The Totally Unofficial 2008 XC Spike Thread

I just realized that I'm pretty girly in how much I like shoes.

I'm the same way, but i won't get flats until I pay for them myself, probably in college.

yeah i know..i think i might get milers this year (i need to find my size in guys) and then ill think about those maybe for track depending on the cost..i know if i get in national honor society as a sophomore i bet they'll let me have em and i should get in...sweet.

at our school, you can't get inducted into NHS until you are a junior.

same here, but it really screws with sports, because you have to tutor alot after school and thats going to interfer with xc and track

Yeah, and the PRs are $90, so I'll probably just order a $40 pair of spikeless forevers. Hopefully they'll be a little more aggressive than my current flats.

I think i've decided to go with those. I've heard some good things on here about them too.

All good choices, but I'm not sold on the marathoners (that's what those are, aren't they?). I'd rather go with the T5s or Mayflys.

If you look around, you could probably find a 20% off code. I think I saw one on Dyestat.

i'd rather pay the extra $10 than look through DS threads for a half hour.

They're the zoom streak xc's, so there pretty much made for ashphalt (road races) or grassy xc courses. I'd recommend them if you like the feel of the milers, they are quite similar. You need really strong feet if you buy the mayfly's. They have pretty much no support or cushioning (why they're so light) and they even say only use for a max of 100km.

Yeah, I thought they looked like the marathoners. If I got mayflys I'd only use them for 5ks (only road races I run). I've heard good things about the streaks, though.

Are yours by anychance http://www.newbalance.com/running/trackandfield/LDS605AS/ those??? They felt fine in the store, but a couple track meets later (during the mile) I thought my shins were going to just pop off or something. IT was baad.

I dont have any spikes..but I really want some.

I don’t have spikes either…..I’ve never run in them…..
I’ve heard that you don’t really need them for xc, more for track?. Is that true?

Kilkennys!! I love them!!
I had them for track, so I'm just going to carry them over to XC.
