Asics GEL-Arctic WR
$90.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Very comfortable toebox, offers more room to flex than competitors. Great traction on snowy/icy roads, very noticeable improvement over standard running shoes. Windproof outsole helps to keep feet warm.
The Cons:Spikes susceptible to damage if used for too long on asphalt. Clicking sound on asphalt (due to snow studs) can become annoying. Included laces are somewhat short, especially when using all the holes.
