I wear my usual studded fell-running shoes in the snow - New Balance RX Terrains. Even wore them for a 10K road race once when there was a covering of snow, much to people's surprise. The studs shed snow or debris quite well, as do Walsh's. Done a bit of running in the forest round your way in winter, and along the canal, but never had difficulty keeping to the tracks.Ballibeg said:We've an inch of snow here so it seems reasonable to ask about running in it! Most of my routes are trail runs and the obvious things to me are slipperiness and inability to see the track. Any others? Dave

Depends how icy. Apart from X-Country spikes I don't think any shoes are really safe on solid ice. But on frozen snow I've found Walsh's about the best. They have a more pointed pyramidal stud that grips as good as anything will. Some years ago I ran the Eassains and Great Lochaber Traverse, when they were plastered with hard compacted snow, and didn't have any problems wearing Walsh's.calton1954 said:Runningfox, Do you find these type of shoes good in icy weather too ?
