulters.

Nike Pole Vault spikes are as light as possible, allowing for maximum speed and agility on the runway, which is essential because pole vaulters need to generate enough speed to launch themselves over the bar. The pins are placed to provide traction and a strong, stable takeoff, on any runway surface, and the shoe molds to the shape of the foot for a snug, secure fit that lets athletes focus on their performance.

At Fitness Sports we carry Nike pole vault spikes when they are in stock, and our staff can help you find the right pair and the perfect fit. If nothing is listed below, call your nearest store: pole vault spikes arrive in small runs and sell through fast each spring.

Frequently asked questions

What spikes do pole vaulters use?

A dedicated pole vault spike, or a long jump spike, both of which combine a fast plate with heel support for the plant. Many high school vaulters start in a jump spike.

Are pole vault spikes in stock year round?

No. They arrive in small numbers before the outdoor season. If the collection is empty, call a store and we will check the other six locations and the next delivery.

Can I use sprint spikes for pole vault?

You can run the runway in them, but a sprint spike has no heel support for the plant. A jump or pole vault spike is safer and faster at takeoff.
