I tried my Moc3s during the last snow here. Huge fail. The snow was so dry snd powdery, and since Mocs have no deep traction, it was over in two steps. Your snow must be different.
Nope, I actually like no traction. Too much traction and that means thicker sole and no "snow-feel." hah
Anyways, we have all kinds of snow because we have all kinds of temperature and lots of wetness from the big lake. Slippery powder, icy sleety mess, everything in between. Winters are so fun to drive in here. BLECH
Lots of times when it's almost pure ice. If I stop the run and take a few walking steps, I fall all over. If I go up a steep hill, I can't get much of a grip, but for the most part, runnign without traction is my parlor trick. I am sure my gait/form aint worth a dime, much less braggin about, so I dunno.
Now, given several inches of deep, ridged, unplowed, driven-upon snow, well that is the worst and no amount of traction makes that better. The choices there are curse and run or just turn back.
The most traction I ever run with is in my regular soft stars, but I use those when it's super wet and I don't want soaking feet (but damp is ok), not for grip.
Or maybe it's because you run a lot on trails? Traction seems more important then.....
Also, I thought that was a "thing" with minimal running, that you don't need traction anymore? That you magically never slip? Did I make that up?
OH, no, now it's going to be like when the cartoon character realizes he's still running but off a cliff and can't keep up the magic anymore and physics fails him.
Thanks, Jen, now I'll be sliding all over the place.
