What is the best shoe to wear for the 1600/3200? Can I wear road super shoes on the track on hs? What’s the best spike?
Also… thinking of trying the steeplechase this year. Should I get a different shoe for it?

ADIDAS doesn't get enough credit for their distance shoes lately, the Avanti tyo is amazing and yea I hate Nike for spikes but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Another underrated shoe is the barefoot one. You'd be surprised what times guys can crank out with no shoes on.

Do you think Dragonfly spike is faster than Vaporfly road shoe (e.g. 1-2 sec/lap) or is it negligible?

Track Spike: For competitive track events like the 1600 and 3200 meters, track spikes are typically the best option. Track spikes are lightweight shoes with metal spikes or pins on the sole that provide traction and grip on the track surface, enhancing speed and performance. Look for distance spikes designed specifically for longer races, which often feature more cushioning and support compared to sprint spikes.This post was edited 1 minute after it was posted.00

Definitely get spikes. You will feel much faster than with road shoes on. You really can’t go wrong with any of the ones people listed above, but my favorite are the Nike dragonfly and the On Cloudspike 10,000. Hope this helps!
