How should a track spike fit?
A. Snug, but not tight. As a result, most spikes are manufactured slightly smaller and narrower than running or training shoes. Nevertheless, many male athletes usually select spikes that are a half size larger than their typical athletic shoe. Since, most spikes are available in men’s sizes only, most gals select a track shoe which is a half size smaller than their typical, women’s sized, training shoe. For those considering a throwing shoe, most models are not constructed as small as track spikes. Nevertheless, most throwers reportedly obtain a shoe which is a half size larger than normal. Note that desired fit is a personal preference which also has to be taken into consideration.
