    Relative to normal running shoes spikes are not that expensive so I'd suggest the saving made online is not worth the risk of poor fitting. What part of the country are you in? And are they for the track or XC?

    Track and field.

    I'm living in Waterford. Not much selection here. Was given a quote of €50 a pair by one retailer. Would that sound about right?

    I was going to suggest Amphibian King if you were near Dublin/Wicklow. Is there an Elverys near you? That price sounds right although you can pick up deals around the €35/€40 mark from time to time.

    I'm in the same boat on the hunt for XC spikes for my 8 year old. Can't get any in a small enough size anywhere including Amphibian King. Can only find them starting size 1 online. So would be interested to hear if you find any
