Cross Country Spikes

When the ground gives way, your grip is everything.

Cross country spikes are made for chaos. Mud. Grass. Hills. Weather that doesn't care you've got a race to run. These shoes aren't about comfort-they're about confidence. Lightweight, low-profile, and dialled in for traction, they help you hold your line when the course is anything but smooth.

Expect aggressive spike plates with strategic lugs for bite and balance across soft or uneven terrain. Uppers are stripped back for speed, but still tough enough to take the hits from stray roots, soaked fields, or a bad line through the woods. Models like the Nike Zoom Rival XC or adidas XC Sprint keep things simple: minimal weight, maximum grip, and just enough cushioning to get you through without weighing you down.

Cross country isn't just a race-it's a mindset. And XC spikes are built for those who run headfirst into the mess, not away from it.

One pair down? Try ASICS running shoes, HOKA running shoes, or Nike running shoes next.
