HOW TO CHANGE YOUR TRACK SPIKES

Tools/Things needed: Track Spikes Extra spikes (at least 8 spikes for distance) 5 holes/shoe Spike “gun”

Quick TipThe type of spikes that come with your shoes may be different styles or types depending on the events they are intended for. My spikes are meant for distance events and are typically found to be black.

This is a worn down spike that should be replaced.

Step 1

Grab your “spike gun” and place it above the specific spike you wish to change.

Step 1- continuation

In the correct picture, the “gun” is locked in place with the top of the spike that allows for a grip in order to remove it.

In the incorrect picture, the “gun” is not in line with the grip, so therefore the spike cannot be removed.

Step 2:Continue twisting until the spike becomes loose enough for you to pull it out of the shoe.

Step 3:

Continue removing all of the other spikes, following steps 1 and 2, until your shoe looks like this. (Repeat for the other shoe)

Step 4: (Finished)This is what the end result of changing your spikes looks like. They are all sharper and darker in comparison to the used and old spikes.

Side note

As you can see, the spikes are the exact same, but the bottom spike is more worn down than the top spike.
