Kilkenny XC 9 Spike Running Shoe - Women's

Built for competitive cross-country racing, the Kilkenny XC 9 is our top pick for athletes who need traction and speed when the course gets messy. A 4-pin spike plate digs into mud, grass, and packed dirt, while the zero-drop, compression-molded EVA platform keeps your turnover fast and your feet responsive from gun to tape.

• 4-pin spike plate delivers aggressive grip on mud, grass, and gravel — exactly what XC courses demand
• Compression-molded EVA midsole offers a firm, responsive ride with just enough cushion for race-day efforts
• Breathable mesh upper wraps the foot securely without adding unnecessary weight
• Zero-drop, 12mm stack height puts you low to the ground for natural stride mechanics and quick ground contact
• At 5.1 oz, it's one of the lightest XC spikes we carry — built for athletes who refuse to leave anything on the course
