If you are referring to stud types, then metal spikes are not allowed at most clubs, soft spikes are recommended.
No but some do it's best to use soft spikes.
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.

The direct answer to this question is yes and no! Many golfers with older shoes still have metal spikes, but almost all newer golf shoes come with plastic spikes. The reason metal spikes fell out of favor is because of the marks they left in the greens, especially if the golfer was careless and dragged his/her foot. These days, many good golf courses will not allow you to play if you have metal spikes. Replacing old metal spikes is easy with a spike key and a bag of new plastic spikes. Just twist off the old spikes and screw in the new ones and you're good to go.
