Good afternoon.
I discovered for myself "winter running shoes" a couple of years ago. For several years of my sports career I had been having the contract with a well-known manufacturer of sports gear and clothing from Japan. That's why all running shoes I wore were designed for summer time only. Taking into consideration my training schedule I seldom ran in winter so there was no need to buy special running shoes.
But the moment has come...
And I'll tell you that winter shoes are a far cry from summer ones. What do I mean? Only running shoes with a good tread I can call winter shoes. The tread is what gives you a unique feeling of comfort and sense of security in running on the snow in comparison with summer models.
Besides, if you choose membrane models, your legs will be kept warm and dry in rainy weather. Therefore, all trail running shoes can be considered as winter ones. I'm sure your feet won't freeze during running even if you wear summer models so you shouldn't worry about it.
Good afternoon, Oleg Sergeevich.
Thank you so much for helping beginners.
I'd like to know which running shoes (or other shoes) are suitable for training (not running but walking at a brisk pace) in sub-zero weather?
Good afternoon, Oleg.
Please, recommend me winter running gear (materials, how many layers etc.).
I'd like also to get some recommendations on cold weather running.
Thank you in advance!
My child is 10 years old; he runs on an indoor track. In summer I’m gonna bring him with me for outdoor running through the city.
Should I buy special running shoes for him, with more sufficient cushioning, for instance, as I run on concrete surfaces mainly?
Good afternoon.
Tell me, please, what running shoes I should choose to run a marathon?
Should a size of running shoes be more than a size of my regular shoes?
Good afternoon.
