I don't think an online question is the best source of information for you for this type of topic. They might be good, however, you should try out the shoes first.
You could find some spikes running shoes by going online to their website. Their website will most likely offer running shoes to the customers unless they don't have any.
From what I read is that Nikes and SPikes are very good running shoes. I personally think Nikes are great for running. and it is said that spikes are great for hardcore running.
Brooks running shoes has an official website that displays all of their shoes, and also sells brook running spikes for track shoes. If you are looking to buy them in a store, the brooks running shoes website offers a tool to find the nearest outlet the sells brooks running shoes.
Yes, you will need different track shoes and cleats/spikes for different events. The number of spikes, the pattern of spikes and the length of the spikes differs for sprinters, long distance runners and jumpers. If spikes are not used for running the shoes are still different. And throwing shoes do not have spikes and have a smooth sole.
First of all you need to know what type of running you will be doing. For distance running you want a much lighter shoe than for sprinting. If you are running on a track you may just want to look into a pair of track spikes. Also it depends what type of activities you will be doing. If running is just part of your sports you may look into cross training shoes.
well it depends on the type of event you want to do. if you are doing sprints then i would recommend using sprinting spikes which are super light weight and have only a very thin heel because you don't need to use your heel. but if you are doing longer running events like the 800, 1600, etc., i would use long distance spikes which are the same as sprinting spikes but with a thicker heel because you would run heel- toe
I went to the site and found some good information on the spikes running shoes. They have miniature spikes made of light rubber under the soles. They help to keep the grip on the surface.
The grooves on the soles of shoes and boots are known as the treads. Running shoes may have spikes for grip on grass running tracks. Football boots have studs, also for grip on an often slippery, grass football pitch.
There is a great magazine called Runner's World or Running magazine and they have lists every three months on the best running shoes for different kinds of running, including trail running, track running and sprinting.
increase friction
Track shoes with spikes on the bottom help you improve your run greatly. They are only used for field events and sprinting however. Some meets and clubs require that you have certain lengths of spikes. They skrew in and are easy to take in and out. Your form should be developed before you start using them and are not recommended for younger kids. These shoes are usually light-weight and can cost anywhere from $20-$120.
In my opinion i would use spikes because they have better traction on tracks and gives you an edge because the are lightweight and in the rain it would help you. But make sure the spikes are water proof. Running Flats may slip on the ground so it is better to use spikes.
