Shoes for Cross Country?

Question

I am an experienced runner who is joining cross country in the fall. What kind of shoes do I need to get? I need some kind of spikes, right?

Answer 1

yes, you should get spikes, they really help with traction and are very lightweight, they give you an overall advantage.

Answer 2

You need a good pair of training shoes---a local store shouled be able to pick a pair out with you to help with any pronation or specifics you need.  Also, a pair of spikes for race days is a big help and really essential if you want to be more successful.  Find pairs that are comfortable.  Everyone likes their own brand and style.  Good luck!!
