Spikes are offset (not parallel) to improve walkability

The rubber outsole allows for great wet traction, improved forgiveness over the plastic soles that are on common XC shoes. If you’ve ever had to walk up rocks with clipless shoes you know the benefit this new outsole can provide. They also offset the spikes to help with walking / hiking.
