winter running traction

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 08:38:09 -0800

I'm wondering if anybody has tried any of the running shoes that have built-in metal studs/spikes on them?
I believe Ice Bugs is one brand.
Asics also makes a shoe called the Gel-Arctic which comes with 10 removable track spikes.

or are regular running shoes with Yaktraks working for you?

I asked by wife but I guess there is no ice/snow on the treadmills at the Lab.

SPRING 2008

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:13:19 -0800

Howdy all! It's been a while since I've posted.

Just a quick reminder that although our lives are primarily in winter mode with the cold and snow that we've had so far this winter, here in RETAIL world it is SPRING! That means that all of the running shoe companies Spring 2008 lines have been released. Here at Cadillac http://www.cadillacsports.com it's been a few years since we brought in much new inventory this early. But this year I've been able to bring in the new Asics running shoes about three months earlier than usual. For Spring they update their Stability line (actually, they call it "structured cushioning" but same thing) which is the Gel-Kayano(14) and the 2000 series which is now the GT-2130. These are both available at the Ellsworth store right now. Bar Harbor should get them in a week or two. We don't carry them but these are available in widths too. Ask and we'll special order them for you.

Hey everybody.
It was great to get out and see a few of you at the time trial in Tremont this morning.
I hadn't competed in over five years and it feels good to be at least part way back. I beat my goal of riding the course in under 41 min. Not bad for only training since mid-July.
And my plantar fasciitis has gotten MUCH better since I started riding again. Go figure!!

We're having a great season at the store this summer! Big thanks to everybody who shops locally for their endurance sports needs. We're actually busy writing orders for next year's product. I just ordered Asics and Mizuno running shoes for Spring 2008.
