Description
Welcome the newest member of the Altra family, the XC Golden Spike, bearing the same name as the celebrated transcontinental railroad landmark of northern Utah. The Golden Spike is a celebration and tribute to the sport and history of XC running. A 5-pin spike plate lets you experience optimal grip on the course, while a convenient sockless design and hydrophobic mesh allow air to flow and keeps moisture low. And don't settle for the XC spike that "hurts the least" -- ditch the cramped, tight XC spikes of the past and embrace a revolutionary new spike with FootShape comfort for extra toe splay and enhanced performance, so you can comfortably leave the competition in your dust.
**We are a Fit4Her company but this shoe is built on a very particular race last which does not lend itself to a female specific design. It is made to fit snuggly on a variety of foot types for optimum performance. Women, when ordering unisex sized shoes please order 1.5 sizes smaller than your normal women’s size.
