There are mainly three types of spikes used in sports: pyramid spikes, needle spikes, and Christmas tree spikes. Pyramid spikes provide good traction on most surfaces and are suitable for track and field events. Needle spikes offer excellent grip on soft surfaces like grass and are commonly used in cross country running. Christmas tree spikes are versatile and can be used on various surfaces, making them suitable for multiple sports. The choice of spike type depends on the activity and surface conditions, with each type offering different levels of performance and suitability.
From what I read is that Nikes and SPikes are very good running shoes. I personally think Nikes are great for running. and it is said that spikes are great for hardcore running.
in one word. no
The purpose of running spikes are to provide traction as well as minimizing the chances of slipping. The spikes for a distance runner tend to be larger than spikes used by a sprinter.
I went to the site and found some good information on the spikes running shoes. They have miniature spikes made of light rubber under the soles. They help to keep the grip on the surface.

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.
