Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between sprint, middle distance, and distance spikes?

Sprint spikes have a stiff, aggressive plate and little heel cushioning because sprinters stay on their toes. Middle distance spikes soften the plate and add some heel so they work for 800 meters to the mile. Distance spikes are the lightest and most flexible, with a smaller plate and enough cushioning for 1500 meters to 10,000 meters.

Which spike pins do I need?

Most tracks in Iowa require 1/4 inch pyramid or needle pins. Cross country courses usually allow 3/8 inch pins for grass and mud. Check with your meet before you race. We sell replacement pins and wrenches in every store.

Can I try spikes on in store?

Yes. All seven Fitness Sports stores in Ames, Ankeny, Clive, Coralville, Des Moines, Marion, and North Liberty stock track spikes during the season, and our staff will fit you and let you try them on the in-store surface.
