As an expirienced runner I would say no. I say no because spikes are meant to contain traction on the ground while you run. Someone may have anothe answer this is mine: Do not wear spikes as sneakers.
YOU NEED YOUR LEGS AND RUNNING SNEAKERS YOU NEED A STARTING PEG WITH A GOOD GRIP Why do people wear trainers for the 100 metre sprint? Is this what u mean?
You can get running spikes at most running specialty stores, sporting good stores, as well as online running-related retailers.
The purpose of running spikes are to provide traction as well as minimizing the chances of slipping. The spikes for a distance runner tend to be larger than spikes used by a sprinter.
Yes you can run in track shoes without the spikes but, I think that you should have spikes at the bottom of your track shoes because if you have the spikes then you can run faster than you would without them. Track and Field athletes that run during the indoor season run with studs, also known as blanks, in their shoes so as to not ruin the shoe or the track. They still choose to wear their spike shoes do to the lightweight nature of the shoe and the fact that they are accustomed to running in them. However, it is not recommended to wear stud/blanks on outdoor tracks.
They are not different things. Soft spikes are the spikes on the bottom of most golf shoes. There are two types of spikes, soft spikes (which are as standard with 99% of golf shows) and metal spikes - which are a single metal stud. Metal spikes were common many years ago, but soft spikes have revolutionised the industry, they provide more grip and are not as taxing on the green.
There is different types of surfaces for different spikes: track for track spikes cross country for cross country spikes
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.
I believe the spikes on the bottom of soccer cleats are known as cleats!

Since you are standing on concrete and no running is involved, I would highly recommend NOT doing it. It ruins your spikes and your technique, not to mention the sound the spikes make. There are throwing shoes designed specifically for different techniques, they usually have thick rubber and curved sides on the bottom for smoother throwing.
You can get them of ebay.co.uk, sportsshoes.com, momentumsports.co.uk, newitts.com, fitnessfootwear.com, sweatshop.co.uk or just google running spikes and most of these websites come up.
