Running/hiking/crawling up and down Moose Mountain confirmed my suspicions. I have had enough of the Salomon Speedcross Trail Shoes. I couldn’t wait to take the damn shoes off at the top. (I had to refrain from tossing them over the edge) I bought them on a whim a few months ago because my Saucony Peregrine 2 had seen better days. But I was in Red Deer and I wanted shoes that day. Call it an impluse purchase. I didn’t do any research (other than asking my Facebook friends to pick a colour).
They are just too clunky. I’m sure they work for other people but just not for me. I felt like I was wearing snowshoes. Definitely not the lightweight that I crave. Actually I think they will make a great winter running shoe. So now I am on the lookout for new trail shoes and quick! Remember I am trying to soak up every ounce of good weather before the snow starts falling (again)!
I loved walking barefoot (and in the snow). I made snow angels. (No joke) VM couldn’t handle the cold. It was super refreshing! All in all it was an action-packed fun weekend.
I am glad I got some quality time on my feet. It’s always great to get out in nature. I can never really complain.
