Trying to decide whether I should get the splats to use for this winter XC season rather than just get Victory XC spikes, but I'm not sure how well they would work for racing versus the true XC spikes. They look like they could be pretty comfortable, especially since we might have to deal with some pretty muddy/bad conditions, it might help to have a lil extra foam on the bottom, and they don't weigh too much more. Wondering what others thought about racing XC in the Splats?
