I bought my daughter a pair of cross country shoes here and got a good deal. Keep checking back their inventory changes often.

thanks babybear! my little brother is also in XC and he even came in FIRST at a big meet a few weeks ago!! I am always so proud of him. I know he talks about spikes? sometimes for his shoes too, but this is a great gift idea I wouldnt have thought of without this thread! Thanks!

My daughter ran XC and she had trouble with her knees hurting so we took her to a running store and she ran on the treadmill to see how her feet hit when she ran. She over pronates her feet. Once they know how you run, they can reccommend shoes that help with that. Once we bought the type of shoes for her feet she never had any more problems. Well other than "it wasnt fun anymore and my friends arent in it" LOL

I agree with bripoe. Take him to a running store and have him evaluated before buying him shoes. It's very important that he have the right shoes to avoid injury.
