Do track shoes make you run faster the a reguler Nike shoes?

Track Spikes help you reach your maximum speed by creating more traction but it isn't a BIG BIG difference. I used my regular nike running shoes at a meet and still won first place even though everyone else was wearing spikes.


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.


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.


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.


Do spike shoes make a difference?

Yes, the spikes in the shoes create a connection between the running person and the track. As a result the forces will push the runner forward, instead of slipping the shoe backwards. Also it reduces the friction and does not allow easy wear and tear on the shoes


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.


Which shoe to get for long distance runners?

If you are running on a track, you can wear spikes, just make sure there is a cushion in the heel. Sprinter spikes have very little heel cushion.


How do you run in track and field spike shoes?

it's really not that hard because u have to make sure your spikes are Sharp and not dull at all times. So when you get ready to run u will be able to cover more ground than you would do in regular shoes. and it will help you gain speed around the edges


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.


What material is used to make spike in running shoe?

Track shoes with spikes on the bottom help you improve your run greatly. They are only used for field events and sprinting however. Some meets and clubs require that you have certain lengths of spikes. They skrew in and are easy to take in and out. Your form should be developed before you start using them and are not recommended for younger kids. These shoes are usually light-weight and can cost anywhere from $20-$120.


Why sportsmen use shoes with spikes?

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.


Differences between spikes and molded cleats?

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.
