Just because a shoe is durable, strong, and geared up to deal with harsh conditions, that does not mean that comfort should be compromised.
It is important for us to point out that these shoes feature quite a stiff cushion and so they may not be suitable for people who like something a little more bouncy.
However, for the type of terrain you will be running on, this firm cushioning is likely to be beneficial.
Another key feature of the Snowspike, in terms of comfort, is that they have a very easy to wear lacing system. Once tied, the laces do not bundle up behind the gaiter, reducing the risk of irritation while running.
