Yah. I have Solomon Snowspike
If you wanted shoes with spikes, I'd have said the Salomon Wintercross Spike, but if you're going to use microspikes, then maybe the S/Lab Genesis Spine would give the same protection of the Wintercross but with a regular sole
I would probabl do something like Solomon spike cross. They make both with and without the gator. But they're kind of heavy. I have them without the gator [https://www.backcountry.com/b/salomon-winter-cross-spike-shoe?CMP\_SKU=SALZABJ&MER=0406&skid=SALZABJ-BLFICOSAYE-US55UK50&srsltid=AfmBOopQC8LstidVnh2efEUX9Yh-ZSLEf\_lBOYa194bd1MMGjtFp0v7WDNU](https://www.backcountry.com/b/salomon-winter-cross-spike-shoe?CMP_SKU=SALZABJ&MER=0406&skid=SALZABJ-BLFICOSAYE-US55UK50&srsltid=AfmBOopQC8LstidVnh2efEUX9Yh-ZSLEf_lBOYa194bd1MMGjtFp0v7WDNU)

I've used these for Colorado winters and they're pretty good. Mine are a bit older and have less padding, but these look improved.
I used Hoka Mafates for my winter running. They grip well in snow and ice. For more extreme weather.I have a pair of Salomon Spike Cross shoes
