Icebug - Arcus 2 RB9X GTX

I know I'm late to this, but no one else has mentioned IceBugs yet, so I'll throw in a rec for them. I have a pair for winter running and although they're absurdly expensive, they are really good. I used to live in a place that got *very* icy, and the general consensus was that IceBugs gave better grip on ice than screw shoes, however you can add screws to any shoes which you already own/like, so pros and cons to each. Winter is the only time I actually like goretex shoes, since I find that snow melts through my other shoes so quickly that I'd rather have my shoes be waterproof and I don't mind that the goretex isn't really breathable in that context, although that comes down to conditions and personal preference

Icebugs did not work for me, they were way too narrow.

I purchased ice bugs last year and really like them but in the past I had always just taken an older shoe (or sometimes a new one) and had skinny raven put in the studs for a few bucks.

I demo'd both at Skinny Raven last winter and the Hokas are really good if you like more bounce. Ice Bugs were great but they just weren't comfortable to me on icy cement

Icebugs are the best. And never wear out.

There are also studded running shoes from Salomon and Hoka, Spikecross and Speedgoat Spike respectively. I've got the Hokas, they're wider in the forefoot than my old Icebugs.

I ran in Icebugs for years and they worked great, although I never liked the fit; but my middle aged knees are much happier running on squishy Hokas. I don't mind sacrificing speed for comfort.
