I currently own the Mizuno long jump.
http://www.dickpondathletics.com/istar. ... 0236!MIZUN
They're comfortable, fit well, and provide great running support for vaulting.
I'm looking for a new pair of spikes as these have become pretty worn but i'm trying to find unique spikes that not all vaulters have.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Trying to find Unique Pole vault spikes.
There aren't that many pole vault/jump specific spikes, so you tend to see everyone in the same stuff.
This is a new brand that probably not many people have: http://www.teneoathletics.com/kangaroo.htm
I don't see a ton of kids in New Balance, they might be a bit more unique?

Hey, so i ordered the spikes from teneoathletics. And I thought i should let you know that these spikes are amazing. I was apprehensive at first because of the zipper. but they fit great, have a great spike plate and pattern and you feel secure running with them on. Thanks a lot!

if you have the same mizuno long jumps im thinking do this. take a look at the spike plate on the mizunos, and then on the teneos, what do you notice?
the teneos are a great shoe at a great price. he has really done a nice jump making shoes everyone can afford. unfortunately they dont come big enough if your over size 12.

Its the same spike pattern which i like. But unfortunately that spike plate provides little traction without spikes in.

Do you vault indoors where you can't use spikes? I recommend using the type of cross country spikes that have rubber nubbies instead of metal spikes. These are lightweight and have good traction, but they won't scratch up a gym floor.
