there are actually shoes that are called spikes. sportsmen wear spikes because when they are running the spikes underneath grip the ground so your not going backwards when naturally in normal shoes your going a bit backwards when you're walking or running.

What kind of shoes do you use for soccer?
Cleats, with rubber not metal spikes.
Can you use regular track shoes with javelin spikes?
No, I do not recommend using regular track shoes to throw the javelin. Javelin spikes have spikes in the heel as well as the front, so you can plant your block leg without slipping. Generally speaking javelin spike shoes are a heavier shoe. This allows for the much longer spikes. However, some athletes do wear there "regular" spike shoes and purchase a "jav heel" to add the extra much needed spikes in the heels.
Can you wear baseball cleats when running track?
Yes, you will need different track shoes and cleats/spikes for different events.

And throwing shoes do not have spikes and have a smooth sole.

Can you use Track spikes on cement?
Its a bad idea. You wouldn't be any faster then with normal shoes the spikes are to small to get grip. Just designed to penitrate rubbery track surface with little effect. Use on grass could break the spikes. Trust me just use cleats. There are special spike shoes used for grass that javelin throwers use. The spikes can be as long as 1". They are designed to grip the slippery surface of grass/mud. However, they are not designed for the 100m dash.
Do you use all your spikes in your shoes for track or only wear some of them?
Its a thing of preference because not everyone has the same kinds of spikes. I use the outer 6 on my spikes and put a blunt in for the center but some people only have four places to put spikes. See what you like and just go with that
