I figured the additional water resistance wasn't really an issue for me, because I was looking for a shoe for running at temperatures where the snow is really dry. And I've been impressed with how dry my feet stay in the Lithe Glove. So for me it was just a cost issue.

I love my NB Minimus Trails but they are way to cold to use in here in northern Quebec in the winter. <br /><br />I just noticed a Merrell shoe that looks interesting, though it is very expensive: Men's Barefoot Train Embark Glove GORE-TEX. Have you heard anything about this shoe?<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-10911473246657572432011-12-13T09:13:18.764-08:002011-12-13T09:13:18.764-08:00Good luck!

I've been pondering the perfect winter shoe and my conclusions are like yours: the perfect winter shoe doesn't exist or I haven't found it yet.<br /><br />So far, I've just put the insoles back in my Inov-8 Bare X-200 (my favorite shoe, awesome for the road)and wear wigwam socks. I'm going to look into some kind of waterproof socks, that may be the solution to my wet feet. I haven't hear of a shoe that has good snow traction and is waterproof. <br /><br />I guess we're too much of a niche market.Malvanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-53922535398018289172011-12-12T23:18:37.702-08:002011-12-12T23:18:37.702-08:00This sounds weird, but I used to put a plastic gro...This sounds weird, but I used to put a plastic grocery bag between two layers of socks as a waterproofing method when I went cross-country skiing. Not sure if it would work for your purposes (as it was a little slippy), but it might. I used something like a polypropylene sock liner, tall enough that there is no plastic against your ankle/leg, then the plastic bag, then a nice snug, heavy wool sock, then the shoe. It worked great, although my cousins gave me some odd looks when I was putting them on!Erin Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547233565807762202noreply@blogger.com
