Got my new shoes from SGRC today.  Brooks Cascadia 5.  I got them on Cody's suggestion and the need for something that will have some traction in this land of the eternal ice and snow (otherwise known as Logan).  Took them out on a trial trail (pun intended) run on the BST and surrounding environs.  Trail was about an even mix of ice, snow, and mud.  Shoes performed fantastically.  I think if I'm not careful I might make these my favorite shoes ever.  The ride is very smooth even on the road and as one who's never had a pair of real trail shoes before these were great to have on the trail.  My foot would actually stay where I put it!  Imagine that...  The run felt good.  I took it easy for the most part and just enjoyed being up out of the inversion for a little while.  Pace was still decent though.  I have noticed that my stride is becoming more and more efficient.  Maybe 80-90 mpw during the summer had something to do with that.  Weather was gray and chilly, but what's new?

First pair of trail shoes- awesome. Don't wear them out before the summer when you can use them on real dirt, though! But they definitely are great for traction in snow and mud. I did lots of winter runs on BST, up Green (on the road), and Logan Canyon trail.

I'm kinda interested to see how they hold up. If they're anything as good as my Adrenalines there will be no danger of wearing them out before summer. I put over 1000 miles on my last pair of Adrenalines.

I had a pair of Cascadias a few years ago, and they held up very well.
