I just bought the cumulus 15 about a month ago and absolutely love them but I am wondering how well they will hold up in winter conditions. Has anyone ran in this shoe, any version, in the winter?

I've been running in Asics shoes (including a few Cumulus models) for a long time now and haven't had any winter issues. That said, when the snow gets too deep, I simply strap on a set of snow shoes and keep on running.

Thanks a lot. I can always run on roads by my house when the snow is to deep to run in. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to have any problems using these shoes. When I got fit for them I wasn't even thinking about running in winter. This is the first winter that I am going to run. The stopped running a couple years ago when the conditions got rough and then never picked it back up when it got nice.
