Winters where I live can be hard, but my disdain for the treadmill generally keeps me outside unless conditions get really bad. This winter started off pretty tame up here in Nike Air Max 90 Heren New Hampshire. We had cold, Nike Air Max 90 Mujer Negras but not much snow through early January, and I was able to use road shoes for most of my runs. Sidewalks started to ice over a bit in January, and we had a few light snow storms, which made running outside in road shoes a bit more of a challenge. And over the past couple of weeks we’ve been hammered by multiple storms and roads and sidewalks near my home are now virtually impassable.
For the most part, I can get by with a decent pair of lugged trail shoes for most winter running conditions. They handle crusty ice well, and deeper snow generally means I’ll opt to snowshoe rather than run unless the sidewalks have been cleared (roads near my house are too dangerous when bordered by big snow banks). However, there are times when the roads/sidewalks are covered by smooth ice and/or a thin layer of snow and adding www.rockstarbodies.co.uk some additional traction Nike Air Presto Mujer is helpful (e.g., such as when my street looks like the photo below taken this morning…).The road in front of my house right now…
Over the past two winters I’ve tried out three different running traction devices: Stabilicers, Kahtoola Nanospikes, and YakTrax Run Cleats. None are perfect, but all do the job in a pinch. I thought I’d share some thoughts on the pros and cons of each to help you make a purchasing decision should you need a traction device for your winter runs.
I’ll start by saying that all 3 devices provide decent traction on light snow and ice, and so in that sense they all do the job they were built for. However, don’t expect these to be a replacement for snow shoes in deeper snow as the metal spikes/lugs on all three are short and will not reach the ground on deeper snow that is packed down Nike Air Max 1 Mujer by the feet.On the down Nike Air Max Tavas Dames side, I found the Stabilicers Nike Air Max 90 Dames Zwart to be the most difficult of the three to get on my feet, and the sizing seems to be a bit off as I really had to stretch them out to get the heel to fit over the back of my shoe. I still feel like the heel lugs were a bit too far forward. They are also a tad narrow in the forefoot and really had to wiggle them onto my Nike Wildhorse II trail shoes. Don’t try these with an Altra! I have them in a size Medium which is supposed to cover up to a 10.5 shoe size, but they did feel small on my 10.5 shoe. Being a borderline size is sometimes a challenge, and I’d suggest that you consider sizing up if you are borderline between two sizes.
