The New Balance XC Seven v4 cross country flats are sleek and secure so you can focus on the race ahead instead of on your feet. Designed for the emerging runner preparing for the cross country season, the unisex New Balance XC Seven v4 lets you experience the speed and grip of an XC spike — a 6-pin spike plate and New Balance’s REVlite midsole underfoot give you cushioning and traction on demanding courses. Newly updated with bold colors that will stand out at the finish line, the upper of XC Seven v4 uses a traditional lacing, tongue and collar construction for a comfortable, reliable and secure fit. The New Balance XC Seven v4 combines the lightweight cushioning of elite racing shoes with a more traditional fit and extra protection that’s perfect for new racers setting their first PRs. Note: this is a unisex-sized shoe. Men's sizes are shown — women should order 1.5 sizes below their standard running shoe size. For example: for a women's size 9.5 shoe, order a size 8.
