re: Good shoe recommendation needed

Will he be doing most of his training runs on pavement, grass, or dirt?
My son's team does about 80% of their miles on pavement, with the remaining 20% on the track or grass. I also know that 95% of his the miles he runs in meets will be on grass. So I bought him a nice pair of road shoes (Adidas SL20) and a pair of spikeless XC shoes for grass days and meets. You can routinely find these on sale for under $40.

Good post, most teams don't have great natural surfaces for practice and a road shoe/not too crazy trail is sufficient.
I also prefer no-spikes for races, though JR kids are just fine in their training shoes for races.
Fun aside - In last weekend's race for my daughter, the girl who came in 2nd lost one shoe about 200yds into the race. She scooped it up (had her chip on it) and ran the whole race with one shoe. That's pretty awesome.
