Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Perfect for runners who spend the bulk of their time training off-road, this sleek trail running shoe is designed specially for winter weather and damp, rainy conditions. The durable nylon upper is constructed with a water-resistant and breathable upper with a padded collar for added support, ghillie lacing system for adjustability, and toe and heel reinforcements for protection against bumps and abrasions. The mesh lining keeps feet cool and dry, while the sole, made with a special rubber compound with 16 integrated steel studs, adapts to the ground asurface and provides the right amount of traction.

From the Manufacturer

Being from Sweden, IceBugs knows more than they might want to admit about winter. Not only the postcard pretty, snowy landscape type, but anything from -25C, over slush to the modern city version of +5C with the rain blowing hard into your face and the streets flooding.The real icebugs survive by creating an anti-freeze protein in their bodily fluids. We humans can’t resort to that. But warm, dry feet and outstanding traction are good for staying mobile and increasing the chances of making it through, even keeping the spirits up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Used shoe for Orienteering, June 15, 2010

This review is from: Icebug Men's Sisu Olx Trail Running Shoe (Apparel)

Basically I like the shoes but they are wide. I've thought about getting a womens shoe next time thinking they would be narrower but haven't done that yet. When I'm orienteering I wear active ankles too so the extra width helps with that.

so far I have used them for 2 trail races and 5 orienteering sessions (3 when the woods were soaking wet). They are more comfortable than my VJ's and seem to be holding up fine. They have the little steel studs in the rubber cleat including one stud right under the arch that helps when steping on those wet, slippery logs.

They couldn't get traction one time going up a particularily steep bank in the rain but my VJ's might have had the same problem. Just had to switch to a bit of a diagional incline instead of going straight up.

I would probably give the shoe 5 stars except for the wide feel.
