Screw Shoes: The Great Low-Tech Solution to Winter Running Struggles

Seeing lots of Front Range runners post about how rough it is running on snow and ice this month.

I feel you. I live at 7800 ft., and I have yet to go on a run outside in 2019 where I didn't have to plod through at least some snow and ice.

The only thing that allows me to keep running up here all year is screw shoes. Best thing about them, is that all you need to make them is an old pair of running shoes and about $2 worth of sheet metal screws. It takes me about ten minutes to make them, and I rank high among the least handy people I know.

So easy, a child could do it.

Don't take my word for it. Read about screw shoes from the great Matt Carpenter.
