Cross Country Running Shoes

Seeing as we are stuck in the center of winter, I have planned to talk about the topic of the type of shoes to put on during running in extreme conditions we outdoor runners have encountered at this season of the year. For those people who are living in a place much less colder… I think it’s recommended to try out the weather in the North during this season to enjoy the environment it brings.

After living my life here in Colorado, I have faced most likely every potential combo of this type of weather while running.  With winter running shoes being less supported by manufacturers, the best possible of winter running shoes I have acquired are Gore-tex trail winter running shoes. These winter running shoes put a lot of effort more than the average shoes, for a few reasons. Initially, these winter running shoes are good against the wind, which is a big benefit over those other well-vented shoes for running that we use most of the other seasons. For second, these winter running shoes are water resistant, unless you place your shoes in very deep puddle. The combination of these two factors is what makes them better winter running shoes. It creates a warm environment inside. I have both these shoes in two pairs in case they ever wear down, but they are made by two different brands which are New Balance and Asics.

These two winter running shoes work fine, but those two pairs have both the same negative distinctiveness. These shoes are both more rigid and more weighty than most regular winter running shoes. I frequently buy these winter running shoes at one size larger to make sure I can fit them with my wool socks for running during the winter. With those socks, it makes them heavier. Since I can’t change the way they weigh, I have decided to make my winter running shoes more elastic in the forefoot, so that I can prevent plantar fasciitis. I cut the grooves of those trail shoes to allow for enough flexibility because most trail running shoes are bulky. Start cutting with the shallow grooves and then go further if you need it to go more deep.
