Whats the difference between different track shoes?

Juan: Whats the difference between different track shoes?
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?

High Jump shoes have heel support
hurdle shoes are made for impact of the first few steps over the hurdles.
spikes (200-400m) all the support is in the toes, made specifically for running on your toes (thats wear your fastest) theres no support/cushioning in any part but the toes.

The largest difference if your getting spikes is that sprinting spikes have 5 spikes where high jump have 6 in the front and another 4 in the back. Special spikes for high jumps and really can’t help you much unless your an elite high jumper.

Most people have sprinting spikes and use them for both.
