Key features of a track and field athletic shoe

Although individual track and field sports and distances require slightly different footwear, the best athletic shoes all have certain features in common:

• Close fit: Your track and field running shoes should fit like a second skin, giving you maximum control during competitions and training. 
• Lightweight: Shoes for track running and high jump should be made from extremely lightweight materials, so you don’t feel weighed down. 
• Cushioning and ‘spring’: Although you definitely don’t want ‘bouncy’ shoes for track running, they should offer some bounceback through the use of foam cushioning or carbon plates that propel you forward, 
• Spikes: Running track shoes and high jump shoes often come with replaceable spikes. 
• Breathable: The best shoes for running track use a mesh upper that allows air to pass through the shoe, so you don’t overheat while sprinting. 
• Flexible: Although high jump shoes and running shoes for track are meant to fit close, they should allow some flex, since your feet will swell during events. 
• Suited to your event: The best track running shoes and high jump shoes should be specifically designed for your event. For instance, a 100 metre sprinter will benefit from explosive shoes with up to 10 spikes in the forefoot, while 5,000 metre runners benefit from more cushioning and fewer spikes. If you’re unsure which shoes are right for you, ask at your athletics club.
