All runners should wear professionally-fitted shoes for best results and to prevent injury. It is recommended to have at least one pair of training shoes and a pair of cross country or track spikes for meets. 1/4" pyramid spikes only unless otherwise advised by coaches. Shoes should be replaced at 400-500 miles or earlier if significant wear is present.
