This is my first year running track and i dont have spikes but i need to get some. Im also doing high jump and hurdles and i noticed that they have different kind of shoes for each event. Whats are the differences between sprints shoes (200 - 400m) and high jump shoes? Also, could I buy one kind and use it for both events and what would be better, use sprint shoes for both events or use high jump shoes for both?

I recently bought a pair of track shoes. Asics Turbo Phantom
My running shoes are size 5 so i bought the track shoes in size 5 too.
They are kind of tight but i can still move my toes a little.
I’m planning on doing the 800m and 400m.
Should i get a 1/2 size larger? Or is it suppose to be tight?

-Are regular running shoes allowed for track?
