Trail running in autumn and winter has its own unique charm: crisp air, colorful forests, and the first snowflakes of the season. But with leaves, mud, and ice, the trails can quickly turn into a slippery adventure – and that’s exactly what author Claudia Töpfer recently wrote about in her article “Trailrunning bei Laub und Eis.”
We’re especially excited that our Snowline Spikes Trail were mentioned as a top recommendation for more grip during winter runs! 🙌
“As an alternative to spike shoes, you can simply strap lightweight traction aids like the Chainsen Snowline Trail onto your regular trail running shoes. That keeps you maximally flexible – on ice-free asphalt you can just take them off again.”
That’s exactly our philosophy: maximum traction, minimal restriction.
Whether you’re jogging through damp leaves in the city park or training on icy forest paths – with snowline Spikes, you’ll stay safe and confident on your feet.
Why Spikes Are in Season Now
As temperatures drop and frost or wet leaves start covering the trails, even the best trail running shoes lose grip fast.
Our snowline Spikes Trail are made precisely for this in-between season:
-
ultra-light and flexible
-
quick to put on and take off
-
made from stainless steel
-
designed for a perfect fit on running shoes
This way, you can decide spontaneously when to use them – and pack them away just as easily when the trail gets steeper or slicker.
More Safety = More Flow
As Claudia Töpfer points out in her article, winter trail running is all about controlled pace, awareness, and the right gear.
When you don’t have to focus on every single step because your traction is reliable, the fun naturally returns – and you can fully enjoy your flow.
Our Conclusion
Trail running in autumn and winter isn’t a risk – it’s an experience, as long as you’re well prepared.
We say: strap on your spikes, get outside, and enjoy the trail!
Big thanks to Bergzeit and Claudia Töpfer for the great article and the mention.
