Studded sneakers that do their job. I bought these especially for the cold season as running shoes, because these are not gore-tex or anything. I have run in these at their coldest -15 - -20 degrees with slightly thicker socks and my feet stayed warm. A competitive brand, cf. Icebug.| Overall rating |
Excellent running, light for winter. Good studs.
Previously, Salomon's winter studs were Spikecross, which had a more spike-like stud shape (here more star-like) and the front of the shoe was even further forward than the front, which is why the model seems to bite better on completely icy surfaces. On the other hand, the Icehero 2 grip is a little slower - letting the foot slip a little. Eventually it bites enough. Once you learn this and trust it, you'll do well. I think it works best on relatively flat winter sand roads, which are partly icy, partly melted. Pretty good on winter asphalt too. The size and feel are roughly the same as the summer model VJ Maxx 2.
