Best Spikes For Short Sprints?

[SoccerRunner]

I am a short sprinter up to 300 meters. I was talking to a teammate that said needles weren't good for sprinting and I should use pyramids instead, is she right?

I would really appreciate some advice from more experienced sprinters.

Does the spike actually effect the way I run?

Please Help!! :confused:

I personally like compression AKA X-mas tree spikes. they push down on the track rather than ripping into the track like pyramids and needles. for sprinting my favorite spikes go like this

1. Xmas tree
2. Pyramid
3. Needles

unless your some all-american sprinter, and every .001 is going to help. i dont think it really matters. but i dont know for sure.

just use pyraminds...unless you really are concerned about the condition of the track you run on

Compression Spikes or pyramids, needle spikes have too much grip, I ran on a very soft track and it ripped my shoe clean off my foot.

i like christmas tree spikes, i read somewhere that they are the best for sprinting, i dunno if thats true though.

ive used only pyramids and needle spikes. havent used x trees yet. i like pyramids cause they dig further into the track. they let you push more in my opinion. i feel like im slipping in needles, atleast on a dirt track. on all weather i really dont think it matters

up until this year, if you have xmas tree spikes at the washington state meet they would DQ you. i dont know why, i think there just kinda jerks. but yeah.

xmas trees are amazing up to 400 meters- I'll never go back
