The roads have been pretty bad around here and it seems like it's taking the plows longer to make their rounds as we get deeper into winter.
I'm tired of missing runs because of the weather and maybe I headed out a day sooner than I should have. But I know that they make some shoes specifically for trail running that may be better. They also make some cleats that attach to your shoes.
Has anyone tried any of these things or maybe you have another solution?

Ugh..Invest in a great treadmill with all the options you love, that's how I solved the winter running problems, yes I have taken some falls myself... At 51 I don't need to break a something...
If you are going to run outside during the winter, you need to find the right place to run. I once did a 10 mile run on packed snow on a country road with regular running shoes. There was no ice. It was a great run. The worst place to run with snow on the ground are sidewalks. You will encounter every type of condition. Trails are usually bad since few trails are plowed. Find a road that has been plowed and salted, or one that has only been plowed.

I use cleats with upper support for the ankle but I am warm weather and guess you need more protection in your climate.
Yaktrax here too. I run in all weather and just can't run inside so they work great for me! Our roads and sidewalks have been had lots of snow and ice the last few days.
