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.

Running Shoes and Insoles For Flat Feet
Question:

Good afternoon, Oleg Sergeevich.

I have longitudinal flat feet, II grade. Usually, the doctors, of course, think I'm crazy because I run with a flat feet. But I know many people with the same diagnosis who run like me and don't have any problems.

I have two questions:

  1. Should I buy special running shoes which are considered as shoes for runners with hyperpronation? My experience tells me that such running shoes don't differ significantly from ones for neutral pronation.
  2. Where can I order insoles which could be used instead of usual insoles of running shoes in order to reduce potential harmful impact of running with flat feet?

Thank you!
