NewRun is the first real road running shoe from Icebug and it aims at all those that want to keep logging miles all year long. Why deviate from (or cancel!) the regular workout routine only because conditions got wintry? High comfort has been in focus when developing this shoe and then a waterproof GORE-TEX® upper crowned with the BOA® Fit System were obvious features to add. Low temperatures don’t go well with a narrow fit so the last has a roomy toe box and a straight toe line. The sole is well cushioned and its wide base both stability and long distance comfort are achieved. BUGrip outsole with dynamic steel studs makes running on icy surfaces feel like a walk in a park.

With the experience of one season, the grip is enough, if only the length of the stud is enough for something solid enough. The sole is a bit too flexible, so the pressure of the rear end of the studs is felt on the soles of the feet if the surface is bare or on hard ice.

Miss. I was looking for a shoe that doesn't have support structures, and this one felt like one in the store. Apparently, however, the sole has a really strong pronation support at the arch of the foot, which personally causes the foot to hurt when running. The good thing about these is the tightening system, enough space for the toes and grip. Well suited for snow work and walking, but they are a bit expensive for that kind of activity.

Comfortable and reliable even in challenging conditions such as frozen slopes and uneven forest paths. The lacing system holds the shoe firmly in place and makes removing or putting on the shoe much faster.
