Do those of you who use "trail runners" use crampons with them? I know you can use Microspikes, but Im talking about needing to occasionally use front pointing to climb steep icy trails where microspikes just dont cut it.
Also those heavy boots are an inexpensive way to get your feet warm- usually rated between -25 to -40 (200gms-400grms thinsulate).
So what temps do those using trail runners use them in?
– yes I have read the BPL article on winter footwear, but the article seems to be relevant mostly to flat-rolling terrain and not steep, icy, below zero trails.
