Ok, can't do bare feet in the winter! I have a pair of Vivo Neo Trails, but this year they hurt my feet! They are the biggest ones Vivo makes. Looking more for traction! Any recommendations? Thanks!
From a grip point of view the EL-X is near perfect for winter use, but the upper is a little mroe tight on my foot than I like for running.
I run thorughout the winter in either the seeyas or the spyridon,works for me down to -25C, colder than that and I begin considering a closed toebox.
The seeyas for anything up to light technical trails, on the nordic skiing trails and snowmobile trails the sypridon is optimal as, the seeya tend to slip off.
i ran with my lontras today. they kept my feet warm w/out socks. toes were cold at first but warmed up in 1/2 hr. they don't have enough grip in ice as i had a spill just after warning someone that going up the hill was icy. i'm fine btw since i know you were so concerned.
Too bad they hurt your feet Bill. I've been pretty happy with my Neo Trails. Great for fresh snow, not so good for patches of dry surface though. They become too much shoe then. I like the Vapor Gloves for relatively dry conditions, Vivo Neos for mixed dry surfaces and compacted snow or ice, and the Neo Trails for fresh snow. But today I'm running bare in the slush and compacted snow for as long as I can take it. My soles are itching for some stimulation.Ok, can't do bare feet in the winter!

I have a lot of friends and colleagues whom would readily support that theoryY
You sir are likely from a different planet! I got frost bite just reading your post! Can't do more than -5C in any VFF's!(
I find the el-x is a near perfect arctic winter boot for day to day stuff (used a bikila LS last season), They look a little out of place paired with an expedition parka though, but it works for me
If that's a Canada Goose Expedition parka I understand how the el-x could work for you
Here you go
But yep, I think it looks good with the el-x
