This is what I have.

2 pairs of forevers- I use these for workouts on grass or workouts on the track.

1 pair of hyperspeeds- road races or tempo runs. sometimes for workouts.

1 pair of mayfly's- I bought these in high school for indoor meets. I have a lot of use left in them. I will get my money's worth sooner or later.

1 pair of the zoom victory- track races specifically. don't ever workout in them. 1500m/mile/3000m racing shoe.

1 pair of Ventulus 2's- racing shoe for the 5000m and big cross meets.

I think that I have a good reason for each spike. Maybe 2 forevers is kind of stupid, but the second pair I got because they were really cheap.

I also got my Vent 2's and mayfly's for about $20 a piece.

Excessive?

re: sdfsdfdfadfadf

I was just wondering if this was normal for somebody running XC, indoor, outdoor, and maybe a few road races?

theres plenty of people that are amazing at running that have less pairs of shoes and dont wear 20 different kinds of shoes to train in.

Its not excessive. Look at dyestats collection and who you run for thread. Id say most statters have 10+ pairs of spikes plus their flats. I have about 40 pairs of spikes and flats.
