FAQs
Are these spikes suitable for triple jump?
These are specifically optimized for long jump, though the high-performance plate design is often adaptable for athletes who prefer a stiff platform for triple jump as well.
How should I clean the NITRO foam midsole?
Clean the foam with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the foam composition.
Can I replace the pins?
Yes, the eight-pin outsole is designed to allow for the removal and replacement of standard track spikes.
Do these spikes fit true to size?
Track spikes are typically designed for a snug, lockdown fit. Most athletes choose their standard athletic shoe size or half a size down for a tighter, more secure feel.
Are these shoes effective for beginner athletes?
These are elite-level spikes. Beginners should ensure they have sufficient conditioning before moving to this type of aggressive, high-stiffness plate.
Troubleshooting
Spikes feel loose or unstable during the approach
Ensure all eight pins are fully tightened and the laces are cinched securely to lock the foot into the internal support structure.
Accumulated track residue on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from the pin housing and the spaces between the plate ridges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the included pins are tightened firmly into the outsole before use. It is recommended to inspect the pins regularly and replace them if they show signs of wear or blunting. After training sessions, gently wipe away dirt or track grit with a soft cloth and allow the spikes to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
