Lite Spikes

Omni Lite replacement track and field spikes are a premium spike available to use instead of heavier steel spikes that are typically supplied with your shoes and readily available in sports stores.  Omni Lites are made of a ceramic aluminium and weigh only 1/3 the weight of traditional steel spikes.  With that weight advantage there is a trade off in that Omni Lite spikes may wear quicker than steel, particularly if they aren't looked after and are walked over hard surfaces.

Spikes are no different than the tyres of your car, they are the point of contact with the track surface.  If you mistreat the tyres on your car, they will wear out quicker than normal.  The same applies to your spikes irrespective of what they are made of.

Here are a few points that we recommend all athletes do to get the very best out of their spikes.

• AVOID HARD SURFACES.  Please do not walk, jog or run on hard surfaces like concrete or bitumen when wearing your spikes.  Hard surfaces will damage your Omni Lite spikes in no time at all.
• There is no need to over tighten Omni Lite spikes when you install them in your shoes.  Just nip them up and check them regularly, particularly before competition.
• Check your Omni Lites for signs of wear regularly.  Again just like the tyres on your car, if and when you notice signs of your spikes wearing, rotate them around your shoe.  Typically the spikes on one side of your shoe will wear more than the other side depending on your pronation.  Simply move the spikes around on the shoe which may help to even out the wear on the spikes and increase their life span.
• Most running shoes have 10-12 spikes per pair of shoes.  We sell Omni Lites in bags of 14 or 20 so you will always have plenty of spares when the time comes to replace worn spikes.
• The colour of the spikes will eventually wear off.  This is entirely normal and is a cool way to see just how far your spikes actually push in to the track and is another good indicator of pronation and just which spikes are working the hardest as you propel yourself  down the track.

POSTAGE OPTIONS

Lite Spikes is based in Regional NSW.  Postage times from our area often differ to the postage times afforded to larger city areas.  We will guarantee to have your order in the mail to you within 2 business days of placing your order.  As we are sure you can appreciate, we have no control over how long it takes Australia Post to deliver your order to you once it has left our hands. Unfortunately we are finding Australia Post very hit and miss.  Some orders arrive within 2-3 days whilst some are taking 2-3 weeks for no apparent reason.  Please judge our service based on how long it took us to process and post your order, not how long it took Australia Post to deliver it.

We offer several postage options to give you the flexibility to choose how you would like us to send your order to you.  We recommend choosing an option that includes tracking.

Standard Post is the cheapest option.  We can get up to 8 bags delivered at the standard rate of $3.00 or 9-16 bags for $4.50.  Please note, there is NO tracking or insurance with standard post.  By choosing standard post you agree to take on the risk involved should your order go missing in the post.  Lite Spikes will not refund your payment for missing items in the post should you choose a postage option without tracking.

Registered Post is our recommended option for orders up to 8 bags.  The cost of Registered Post is $10.00 which includes online tracking and up to $100 insurance.

Australia Post - Satchel Bag (Up to 5kg) provides you with tracking but NO insurance.  The cost of parcel post is $12.00.
