Track and field shoes....?

Question

Ok, this year i will be running track and field....and im gonna do the 100,200,400, and various relays. also long jump and high jump. sohuld i just use my sprinting shoes for long and high jump? i cant afford 2 pairs, and my parents wont buy me 2 pairs of shoes, that are, say, 60 bucks a peice, (the best deal i could find). so should i get sprinting shoes and use them for high and longjump, or should i geet long and high jump shoes and use them for sprinting. the long jump shoes i have seen have spikes just like the sprinters, but just a different pattern. so which should i buy.

Answer 1

since your doing more sprinting events deff. go with the sprinting shoes. they are called sprinting spikes. and many many people use these for jumping events as well. they will suit you for all the events listed, and some sprinting spikes have different arrangements in there spikes so go to a running store and ask about the different arrangements.

Answer 2

ok u have sprinting shoes....100 and 200 quatermile shooes(400 and 800) those have a heel long jump has a special shoe different from high jump my advice buy the sprinting shoe and use that for all because the high and long jump shoes are heavier . good luck
