Great Value for a XC shoe
These are the greatest shoes for the money when it comes to track or cross country spikes. This is the 4th pair of New Balance spikes I've bought for my son. These are great for both cross country or track. The size is very true to size. He wears a 10.5 in every shoe I've bought him. They are super light weight. I'm sure that compared to other brands they might be heavier but at this point I don't think a couple of ounces are going to make a huge difference. The price compared to other brands is huge. Your Brooks and Nike can be upwards of $100 or more. I've never seen a New Balance XC shoe costing more than $80. Overall it's well worth the money to purchase a good quality spike for $40 and they will last. These will last a couple of seasons if you take care of them. If they don't, no worries just purchase a new pair and go on. Not mention they do have pretty cool colors.
