Buy the best winter running shoe

It is different to run in winter than in other seasons, especially if you run in a place full of ice or snow. Always look for winter running shoes that offer motion control & superior traction to avoid slipping. It is an added advantage if the shoes are also waterproof. Also, look for winter running shoes with arch & ankle support--just like in a normal running shoe. The Runner's World magazine recommends the Nike Cesium 2 running shoe for winter runs. This shoe provides motion control that makes runs safer. Runner's World also recommends the Ryka MC2 because of its simultaneous flexibility & support. According to the Trail Running Soul website, the Pearl Izumi Syncroseek III WRX is considered to be the best winter running shoes.

 

Common drawbacks

Most cities clear roads & tracks in the winter season, providing a somewhat smooth surface to run on. There is no need to take shoes with spikes or cleats for running. A winter running shoe that offers superior traction is enough here. Shoes that are not waterproof likely will cause runs that end in soaked feet, so try to buy shoes with this feature.

 

Where to buy the winter running shoe

Buy winter running shoes from the same store where you buy your regular running shoes. You can buy them directly from the manufacturing farm, or from an athletic shoe store. Some online shoe store could a try for you. Foot Locker offers many high quality brands for all-season running shoe. REI also offers a wide variety of shoe brands including Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Pearl Izumi & Ryka.

How much you should pay

Expect to pay at least 100 USD for a quality winter running shoe. The features of accessories necessary to provide a safe winter running will drive up the cost of the shoe. You may also find shoes for less at some discount stores.
