Mě přijdu do českýho terénu kotníkovky jako přestřel a pokud nemáš v plánu se někde brodit sněhem, trailový úplně stačí. Do letoška jsem měla obyčejný galaxy trail od Adidasu, co tenkrát stály asi 1600 a vydržely několik sezón. IMHO postačí i něco z Decathlonu, stejně si to, jestli ti ten typ boty bude vyhovovat, musíš zkusit sám.
Spikes typically have very little cushion compared to trail running shoes, so it really depends on the trails you plan to run. But unless you’re trying to break some personal record, it’s kinda pointless. I have dragonfly XC spikes that I use for 5k’s but I never do any kind of crazy trails in them. One wrong step on a rock and it’s a sprained ankle. Not a big deal in a 5k with a ton of people around and medical nearby. But out running alone, yea it can potentially be a big problem. XC shoes are also going to wear out a lot faster, especially in the heel. I have 3 pairs of trail shoes I use if I go out alone. One pair of trail runners Adidas Terrex I picked up super cheap that I just use on flat dirt, and two pairs of hiking shoes, Columbia low tops and North Face high tops for rugged terrain that are both 5+ years old. I can honestly run fine in any of them, just not fast of course.
Same! I currently use Terrex trail runners for wet roads and I love it. These look like they would be right up my alley.
