Which Flats for the 3200m?

So I am a high school runner going into my sophmore year. I wore my xc flats (Saucony Havok XC2) for the 3200m freshman year and they were great. I have also used them for my Sophmore xc season and again they were great. But I want a flat with less flexibilty and more of a pop. If the Havoks had a nice plastic spike plate under the rubber sole, they would be perfect. I am just asking for recommendations for a stiffer flat for the 3200m and xc. I am not looking for a distance spike as I already have Mambas for my 800/1600 and dont want to purchase another spike. I have looked into the New Balance xc5k v5 and just running them without the spikes screwed in. Just any input is fine.

Reebok Floatride Runfast Pro

Vaporfly or a competitor.

NB FuelCell 5280

I dont want to spend over $125 for shoes. The reebox's are $250 and the vaporflys are also really expensive. I'm looking for a cross country flat that is also great for the track. I thank you for replying but i am not looking for road flats

Nike Zoom Streak LT 4

/thread

The Nike Zoom Streak LT works pretty well for me and you can pick it up for well under $100 on running warehouse

LT4.

hands down

NB Hanzo, Takumi Sen, LT4

Repeating what others have said but lt4's are a great cross country flat, have good grip on grass and are really light. Why wouldnt you just wear mambas for 3200 though?

Yes, this exactly. I don't understand.

Aren't the Mambas designed for 3000 steeple? Should be perfect for 3200.
