A couple weeks ago the Spring Thaw finally arrived and after a couple of good damp snowfalls and a few days of sun the trails.
This year our go to winter trail running shoes has been the Salomon Gore-tex Sense Rides and the Microspikes fit perfectly over them. We generally recommend to size down on the microspikes if your wearing a trail running shoe and for a hiking boot to stick with the size recommendations.
