While you can purchase shoes and spikes from Dick's Sporting Goods or Amazon, a local speciality running stores will have knowledgeable staff who can help you find the right shoes and spikes for your events. Sprinter spikes have a higher heel and distance spikes are flatter. Throwing shoes have smooth sole to allow for gliding and spinning. Dick Pond uses a treadmill and video analysis to help determine the best fit for you.
