Do you have to have cleats for hurdles in track?

This is my first year in track and I was wondering if I had to buy cleats or special kinds of shoes or if just normal running shoes would work. For either, which kind would be the best? (preferably under $100) I have shoes for track and they are Asics, would they work maybe. I really have no idea.|||Normal shoes work fine, lots of people use them.|||I think you are talking about track spikes. You will want to look for a sprint spike. most spikes are pretty cheap starting at about 40 and going to 100 dollars. You need to go to sports store or a specialty running store and try on the spikes to find the right fit for you. The best kind of spikes are Nike and Asics. You could also try Saucony. And yes, spikes will make a difference in your time in the hurdles.|||Spikes should do fine just go to a good running store and you could get matched up to the distance your running (Like either 110m, 100m for women, or 400m hurdles) they should only range from around $30-$50. Regular running shoes are fine fore practice, but you will need track spikes for competition.|||I think you mean spikes.


yes you should get spikes if you plan on sprinting.


sprinting being 100m to 800 meter.


if your going for distance then your shoes should be fine


your shoes shouldn't be have more than 400 miles on them( if running distance).


if they do get some new ones, but make sure they fit well.


Good luck =)|||yes, for hurdles in track you should wear spikes. Go to eastbay.com they have the cheapest prices and you can find spikes for all types of events. But if you can go to the store first find the spike you like then find the same one online cheaper. When fitting make sure it fits tight but not to tight and i prefer removable spike so you can change the layout if you need to.|||Spikes would be the best choice. You can run without them, but you'll be a little slower than the others. It will cut up to 5 secs. off your time. Any spikes are good. The Nike Zoom Jana Star are really versatile and will work for any race.|||It might be in your best interest to get some spikes, i would recommend nikes, check the website to see. (nike.com) that would definitely be better than just running in plain running shoes.
