THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was looking for a breakdown and this was perfect. I'm super glad you explained the difference between the Nike shoes specifically, because they're who I'm always going with

I’m running the 800, 1500, and the 3000 I’m looking for a fast competition spike with a harder front plate would you have a recommendation

[jakoblange]

I would never recommend using sprint spikes for high jump!
As you lean back when jumping the spike plate is in the way amd you are going to jump way lower than you could
There are high jump spikes for a reason

I’m thinking of using the nike zoom rival waffle 5 for cross country races. Can I use them on the road?

I run 200 all the way up to the 2 mile, but don't have the money for more than one pair, I'm up for sacrificing some of the benefits of sprinting spikes for healthier feet and legs in the long run. But I'm still not sure what to chose. Any recommendations for what's basically an all around shoe?

[ryanbudnik]

Nike Matumbo 3 is by far the best distance spike. More cushioning than the zoom victory. It always seems to get overlooked.

[namankaushik]

I can use spikes on ground
As I don't have track near by.

[benjaminn]
