the best spikes for hurdles are sprinting spikes, there are some pretty fancy specific expensive ones that the professionals use, but the sprinting spikes you can get at any good sport shop. :)
^^^ that's wrong, for hurdling you want spikes with a heel. A heel much smaller than jumping spikes but definitely bigger than the non-existent one on regular sprinting spikes

MaxineThe best depends on which event you are competing in, but I assume you mean one of the horizontal jumps. Long jumpers, triple jumpers and pole vaulters normally wear similar shoes. Normally the long jump shoes don't have as thick of a heel as the triple jump shoes. Pole vaulters almost always wear a long jump or triple jump shoe but some prefer sprinting spikes, although these offer no heel protection and I wouldn't recommend them. A site that would be the best for ordering jumping spikes, or any spikes for that matter, is First to the Finish, and their URL is www.fttf.com.
The best spikes are the nike zoom victory. here is a short description of the shoe recommended for distances 800-1500mWith the Zoom Victory, Nike has produced the lightest mid-distance spike in history. Why? Because light equals fast. Drawing inspiration from suspension bridges, Nike developed the very light and supportive Flywire technology, which eliminates overlays to reduce weight and secure the foot. If you want to set a PR, strap on this rocket and go. Includes twelve 1/4" spikes and a spike wrench.
Sprint spikes are generally lighter and have little to no heel pad (crash pad), while jumping spikes usually have a good amount of cushion on the bottom (starting at the heel and often continuing all the way to the spike plate), and more often with newer models, have lockdown straps or zip-up lace covers to keep sand out, although sprint spikes may also have either, as well.
