Additionally, I dive into everything you need to know about using La Sportiva Hobnails for enhanced winter trail running traction on icy terrain. I cover the different types of Hobnail packs—one that includes an installation tool and the other, a replacement pack with fewer screws, and explain how to use the tool to securely screw hobnails into your trail running shoes. I walk you through key tips for installation, like where to place the Hobnails on the sole to optimize grip while running on snow and ice, especially on mountain descents. I also recommend a dedicated pair of winter running shoes to prevent wear and tear from inserting and removing the Hobnails multiple times during a season. By following these steps, you’ll enjoy better traction and safety on winter trails. If you’re still exploring winter traction options, be sure to check out my related video on "Selecting the right winter traction for your trail running shoes".
