Javelin Spikes

Why Javelin Spikes?

The last thing on most track athletes mind is their spikes. Spikes are always there, shoes come with them, and they seem to last a while. As a track athlete your need for traction for those accelerating. With javelin however, you need a rapid deceleration as well. That's why a great pair of javelin spikes comes in handy. 

But what if mine are dull or I happen to lose a few? 

Which Spikes?

We stock and prefer two different styles of spikes. Pyramid and needle. The advantages of each come down to personal preference and throwing surfaces. Needle are typically preferred by throwers more and the pyramid style tend to be more sprinting.

For javelin check with your coach and local throwing facilities but we recommend the 3/8" style. If you tend to throw on a softer surface or even grass, 1/2" or 5/8" is recommended. 

What about New Shoes?

For new throwing shoes we stock excellent Polanik javelin shoes in Red/White/Blue or White/Green. If you'd like information on other well known brands check out Jacked Javelins blog about shoe preferences here.
