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 :)

What are facts about track?
When you run track a pair of spikes have to be worn.
Can you race in track shoes without the spikes?
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.

Can you wear baseball cleats when running track?
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.
Can track shoes double as street shoes?

What do Spikes do to make you run faster?
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.
I have running shoes but I run for a track team now on a all weather track so I am wondering if i should buy some running flats or spikes if not niether and also if i should buy some what type?
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.
How do you install track spikes?
To install a track spike, first take the threaded part of the spike and insert it into one of the holes at the bottom of your track cleat. Turn the spike clockwise to tighten it until you can no longer turn it. To fully tighten the spike, you will need a spike wrench which you should turn clockwise until the spike fully tightens. You will repeat the same process for all of your track spikes.
