I was looking into getting some shoes for winter, preferably not way expensive, and I wanted some input from you guys. After looking into VFF's a bit I was turned off by the fact that they aren't water proof. But really, I wouldn't consider my normal running shoes at all water proof, and I only need to deal with small stretches of 2-4 inch deep powder at most. Would you guys say Vibrams would work for that? (I was looking at some KSO treks, since they're more rugged and sound like they should last longer than other VFF's.) As for temperature I could probably just get some toe socks to wear in them, I doubt I'll have trouble when I'm running, since after I mile I run in a t-shirt, and after about five I could probably go shirtless, through december and january. Febuary is much colder because of wind, but I don't know how freezing wind will affect my feet.
So, would vibrams be good enough? If you don't think so any other recomendations are welcome, but I'd like to get shoes for around $60 or less. (I can get the vibrams on ebay for about that.)
