Spikes reduce slipping and increase your stride lenth. They also help you run the curve. It is easy to see that spikes help your speed if you time yourself in training with and without spikes. It is about 2 seconds faster with spikes, rather than running in racing flats over the 400 meters.No it helps gain traction on the track, and thus "waste" less energy and motion.
