Obviously it's personal preference. I'd go with the victories, or even better... teh nangs. |

Kennedy XC's were always my favorites. But I have not used the Victory XCs before. |

victories or matumbos are going to get trashed unless they are on a well kept grass course. |

Jacob, if they are anything like the dirt dog 2's go for them. I used those and loved them. very durable and fairly light for xc spike. |

I've loved the Saucony Kilkenny's but really it's about preference. There's not really much else you can say about racing shoes haha. |

Saucony Shay XC is the best xc spike. First of all wearing a track spike for xc is dumb, it isn't designed for the surfaces you run on. I think saucony makes the best xc spikes...I give it to nike every time for track but not xc |

what kind of shoe you wear doesn't make a big difference on race performance, it comes down to what you are comfortable wearing... |

how does saucony suck? please enlighten me. saucony makes an outstanding spike. the biggest reason all the kids at footlocker wore nike is because their favorite pros wear nike. their favorite pros wear nike because that is who their contract is with. saucony spikes are owners of the fastest sprint times EVER. even though its not distance, you cant tell me that spike sucks. |

haha really? I've had 3 pairs of Forevers, and they've all been solid. Maybe your choice in products are not consistent IE different models not working for your needs. |

Ok for the record all of the fast people wear nikes because they a superior in weight, spike plates, drainability, breathablity,and technology. Everyone knows that if you are a serious racer lighter is better and that saucony is a brand for new runners because $30 does not give you the proformance of $110 sorry kid shouldnt argue with the big boys |

Not so......

Im going to have to disagree with you here. Why do you say nike has the best technology? Because they tell you so. I highly doubt you did extensive research on every single shoe yourself. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. And only nike shoes can deliver performances? Lets look at all of the most recent world records. Usain Bolt. Puma. David Rudisha. Adidas. Dayron Robles. Adidas. Haile Gebrselassie. Adidas. Lot of nike in there right? |
