Whats a good kind of cross country shoes for a meet? Like do I want Spikes,or Flat bottom rubber??
for cross country you're going to want spikes with a rubber spike plate and removable spikes


this way, if the course has a lot of cement on it, you can take the spikes out and just race without them in the shoe


go to a running shoe store, though, as opposed to a huge sporting goods store, because they'll make sure you're fitted correctly and will recommend a good pair for you
Reply:Even though regular shoes are more comfortable, i suggest spikes because they provide plenty of traction and are VERY light. Besides, you dont really think about your shoes when you're in a meet.
Reply:Most people wear spikes, because they are light and can help with gripping the course better so you don't slip. I personally prefer my running shoes ahead of spikes, because I find spikes uncomfortable and they don't offer enough support for me. It's all about personal preference. If you like spikes, go to a RUNNING SHOE store, and find a good pair. Make sure to get new ones every season, no matter if you choose spikes or running shoes. Just go with what your heart desires!!
Reply:you only need flats if your an extremley good runner. spikes are for mostly dirt or mud courses, most people that do high school xc get normal running shoes that are just more durable or trail runners. best place to go would be road runners sports or snails pace
Reply:I have used spikes and regular running shoes and liked spikes better because you run faster and feel comfortable.
