FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, these are specialized sprint spikes and do not have the cushioning or support required for long-distance running.
Do these come with pins?
Yes, the Puma evoSpeed Star 9 comes with a standard set of pins, but you should verify your track's specific length requirements.
Are these suitable for beginners?
Yes, their stable design makes them a great entry-point for athletes beginning their track and field journey.
How should the shoe fit?
Track spikes should fit snugly with very little room in the toe box to ensure maximum control and responsiveness.
Can I replace the pins?
Yes, the spikes are removable and replaceable using a standard track shoe wrench.
Troubleshooting
Spike pins feel loose
Use a standard spike wrench to tighten each pin firmly before heading to the track.
Difficulty removing pins
Use a penetrating oil to loosen debris or rust if the pins have been left in for an extended period.
Material feels dirty or muddy
Wipe the mesh upper gently with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure all six pins are securely tightened using a standard spike wrench. To maintain the shoes, avoid wearing them on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this will prematurely wear down the spike plate. After training, remove dirt and moisture with a soft cloth and store them in the included nylon bag. If you run in wet conditions, stuff the shoes with paper to help them retain their shape while drying, and ensure you keep them away from direct heat sources.
