looking to get some spikes, right now i have the cheapest spikes i could find the nike zoom rival S III which i bought a year ago for 20 bucks. ive kept my interest in sprinting and am looking to get a solid pair of spikes now.

im 6’2″ 195lbs and im gonna be using them for the 55m/60m and 100m.

so what are the best spikes out there are what are the best spikes for an affordable price?

also how bad are those old nike zoom rival S III do they make that much difference from the good spikes?

Depends what you want – if you want a stiff, solid plate then Nike R2’s are the best, but you might want something lighter like Powercats …

Eastbay usually has awesome deals on last season’s models, ie – the Powercat is on sale for 30-60 bucks, depending on your shoe size. Asics Lightning for $50; Nike Monster Fly for $50 (Looks like a hell of a deal), Zoom Mawler – $100. Have heard the Celar’s and Maxcats are good versatile spikes.

i dont even know if i like a stiff plate because ive never tried one but im assuming with my weight being higher than most sprinters that a stiff plate would be better compared to the shitty spikes i have now. what would be the best stiff plate affordable spikes

Max Cat 2’s are a great deal.
