4.0 out of 5 stars
Great winter trail shoe, but overkill in town, December 13, 2010
Roomy toe-box (room for thick wool sox), gusseted tongue and a "waterproof" membrane means these shoes are just the ticket for snowy, icy trails. I'm one of those folks whose feet tend to get cold. So as sort of a masochistic test, I paired these shoes with some short gaiters and slogged my way up the trail on our nearby mountain when it was 3 degrees fahrenheit, blowing hard, and the snow was almost a foot deep. I thought my feet would freeze for sure, but... they didn't even get cold! These then, have become my icy, snowy, trail shoes of choice.
For running on sidewalks though, when the patches of ice are infrequent, these are sort of like running in little crampons. The sound on concrete is like little carbide fingernails being pulled across a chalkboard. For in-town winter jogging, these are overkill in my book.
