Details:

Built for the experienced distance runner, the New Balance XC5K takes inspiration from its track spike sibling, the LD5000. The XC5K features a more rugged design for added protection and durability on a variety of cross-country course surfaces.

What You'll Love

• Thin midsole that is light and responsive
• Bootie construction
• Durable outsole

The New Balance LD5K v5 offers a lightweight, thin layer of foam that provides just enough cushion to protect runners while racing on a variety of surfaces. Embedded into the midsole, a forefoot plate adds further protection and a springier ride that feels fast and efficient. The XC5K's outsole features multidirectional spikey rubber teeth that work with the five spike pins. This advanced cross-country spike is finished off with a revamped upper that provides a custom and durable fit. If you're looking to chase down new PB's and lead your varsity to a championship this cross country season, grab a pair of New Balance XC5K v5's.
