I am new to running in spikes, and was wondering whether this would work. So I do the 800, 1600, and 3200 for track. I was wondering If I could get away using the Nike Victory XC 5 spikes for track season, then the following cross country season. If anyone owns these, how durable are they/how many miles do they last? Lastly, I was wondering whether or not spikes on the xc-5's are removable. If so, I could also use them as "flats" for rougher courses, right? Thank you!
If you can, get the Dragonflies. You'll be at a disadvantage without them.
I'm on a bit of a budget, and I do not know if I could use those for cross country spikes and flats as well. Thanks for the response.
Cant go wrong with the xc 5, you can use them on the roads(take out the pins). You can use them on any xc course an indoor and outdoor, but try them first they're an extremely narrow shoe in the midfoot
If I take out the spikes, is there a hole left in them to collect mud, grass, debris?
Yes there will be but you can get “blanks” spikes that will screw into the hole and prevent mud from getting in there.
