  1. how old are you?  if you're young, then don't worry about it.  they'll suffice, you'll just have to be more conscience about running on the balls of your feet.  if you're a really competitive high school varsity runner, make the change.


  2. They are not the best thing to use.

    They are designed to have your foot land mostly flat footed rather than on the balls of your feet.

    They have a thick mid sole and the spike plate is not correct for sprinting.

    If this is all you have you can use them, but you should get something more suited for your events.

    A middle distance spike would work.

  3. i was in a competition last year for sprinting actually and used shoes with spikes, they are fine but obviously wont be as good as sprinting shoes. just make sure those spikes are in place properly!
