Track spikes are shorter.
XC spikes- more cushioning, rubber spike plate, more agressive sole for traction. tend to be heavier than track spikes.
track spikes- less cushioning (depending on distance), hard plastic spike plate, usually less agressive sole.
hope that helps
Thanks. I'm thinking of running a few track races and was thinking of purchasing track spikes instead of just using my Zoom XCs (with the appropriate length of spikes in).
