Winter shoes

[Mattyboy]

Yesterdays game gave me the first indication that I should get some winter shoes, due to some soft spike slippage on the tee.
Are rubber uppers and metal spikes still available or am i showing my age here?
Otherwise, what do you consider to be a good winter shoe?
Thanks in advance.

I tend to put a set of Stinger Pro in my winter shoes. A spike/cleat combo it gives me the best grip. Must do that soon

Why not just get some of these?

Chris, they look interesting! Thanks for that. I will check the thread on my FJs.

The standard Adidas spikes have always served me well during the winter.They seem a bit harder than other soft spikes,and seem to bite a bit more,when conditions are muddy/icy.

I use the Pro Stinger too.
Need to replace last years, they're wearing a bit thin.

Another vote for the Pro Stinger, stick them in my black AQL's. Happy days

Ha ha ha I remember those type of shoe. Can't remember the manufacturer but they were almost pure rubber upper, hard sole with spikes. Feet would sweat like a fat lass on a space hopper, and even if it was a dry day it would appear you'd been wading through the sea.... Ah happy memories!

Edit- was it Barrats the maker of these style icons?
