Q2 of 14 Page 155

Why do athletes wear shoes that have spikes on their base?

The spikes at the base of shoes create a rough surface and increase the friction between the shoes and the ground. The friction helps in interlocking between the shoe surface and the ground which provides a strong grip to the athletes. This helps the athletes to run with more speed without slipping.
