FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sprinting?

While they offer excellent grip, the Nike High Jump Elite are specifically designed for the biomechanics of high jump. For sprinting, dedicated sprint spikes would generally provide better performance.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period can vary per individual, but generally lasts between 2-4 training sessions. Focus on wearing them during warm-ups and drills initially.

Can I use these on a synthetic all-weather track?

Yes, these shoes are designed to perform well on synthetic all-weather tracks, providing the necessary grip and stability.

What size should I order?

Refer to the size chart provided by Nike and consider trying them on if possible. Athletic shoes, especially performance ones, should fit snugly. For this product, the size is UK 11.5.

How do I maintain the spikes?

Clean spikes after each use to prevent dirt buildup. Check for wear and tear regularly and replace them as needed with compatible spike replacements.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for athletic performance and are water-resistant to a degree, but should not be submerged.

Troubleshooting

Spikes are loose or damaged

Inspect spikes regularly. Replace any damaged or missing spikes using a spike wrench. Ensure replacement spikes are the correct type and size.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after break-in period

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Re-adjust lacing to find a more comfortable tension. If discomfort persists, consult with a sports footwear specialist.

Traction is poor on the track

Clean the spikes and outsole thoroughly to remove any debris. Check for significant wear on the spikes; consider replacing them if they are dull.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably, allowing for a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for high jump events on standard athletic tracks. Compatibility with other surfaces may vary, and prolonged use on abrasive surfaces could damage the spikes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off any loose dirt or mud from the outsole and upper using a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
