For me, sport is like brushing my teeth. I don’t even think about it. I get up and Just do it. But that doesn’t mean it’s always a glorious experience. Indeed, being pregnant and working with a pre-school toddler while the New York winter rages makes it far from glorious when my alarm goes off at 4:30 am. What keeps me going through all of this is the guaranteed high at the end. In winter, however, the right footwear is essential.
It doesn’t matter if I’m running outdoors or just walking to an indoor workout, it’s imperative that my feet are comfortable, secure, and protected from the weather.
It all starts with an insole. CURREX makes a full set of job-specific insoles, including RunPro for running shoes, BikePro for cycling shoes, EdgePro for ski/snowboard shoes, etc. These are game-changers – especially if you have high arches, flat feet, etc. (they have insoles organized by activity, shoe, and movement). and a very high level of customization (different lasts, heights and stiffness to accommodate the user’s foot type, impact forces (weight) and gait). They will support you this winter and beyond.
As for the shoes themselves, you can’t beat On’s all-around “cloud-like” comfort. They have them for bad weather Cloudrunner Waterproof. Whether you’re just running (or walking) to the gym or outside on the sidewalk or even a trail, these shoes feel light and breathable, while keeping feet warm and cozy. They are also good for cross training, although they are designed for running. They have also a number of other waterproof styles.
When you speak to people who work at sneaker shops that specialize in performance/running, they often cite Brooks as their go-to place. This is especially true for those with knee or joint injuries looking for soft landings and protection. Ghost 14 GTX is a popular style that is also waterproof.
For outdoor hikes when it might get wet and muddy, checkout The Hoka Anacapa Mid GTX is waterproof. What is unique about this model is that it looks like a boot but feels like a lightweight shoe when you slip it on.
