Kahtoola's component system for winter travel might be the perfect solution.
December 29, 2006 - KAHTOOLA FLIGHTSYSTEM
You like to do winter hikes or uphill workouts at ski areas, you want warmth and traction for your feet, but your heavy boots and/or snowshoes are just overkill. Kahtoola's component system for winter travel might be the perfect solution.
Start with the system's foundation, an ankle-high bootie - it's made of 3-millimeter Neoprene reinforced with Hypalon - that snugs over running shoes or day hikers. Stainless-steel cleats around the sole's perimeter give plenty of grip on ice and snow.
If you often venture into powder, add on the FLIGHTdeck (aka lightweight snowshoes); the bootie's forefoot cleats click right in, so you don't have to hassle with straps and bindings. You might not take flight, but you will float.

Trails iced over? Don't let that slow down the family runner. Kahtoola's insulated boot fits right over running shoes, and it has lots of traction for those slippery slopes.

If it's the thought that counts, a gift of fitness says "I love you" in a way no flawless $2 million, 12-carat diamond rign or $1.2 million Bugatti Veyron ever could. Yes, the recipient might think your thought involved the words pudgy or chubby or mountain of flab. But let's put the best possible spin on this: A fitness gift says, "I want you to feel great and stick around for many holidays to come - so get off your butt already!"
Here are some excellent choices:
Kahtoola FLIGHTboot, $150, and FLIGHTdeck, $185. Trails iced over? Don't let that slow down the family runner. Kahtoola's insulated boot fits right over running shoes, and it has lots of traction for those slippery slopes. And if there's a load of snow on the ground, just slip your FLIGHTboot into the FLIGHTdeck and you've got instant snowshoes.
