Use Rubber Mats to Protect Your Track From Unnecessary Cleat Damage

Summer is approaching and Football practice is starting up for many high schools and colleges. Football practice means cleats on feet – hundreds of feet each day – crossing over the oval running track that often surrounds school football fields. Running tracks can cost a small fortune and they look great. How long they look great depends upon the measures taken to protect the surface of the track. Consider the use of rubber floor mats to protect your track.
Floor mats can be used to prevent damage to tracks that can occur from football cleats, turf care vehicles and other types of equipment that are required to roll over the track to get to the interior field area. Protection of the track is often an afterthought or not a thought at all until the damage occurs and costly repairs are required. The methods of protection employed may include putting some plywood over the track, carpet remnants or some other product not designed to protect the substrate underneath.

Spikes for Track and Field Athletes

Track and field spikes are specialized shoes. They are not only designed for track and field but designed specifically for each individual track or field event. I have been asked where to buy track and field shoes since entering the track equipment business. First, it is important to recognize that there are different types of track shoes depending on what track and field event you participate in. At the younger ages and lower abilities it isn’t as important to have specialized track and field shoes. However, as the athletes’ ability increases it is important to purchase the appropriate footwear. Multi-event track and field athletes have several pairs of track shoes, generally speaking one for each event. There are spike shoes for hurdling, mid-distance, multi-purpose, pole vault/long jump/ triple jump, high jump, distance, sprint, and javelin. At the upper levels appropriate footwear is critical.
Each different track shoe is designed for a specific purpose.
