Mtwarden, can I ask what you generally wear for these winter runs? Especially footwear...just lite trail runners? Gaiters? Shoes full of snow would suck me thinks. Thanks

Hi. When the temps are in the 20's+ I use my normal trail runners w/ light gaiters (Outdoor Research Stamina gaiters) AND thicker/taller wool socks- Darn Tough full cushion boot ones.
when the temps drop below 20 (or if it's particularly slushy) I use La Sportiva Crossovers- a goretex trail runner with built in gaiter. The Goretex membrane does a good job keeping your feet warmer. I find them too warm unless it's cold.
should mention that 95% of the time in the winter I'm microspikes as well- even on shiny glare ice, I can run- my pair has over 2000 miles on them and still going strong
