I've been running in these shoes for about a month now and am quite happy with them. I live in Alaska where we have snow a good five months out of the year, so I'm always looking for a way to gain traction in slippery/snowy conditions. The tread pattern and metal spikes work perfectly on ice and snow that has been compacted. I'm able to give a strong kickoff and get some speed work in very effectively. Because the traction is built into the shoe the sole stays nice and flat - there is no deformation of the sole like I've experienced wearing pull-on traction systems.I wouldn't necessarily get as excited about these as winter trail shoes. While they are very warm (they have done great in -20f for 2 hours) and quite stable, they don't offer much improvement in traction on trails over other Salomon trail shoes when snow is loose or loosely compacted. I'm not sure expecting super traction on thee sorts of trails is realistic anyway. The bottom line with these shoes is that the more compact the trail surface, the more traction you will get, and it will be more traction than most running shoes can offer.I'd recommend these to a friend as they are great shoes, sturdy, warm, and stable.There are a couple of areas their design can be improved.1. The fastener for the speed-laces has a tendency to loosen if you are wearing snow gaiters and climbing steeper trails.2. There is no accommodation at the front of the shoe for gaiters to hook into.3. I'd love for the metal studs to be replaceable. These shoes are well made, and running in the snow won't wear the rubber very quickly. I can see the studs might be the fastest thing to wear, especially when running on icy/snowy roads that have been graveled.

As a Wisconsin runner, winter running can sometimes be a challenge. These shoes are warm and provide excellent traction on icy and packed snow covered paths. They fit snug so maybe go up a size from your normal running shoes especially if you use thicker socks in the winter.

I had the low-cut version of this shoe. Its outstanding. It fits like a sock, easy on/off, stays on your foot, extremely comfortable, etc. One of the best shoes I have ever owned. However, Salomon's warranty is extremely concerning.Salomon will not provide warranty coverage on an obvious factory defect, which is why i give a low score. I have a shoe that Salomon mislabeled with the wrong shoe size. Thus, I have shoes labeled Size 11, but one is actually Size 10.5 and 1/2 inch shorter than the other shoe. I am dumbfounded that Salomon won't fix this obvious factory error on a $130 shoe.
