I'm 16 and a sophmore and when ever I do Triple Jump I would use my High Jump shoes. They are the Nike Zoom High Jump III because they have a heel. My coach always says land "Heel to Toe" so I thought it would be ok to use. Well yesterday I had a meet and another coach said I should use my sprinting shoes instead of the High Jump shoes and I shouldn't land "Heel to Toe". I'm not really sure what to do here. I'm thinking of getting Triple Jump shoes but I don't know if it would help because of what that other coach says. Please help me.

firstly: i believe its illegal to use heel spikes in any other event but jav and HJ.
secondly: you should be landing heel to toe and that other coach should quit
thirdly: tj spikes are good if you're going to tj lots as they have a thicker heel and will help impact absorption
