The reason you feel your ankles/calves load more in spikes is because spiked shoes act as "jumpsoles". Meaning - the spike length in the front part of the foot creates a forefoot loaded walk/run mechanics and the heel will be in the air if the foot is parallel to the ground.
So they basically act like "shorter jumpsoles", making that one additional benefit of spiked shoes.
