Saucony Men's Kilkenny XC5 Flat Cross Country Racing Shoe, 12 M US, Green/Citron

We ordered this product Aug 21, as of Sept 5 this is still in transit from Salt Lake where they have been the last week. I don't understand the delay as I live only 30 miles from Salt Lake City. This has been very frustrating to my son who has had to race twice without them.

Saucony really nailed it with the styling on the new Havoks! I really liked last year's pink/orange/red or whatever color it was I've heard people call it all 3 but that's besides the point. I got mine in what I'm going to call "British racing green" because that's what it reminds me of. These shoes are VERY comfortable don't get me wrong, but beware if you are a guy who doesn't wear socks with your spikes. Naturally you would want to wear your spikes tight to avoid losing them in a race but the first time out in mine I ran a 5k and in that short distance the skin on the back of my right heel was completely worn off and it was very painful. My left shoe wasn't quite as tight and I had no problems with my left foot. The only other complaint I have is that the sole is maybe a little too on the soft side, as there were a few occasions where I could feel small rocks and roots stabbing at the bottom of my feet, but that really isn't a big deal. Otherwise, I really like these spikes and even though they are "heavier" than the last model they actually feel lighter and more responsive so they are great spikes and I still highly recommend them.
