Here's a winterizing tip. Most running shoes, except for the no H2O models, have too much open mesh
for wet winter running, or running in snow. To add a few miles of dry feet before they inevitably
get wet, use clear 100% silicon rubber, and spread it over the mesh areas on the outside of the
shoe. This will not only help keep you drier, it makes them noticeably warmer too. I never realized
how much that mesh really cools down your feet. It sticks well for several weeks (even on dirty
shoes) and you can peel it off just about anytime, and you'll never know it was there. Just be sure
not to push it too deeply into the mesh if you eventually want to peel it off, but if you want it
more permanent then push the silicon into the mesh deeper. Works great for repairs that are on a
flexible area of your shoes, not so well on the bottoms. A huge tube for your chaulking gun is about
$4.00, that's enough to do 100 pairs of shoes, and still have some left over.
