Winter is the season of excuses. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t have one at this time of the year, especially as relates to running. And when the sidewalks are covered in that week old, packed down snow that’s more like ice, it’s incredibly easy to rationalize watching the rest of the episodes on your 30 Rock DVD instead of hitting the road for a run.
That’s why I like La Sportiva’s new Hobnail kit. After about 10 minutes, I turned these ASICS Trabucos into a pair of no-slip ice cleats that are actually still enjoyable to run on. Yes, you feel a little like a duffer running along in golf cleats, especially on roads. But the grip is fantastic. You could run across an ice rink and stop on a dime. And they feel natural underfoot.
