In no particular order
- SpeedGoat GTX Spike
- Screwshoes
- Kahtoola spikes
Spikes work better than screws. But screws are the cheapest solution. I get bruises from the exospikes. But that seems to be the exception. Something about their fit and pressure from the straps on my toes.
I love my SpeedGoat 6s. My favorite trail running shoe.
Edit:
To add some detail, I prefer the six over the five. Regarding other shoes I like the torrent three and Clifton nine as well. The speed goats sit at 300 miles and are going strong.
Hope that helps.
Icebugs are high quality and durable. Also had Hoka Speedgoat Spike and was happy, particularly with how the foot is protected from the spike pressure.
North of Sweden here, so winters = thick layer of ice and snow on pretty much all roads, paths and trails.
I use Speedgoat GTX spike, the ones with metal spikes. Works a charm, and I never have to worry about slipping.
I reckon pretty much all makes has at least one winter shoe on offer, so you can use whatever you're used to but with winter outsoles.
I wear Hoka Speedgoat Spikes (the 5, GTX) and they’re a game changer for me! Love being able to run in such a wide range of conditions, whether it’s icy city streets or light mountain running.
It's a tough one, where I live you pretty much need to have both.
I often use my speedgoats 5 gtx for short and quick hikes in the forest, without goretex they will be completely soaked.
In summer time/dry times I use my speedgoats 5 without goretex.
If you are only running with them, don't mind getting wet and they dry for the next time you use them, there is no real reason for goretex.
If you plan on using them on both trail and in town because you only want to deal with one pair, then it's a easy trail running decision.
Speedgoats are awesome. I had the 4s, have a regular pair of the 5s and a gtx pair of the 5s.
I love them.
From the pictures online, it seems like a pretty easy terrain for speedgoats 7 without gtx.

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