How to get correct sizing track spikes?

Hello!

I am looking for a well, good fitting dragonfly. Unable to find a brick and mortar shop, I am likely looking to get a dragonfly from an online platform or marketplace (if possible).

How do find the correct sizing for track spikes if you are purchasing online? Any guides?

For reference, I am wearing a US12 Pegasus Turbo 2 and US12 Streak LT4. Both of which are about one thumb spacing from the front of the shoe (with my heel pressed against the back of the shoe). I do have a size US12 Zoom Victory 3 in the past but the shoe felt very long and there were slipping issues. Should I size down a size or half a size in a Dragonfly?

Thanks for all the advice.

I recently got distance spikes. I asked for them by European size, matching the European size of my road shoes. I have found the Euro sizing to be more consistent. This may be an illusion and I have just been fortunate.

When I get my favorite brand of road shoes, I just get the US size that has been right for me for the last N pairs of shoes.

Read the reviews. Most tell you if they run true to size.

Definitely go a half size to full size down for dragonflies. I wear 12 in the pegs as well and would recommend 11-11.5 for dragonfly

I have average width feet and wear Streak LTs and Mamba Vs in a size 9. Nike racing shoes generally have a similar last. Just get the size you wear in the Streaks.

Hey! Do you mean shoes with similar last have the same shape and sizing? I am able to find a pair of the NEXT% to try out in some sizes. Would you think they will help?

Thanks for replying.

re: Finding Dragonflies

I purchased a pair of Dragonflys and the sizing is consistent with other racing (lightweight) Nikes that I own (Zoomfly and Next%). I took into consideration that my racing socks are thinner and tigher than what I use in training.

Suggest you purchase through Runningwarehouse (if they still have your size). They offer free returns. Worse case scenario buy two pair and return the ones that don't fit to your liking.

Good luck
