Choosing the right shoes depends of the type of floor that the track has. There are four main types of track shoes: pyramid, needle, christmas tree, and tartan. The pyramid spike shoes are great for most types of tracks because they will not damage the floor. The spikes will last longer and bounce really good at the track. For an indoor track, most people like their spikes to be 1/4 of an inch high. The needle spike shoes are great on all weather tracks. This is because they have the best traction out of the four types of track shoes. Usually people will get the spikes are these shoes to be 3/16 of an inch high.

The christmas tree spike shoes are a lot more compressed than the other shoes. They are a combination of the pyramid and needle spike shoes. People usually get their spikes are these shoes to be 1/4 of an inch high. They have the best bounce and traction of the four shoes. The tartan spikes are made of rubber and people usually get the spikes in these shoes to be 1/4 of an inch high. They are the dullest spikes out of the four shoes.Still bored?
