Haven't had any snow since I took up running. Still use trail runners or do you switch to heavier footwear?

Didn't carry a Spyderco all week!! After titanium scales all week, this guy felt just about right this morning.

I've never felt the need to EDC a waved knife, but I'm starting to appreciate this one as a work knife. That's the one scenario where saving that second actually comes in handy. Also easier to wave this open than thumb open with oil / sweat soaked hands.



Now that I'm carrying it on a regular basis, I need to put my kind of edge on it!

That is a cool background! Egyptian hieroglyphs?

I tried the Wave at work and liked it for use in racks . Longer blade helped me open boxes just stretching instead of pulling stock in front to get to back . In production though investigating discrepancies in work centers some people were at times uncomfortable how it opened . I rotated knives in left pocket and for over two years carried the Salt DF in right pocket and used exclusively around people I did not know or knew individual was uncomfortable in the past .Spyderco Wave set up I think actually seems to work better than the original design .

Haven't had any snow since I took up running. Still use trail runners or do you switch to heavier footwear?

Trail runners, ALWAYS for running anyway, but even for a lot of winter hiking / mountainneering as long as I don´t need to attach actual crampons (does not work with trail runners) or the snow is really deep or there is much "stop" and less "go".

Concerning actual trail running in winter and snow: As said, always trail runners, even if temperatures drop to like minus 20 Celsius (= minus 4 Fahrenheit).
The key is: Keep moving, don´t stop for too long (like having a long rest). I think it operates on the same principle the mukluks of the Inuit do: Since the sole of the running shoes is very flexible (a lot more than the stiff soles of heavier boots), the blood circulation in the feet does not get restricted, but actually encouraged by the constant flexing of the feet. I never had real problems concerning the cold, unless I did not move for too long.
Sure, one has to know what they are doing: Should there be an emergency or another reason that keeps one from moving or one even has to sit around in cold and snow for some time: The feet will get severe frost damages, if it is really cold outside.

I use Goretex Salomon Speedcross then (actually for most of my mountaineering and running, regardless of the season).
While generally I prefer the discontinued Speedcross 4, in really cold temperatures and snow it´s the current Speedcross 5 I grab. Why? It is wider, so I can fit a bit thicker socks in there and the "studs" on the sole of the "5" are longer than on the 4 (in summer I prefer narrower shoes and not too long "studs").

If it gets icy I attach shoe spikes. For that I´d strongly recommend the Snowline chainsen light (THIS exact model, not "trail", "pro" or something else!) if you want to own only one pair. If two: Get the snowline chainsen trail additionally (the latter have shorter spikes and by that offer less grip and are less universally capable, but on occasions where one does not need a high amount of grip there are better to run on).
The good thing, perhaps even where you live and don´t have a lot of snow and ice: They work great on steep grassy or muddy hillsides, very steep slopes in the woods and so on. I use mine at least as often in summer as in winter.
