Our read
A specialist cold-weather ultra shoe for runners who face ice and snow; the permanent carbide spikes make it unusable indoors or on bare ground but unmatched on frozen terrain.
Ride
The Arnitel TPEE midsole is resilient and responsive over long distances with a moderate 26/21 mm stack and 5 mm drop, while the 20 carbide-tipped spikes dominate the feel on ice.
Fit
Standard width only, with a seamless one-piece Dyneema upper that wraps the foot securely and resists abrasion.
Best for
Winter and icy-terrain ultra runners who need permanent metal-spike traction and thermoregulating weather resistance.
Avoid if
You run mostly on bare trail or hard surfaces, since the fixed carbide spikes cannot be removed and are not for indoor use.
