it helps you very well because when you are running you are tyring to stay ahead of everybody so you will win so while you run the spikes grab more ground as you run so you can keep a good pace. Also when the track is wet you can't holly run on the track because the ground is to slippery so the track spikes will help you through wet weather.

yes. they give much more traction because of the metal tips and they are much lighter than regular shoes which makes it much easier to lift your legs up. I strongly recommend purchasing spikes if you are doing track&field.

The purpose of track spikes is to add stability and resistance to the aesthete's shoe by gripping into the ground with the spikes located on the bottom of the shoe.

Track Spikes are screwed into the bottom of most Track and Field shoes to increase track and minimize the likelihood of slipping. The spikes are usually made of metal, ceramic, or plastic.

Is do you run faster in cleats or tennis shoes a good science prodject?

No, because the only reason spikes are on a cleat, is because the spikes provide better traction for an athlete. It doesn't have to do much with perpetual motion, or anything. Personally, I run faster in tennis shoes, if there are any inquiring minds that need to know.


Do you need track spikes for high jump?

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.

How much will track spikes help your mile?

It depends. Simply wearing track spikes is not enough to make you a good runner. Conversely, it's possible to run a very fast time in ordinary sneakers. Racing spikes are just shoes designed specifically to wear when racing, they are a lot lighter than ordinary trainers but have less support. Personally, I've found wearing track spikes can have as much of a psychological boost as a physical boost (since you're wearing lighter racing shoes you feel faster). If you're serious about racing you should probably get a pair of spikes but if you're just running the PE mile you can do all right in normal sneakers.

Are all track spikes removable Is it bad to take them off your shoe and then run with them?

Spikes should be removeable because they wear out pretty easily. If your spikes don't come out there is something wrong with your shoe. It is only bad to run with your spikes still on when you're not running on track or grass. NEVER run with spikes on concrete or anything else!!! It is not bad to run around with no spikes on your shoes, I do it all the time :)

Can you wear running spikes without the spikes in the bottom to make them just plain sneakers?

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.
