What are the best spikes for a 1600M/800M/3200M runner, I focus mostly on the mile, doing it every meet and then either doing the 800 or 3200m. Size 10.5 if that matters.

Nike Zoom Victory
Nike Victory 3. Hands down.

crazy, we answered at like exactly the same time with the same thing. Great minds think alike!
Looks good and I'm probably going to get them, but for the sake of comparison or alternative, is there any other shoe in the same league as the Victory 3's?
No
Any spike is only as good as the runner wearing it
Thanks for enlightening me, I will race barefoot from now on.
I like the zoom victory elites (not the elite 2s, although I've never tried the 2s).
Also the saucony endorphin lds are also really nice.
Victory elite 2s are awesome! The matumbos are nice too since they zip up you don’t have to worry about laces hurting the top of your feet or coming untied they feel great! The victory 3 is nice also. If you’re 400-1600 go victory elite, if you’re more 3200 go with the 3s or matumbos
Depends on the person, if you like more cushion go Hoke One One Evo R, very comfy and a great ride. Although these are only track spikes. If you've been racing in spikes for a while then the Zoom Vic's are in a league of their own (assuming you don't want the cushioning). If you're new to spikes, Zoom Distance spikes will serve your purpose well and get you used to the feeling.
Adidas Avanti or Nike Mamba
The new Saucony Endorphin LD is AWESOME.
You're not going to run in non-Nike shoes. Why did you post this? People who aren't in HS may recommend Saucony or adidas but your fellow HS guys won't. You will wear the swoosh just like your peers. Not saying you shouldn't, just saying you will.
Nike spikes are much better than adidas dude gtfoh
...but I'm in high school and recommended the Hoka One One Evo Rs?
Actually, most of my team runs in Saucony's or brooks
Yeah, I love Saucony Carrera XC 3s
In high school I wore OG Vic’s and Matumbos. I’m a big fan of the Victory / Vic Elite, but the latest iteration is quite aggressive. These days I would probably pick a Matumbo 2 over a Vic Elite 2 / Vic 3 for a 3200 on the track.

125 bucks? Seriously? A HS kid should be able to pick up a decent pair of spikes for half that price, my friend. Rival, Vendetta, Zoom D, DistanceStar...all are good choices.
