Rocky 50k in Huntsville, TX on Saturday. I was planning to run in MtC H1. Now it looks like it's going to rain and I'm considering the Adidas Terrex Agravic 3, my only other trail shoe and the only one with real lugs (4mm inner, 5mm outer). The H1's have little 2mm lugs.
I have a couple hundred miles in the latter, but only one 15mi run in the Adidas (Pentland Hills in Scotland). They've been sitting unused since. I'm wondering if I should go with the longer lugs for potentially wet ground on those piney woods trails.
It's a rock solid (haha) allrounder, excellent value. My wide feet feel good in my normal size.
For running in snow (if for a longer run) I use waterproof socks and they fit with my normal running shoe size in the Agravic 3, albeit a bit snug.
I'm pretty into the Adidas Agravic range at the moment. Haven't tried the new ones but I have the Agravic 3 and Agravic Speed, which are both very nice in their own respective ways. The Agravic 3 is very versatile and quite relatively cushioned but still nimble.
The answer for me has been trail shoes, I live at about 800m and sometimes get a lot of snow. Just try and dress accordingly but not excessively, if it’s 0 degrees I have a long sleeve and put a t shirt on top (yeah I know it’s weird but I like it), tights from decathlon(just regular, not the warm kind), some longer socks, gloves, a light bonnet and a something around the neck. If it’s below-5 then I get a warmer running jacket, I got one from asics a while ago that’s been great, only bought it because it was wayyy cheaper, you can unzip it if it gets to hot, even has 2 zippers in the back that you can open for air circulation. But there are many brands. If it’s raining heavily but not as cold just take a cap and a water proof jacket. Oh and I’m running in trail shoes when there’s snow, be it in the pavement or forest, I use some Nike Pegasus trail versions, and adidas Agravic 3, or even the mafate 5 if it’s really bad. Your feet will get wet, but just consider it to be part of your training, you never know how the weather is going to be like when a race arrives.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
