Question : Where is the best place to get cross country shoes?
I usually just use regular running shoes for cross country but as my last year in high school I would like to try using real cross country shoes. I don't want ones with spikes though. Our cross country team doesn't use those.
Any answers are appreciated!
Thanks!
:D
Answer:
It depends on how serious you are about running, and how often you run. When you are buying your first serious pair, I always recommend going to a good running store so they can take a look at your feet. They can tell what kind of arches you have, whether you pronate when you run, and where you land on your foot. All of these factors affect what kind of shoe you should get. If you get the wrong one, it can lead to unnecessary pain and discomfort. You can't just go somewhere and say "I want Asics". Asics makes a whole line of shoes for all different types of feet. It's like going to a bookstore and saying that you want a book.
Once you find a model that works for you, then you can go to an outlet store. But if you are serious about continuing to run, take the time to go to a store that specializes in running. You will be happy you did!
PS, here's a good link to a Runners' World site that will help you to see what kind of shoe will best fit your foot. They also have a lot of reviews from other users, so you can see what might work best for you;

Question : Whats a good kind of cross country shoes for a meet? Like do I want Spikes,or Flat bottom rubber??
Cross Country course are all different, they are hilly,rough, and soft. It is 3.1 miles and I need a good race shoes, I am a junior in high school.
Answer:
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

Question : Can cross-country shoes be used for track?
I have a pair of cross-country flats which can have spikes added to them. Are these the kind of racing shoes that could be used for track, or would I need a new pair?
Answer:
If you are running long distance in track, the shoes would probably work. However, if you are looking to participate in sprinting events, you may want to invest in another type of shoe specifically made for sprinting. Usually sprinting shoes have spikes just on the ball of the foot to allow quicker turnover while distance shoes have spikes more all over the shoe to allow the runner to use their entire foot. Hope this helps!

Question : Running shoes, cross country shoes?
I was looking at the Zoom Miller XC, the GHAC XCs and Nike Free trainer 7.0s (These are all nike). I was going to start running again and I was looking into various shoes.
1. I was going to get a pair of Megabounce + from adidas or Nike 360s for long distant running on concrete. (<10 miles)
2. I like the zoom millers because nike says: " a science of tread design that lends traction on grass snow mud and loose terrain. " These are cross country shoes so I thought they would be useful to have as multipurpose because of the tread on the bottom is rubber but not spikes - I wanted a shoe that would be less inclined to get saturated with dirt like typical running shoes with their cloth lininig; I also wanted a shoe I could play a few casual sports games in- (its a little funny showing up to a game with cleats when it was only going to be light).
People say you can wear any shoe for whatever purpose; but I was trying to specialise the shoes I would to wear.
Answer:
Don't get too hung up on marketing. Nike is very good at it, yet if you look at people running down the street, you see few Nikes on runners feet.
You also don't need to overthink specialized shoes for cross country. Every cross-country course I ran in high school or college was rarely worse more than a smooth dirt fire road. There is nothing wrong with specializing, but do focus on fit and comfort.
Most conventional running shoes will suit your purposes. I like to buy 2 pairs at a time, and alternate or dedicate one for the dirty stuff.
The best advice any of us can offer, is go to a running shoe store, and let them 1) measure your feet, and 2) watch you run. It is CRITICAL to find a shoe that suits your tendencies. If you need stability control, or have high arches, flat feet, pronate, supinate, whatever, you will perform MUCH better in the right shoes and stay injury free.
I can't wear Nike, and never have been able to. I'm an Asics and New Balance guy exclusively. Adidas has come a long way...
Good luck, and welcome back to the road...

Question : What are good Cross Country race shoes?
I have never done Cross Country before but have done track. So for cross country are spiked shoes good or are non spikes better? Any brands and models you recommend? I personally did not enjoy running with spikes in track because I thought it was harder for some reason, I guess this is just a personal preference. But what would you recommend? Just regular Asics shoes?
Answer:
I'd suggest spikes. Over 5k, you may have hills, dirt, mud, woodchips, or even sand. All of this terrain means that a secure grip so you don't slip and your feet don't slide is very important. Spikes are therefore important.
I'm a fan of saucony, notably the Saucony Kilkenny spike, but not everyone likes those. I'd go to a running store and have them fit you, and to try different shoes out.
Good luck this season!
