Midsole came apart in 2nd race of the season

Midsole completely came apart in the 2nd race of the season. Would not give a refund because it was classified as “normal wear”

We purchased these in August and my son ran three high school XC races. After that third race the holdings for the spikes became severely bent to where you couldn’t get the spike out. It’s the same issue described in another review on this site. There are others on his team having the same issue with their new Dragonfly 2. We had zero issues with his Track Dragonfly’s.

Great spikes I personally had no problem with them beside maybe the upper but they've helped me break PR's my season. Overall great shoe.

Manufacturing Defect: Spike housing

The entire HS team bought these. Every runner is now exchanging at various retailers (return within 30 days). The spike housings bent in every pair after 1-2 races. The specific housings on ball of foot and outside of foot are weak and compromised. We are scrambling to find 15 pairs of compatible size shoes before next race. This never happened with Dragonfly 1.

XC 2s is such an upgrade!! I currently race on gravel and sand and overall they work great, the zoomX foam and the updated plate makes this shoe bouncy and snappy, one complaint I have of the rubber durability but it makes sense that it was make for limited gravel and concrete/sand but a 9/10.

Great CC Shoe

My son wears these for HS CC. Great Shoes! They are lightweight, bouncy, and provide the right amount of cushion for races. He could not stop talking about them after his first race.

Like the upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I owned the Dragonfly 1 and my only complaint was that it didn't have enough support for true cross-country racing. The second model fixed that, and while it is a little heavy, everything feels necessary and the materials are durable and effectively used.
