In a typical CC season, most races are on road, dirt, gravel or grass.
However, there's always one race we go to that has some steep hills, single track trails and slippery slopes.
I still want the nimbleness and propulsion of a racing flat, but I don't know if I would survive while slipping around in some of the options available.
What are some durable/grippy short distance racing flats that could survive such a race?
Saucony Kilkenny XC flats. The pair I have is marvelous in dusty trail, slightly muddy trail, and grass. The grip in these conditions is insanely good.
There is a drawback, though. I almost slipped on wet concrete in the middle of a race, so be careful.
My second choice would be Adidas Takumi Sen. They’re not as grippy as the Kilkennys on trails and grass, but they’re the best choice to hit the trails with( out of my collection of road racing flats ). The Takumi Sens do really well on any paved surfaces.
If the trail is really dusty and technical, I would personally choose the Takumi Sens, because I prefer a little bit of slide when descending hills.
