Th...Hank - I had never heard of the IceBugs before. They look pretty cool. Thanks for the tip! And yes, the hobnail/metal screws route is popular. I still haven't tried either one.<br /><br />Kovas - Awesome! I like them because they provide "right out the door" running in bad weather. Hope you have fun!<br /><br />Paige - I know a few locals who put the screws in their shoes and swear by it. And you definitely live in a cold enough location to benefit from GTX. Get on it!<br /><br />Dude - Thanks. Yeah, in places like that snow is exciting. Not usually a barrier to running though. Good luck with pushing the relocation! ;)<br /><br />Stuart - Oh, one of thoooose! ;) Definitely good for making turns and riding the steep and deep though!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-57848176045436431822010-11-24T13:17:02.261-08:002010-11-24T13:17:02.261-08:00Great post...not much difference between Summer an...Great post...not much difference between Summer and Winter round here, but when I do hit the white stuff it's always with my Snowboarding Boots...yes I am one of them!Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841289199998319545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-37244861059350339002010-11-24T11:37:59.523-08:002010-11-24T11:37:59.523-08:00Wow.

Nice post, but when we get snow in Memphis (and never until january), it is gone within 24 hours, so there isn't much need to consider footwear options just for snow. If I get my way in the future and I end up moving where there is much much more snow, then I know where to go before getting any new shoes!

Otherwise, I love my regular ol' Wildcats with windproof/waterproof socks (the wind cuts right through those suckers...guess I should consider the GTX version!) on wetter snow days.

A little heavy, but they keep you upright, and the carbide spikes never seem to wear out. Folks love their La Sportiva hobnail kits, too.
