Our verdict
The Havok XC 3 from Saucony is a cross-country spike that tackles any terrain that's thrown James way during that competition. In this respect, it's a certified star. Even better, it's fast and ready to set new records. Many might consider it "reasonably priced." But experts say if you want the same versatile traction but for less, go for the Saucony Kilkenny XC8 instead.

Wreak havoc on the competition
There are three things that make the Saucony Havoc XC 3 a force to be reckoned with in the race—traction, lightness, and snappiness.
With the shoe's arrow-shaped outsole design, it bites its way through any terrain. Thanks to its flexible spike plate, the shoe creates a spring-like effect that pushes the runner forward.
All these features are loaded in an extremely light package. This makes the Havoc XC 3 a full-fledged speedster.
