My last pair of spikes was the JaFly 3 s and although I didn't have any issues with them, I would love if they had more of an aggressive plate, which is what the Superfly s have, as I once owned a pair of Adidas spikes with a higher foot angle and stiffer plate and it felt incredibly fast. Since I am an "all-around" sprinter, I am having a hard time picking one of the two. I am primarily a 200m runner with 400 as my second, quite good and experienced, but at the same time I am always part of 4X100 (and the 4X400) and most the times I anchor the relay as well. I am struggling to choose between the Nike Superfly Elite and the Adidas Adizero Finesse. If you prefer something more professional, specifically designed for 400m I would suggest Zoom 400. The other option would be Adidas Sprintstar, which is at the level of Rival S but from a different company. It is difficult to chose the spikes without trying them on. The last spikes I wore for track were the Nike s9 spikes but they weren’t my favourite compared to other Nike spikes I’ve worn. I do also compete in long jump but I have separate spike for this- adidas adizero long jump. I’ve run track for quite a few years so have experienced a fair few spikes and running experience. I’m a 14 year old female track athlete focusing mainly on the 300/400 but will also run down to the 200 and up to the 800. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can do for you. The only disadvantage is that her feet are growing and she will need to replace them quite often. You are welcome to get a specific spike for her if you wish. At the age of 11 she is is not going to be on her toes all the time so the cushioning in the spikes is essential. These spikes have a bit of cushioning under the heel to protect her feet. Please see these options below from two different brands: For your daughter I would suggest you get one pair of middle distance spikes for all the events she does. She has used Adidas Ambition and Nike Zoom M to date. What is the minimum and optimum number of spikes/shoes she will need and what suggestions would you make for her footwear (eg same brand for all shoes or mix them up?). In her age group she will compete in pentathlon (70mH, 600m, LJ, HJ and Shot/Javelin). Hi Nandanti, I have an 11 yr old daughter that is just starting out on Combined Events and so will run/jump/throw. We offer a free delivery and returns policy. I would suggest to go for bigger size as you need them broader. The best is to try them on and see what fits you. It is difficult for me to advise you over email which type of spikes would be the best for your feet. The spikes don't exist in a wide fitting. What are the widest running spikes you know? Ideally middistance I have wide feet and i cannot find wide version of any running spikes. If you are going to train in them you need more cushioning so there is less pressure on your calf muscles and in that case I would suggest to go for middle distance spikes. If you are planning to buy the spikes for racing I would suggest to go for sprinting spikes. Do you have an opportunity to come to one of our stores and try the spikes on? When buying the spikes is important to know what for you would like to use them. It is difficult for me to advise you on the right type of spikes without you trying the spikes on and comparing them to see which one is the most comfortable for you. How much space should there be when i choose sizes I’m a 14 yr old athlete who is looking for a pair of running spikes. If you are thinking to use your track spikes for cross country as well (which is not ideal) I would suggest you go for the first option above (Adidas Distancestar or Nike Rival D) and just change the little spikes on the bottom from track size ( 5mm) to cross country ( 12mm). Please see our selection of cross country spikes here. If you are planning to run on your toes only for 400m – which is very hard to do in the beginning – I would suggest you go for sprint spikes like Adidas Finesse, Sprintstar or Nike Rival S9. If you are new to the track I would suggest you go for something more cushioned, like Adidas Distancestar or Nike Rival D. Hey I'm just now starting track for the first time ever I'm going to run the 200, 400 and the 4 x 100 next fall I'm going to run cross country I'm looking for something comfortable but something that feels fast I'm open for any suggestions
