im doing track and field this year, and im a sprinter. (100 meter) and i wanna know the best shoes for me. ive been looking at the nike turb oz shox thing, but thats for long distances:(. any suggestions?
Titus is right. I have no idea what brands they are but I use them for 1000m Runs, even though some people recomend Cross runners. I am not sure about short distance, my mate runs 100m in sprints.
You can get sprinting shoes by all the big companies...Nike, Adidas, New Balance, etc. You do have to get special shoes made for the track surface...try www.runnersworld.com or something like that..
Several posts were deleted, and warnings were issued as needed, the topic of the thread is sprinting shoes, please keep side conversations via PM or IM, but not in public eye. This thread is dangerously close to locked. - Laika

First off, the nike turboz shox should not even be used for serious running, they are just for looking good...
If you are looking for just running flats (normal work out shoes) then I would suggest the Mizuno Men's Maverick 3, though be ready to take the shoe back to the store because Mizuno's will either last nearly forever or fall apart in the first week.
For sprinting (100 to 400 meters) I have always been a huge fan of the Nike Track Zoom Sprint Running Spike - NIK 1409, though I would only recomend this if you have a few years of running under your belt, and already good form, espically with your foot stiking the ground as these spikes offer no support. These are the fastest,lightest spikes out there but beacuse of that, they are also the hardest on your feet espically if your running on a poor surface.
A better spike for just starting out and most likely better for the 100m anyways (Im a 400m/400 Huddles guy) would be the Nike Men's Zoom Superfly P 2. Offering support, cusion, and molded to put your foot in the proper position, I think this would be a better spike for you.
I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions I'll be happy to help:grin2: .
