Lots of questions regarding track spikes?

1. Should you wear track spikes with or without socks? i usually wear them with Nike Elite running socks but my friend ( who is like the fastest person in my school ) said not to wear them with socks2. When running '' on your toes'' should your heel be high up in the air or close to the ground (almost touching)?3. I somehow made a much faster time wearing flat-footed shoes then spikes- how could this be?4. Should I go to practice in my (only) spikes or should I go to practice in flat-footed shoes as I get best results from them?5. Does weight matter in speed? Because my friend who is the fastest guy in our school is like 5'11 and weighs around 115lbs and is stick thin whereas I have a lot more muscle packed on at 5'9'' and 155lbs but still lost by around 5-7 secs to him. btw- It's not fat as I have only 8% bodyfat and I weightlift
