cross country spike opinion

Like it matters? Oh, I am sure wearing the Lanangs versus the Kennedy XC is going to make at least a 1:30 difference in a 8k. Assclown...

Your right, I just wanted some opinions. I should have known better though to come to a running website to ask a question about running.

A 1:30 difference in an 8k? I didn't imply this at all. I also said jasaris not kennedy's xc.

Either way, I hope it made your day giving me this valuable information. Oh, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be calling me an "ass clown" to my face.

You are right, I am scared now. Please don't beat me up.

I would go with the steeple spikes, just because I run the steeple in the spring.

FlameBait,

When is the last time you called anyone an Ass Clown to their face?

This morning, when I called your mom that.

i know i wear just the kennedy's for cross, they seem to work well for me.I will be getting the lanangs soon, i am a steepler, im going to try them out to see what they're like. but i do recommend the Zoom Kennedy, Puma Harambee, and the Adistar Ld. they've all done me good.

I would hesitate to wear steeple spikes for XC because the mesh uppers tear more easily. If the course is rocky, muddy, or has lots of twigs, you might slice up an expensive shoe. And if it's cold, I'd rather have a little more material to keep my feet warm.

you know, the Jasari had/has permanently mounted spikes, so you can put on the 1/2'' on muddy days. really seems like those would not be good XC shoes - slippery bottom on wet surfaces. stick to something built for cross.

Thanks for the opinions, they are much appreciated.
