Which training shoes are best for 50-meter indoor track sprinting?

Question

Not really interested in racing shoes, but just overall training/practice ones that are in the $50-100 price range. This is for high school indoor track, btw. Thanks.

Answer 1

if you're doing 50m sprints then you training should consist of resistance training, plyometrics and sprints.

If you already have sprinting spikes and are looking for suitable shoes for the gym then go for something with plenty of support like the asics gel kayano,

If you want something for indoor training on a wooden floor look for something more along the lines of a squash or basketball as the blow-molded outsole in most trainers performs poorly on wood.

Finally, if you are training on an indoor track regularly then you should be wearing spikes. (this is fine for sprinters but longer distances can get away with trainers out of competition) I wear asics hyper sprints which I find perfect for my needs, but you can probably find something suitable from any big manufacturer. Dont forget to sit down as do some ground stretches or something between sets of sprints (or even take the spikes off) for the first few sessions until your feet and legs get used to them.
