Cross-country spikes
Do you like to indulge in the mud on the field? Then you need a pair of cross spikes. These spikes don't have a stiff plate underneath, because you have to push yourself forward in the mud. That asks for a somewhat flexible, supple shoe. But instead of a full-length plate, they have a plate to attach the spike pins. The profile of the outsole is also more durable than that of track spikes and has grooves to tackle the mud.
Spike pins
What most spikes have in common, are the spike pins underneath. These play a very important role, namely giving you the power and traction. The number of pins and the length depends on the discipline and surface.
Do you have spikes with replaceable pins? Then you can easily remove one when it's broken. The spike pins are available in the Runners' lab webshop. Do your spikes have fixed pins? Then it's unfortunately not possible to remove a pin.
