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.
