Track cleats are specialized shoes designed for athletes competing in track and field events. They feature a lightweight construction and a unique sole with small spikes, or cleats, that provide enhanced grip on the running surface. This design helps runners achieve better acceleration and stability during races. The spikes on track cleats can be adjusted or replaced, allowing athletes to customize their footwear based on the specific conditions of the track. Different types of spikes are available for various events, such as sprints or distance running, ensuring optimal performance for each athlete's needs.
