Kudos to all the runners out there who don't let Winter prevent them from continuing their outdoor runs. If you bundle up in the right gear, running in the cold can actually be really fun and invigorating. The one thing you have to worry about is snow and ice on the road or trail. If you don't want to ruin a pair of sneakers by adding screws to the soles, try this less permanent option.

You can purchase a pair of YakTrax Pros ($30) or STABILicers ($40). The YakTrax have rubberized bands that allow for more flexibility in your foot, so they offer more comfort and control. They're also cheaper but may not stay on your sneaker as well as the STABILicers. Whichever kind you choose, they're only meant for running on lightly snowy surfaces or if there's visible ice. They won't work on black ice, and if you prefer running in deeper snow, attach them to waterproof trail runners or running boots.

These are also nice for elderly people. I bought some for my mom to put on her shoes so she doesn't fall, I tried to give some to my grandparents but thought they were ridiculous.
