The North Face Pipe Dragon Lace Boot - Men's
The North Face Pipe Dragon Lace boot is the answer to your problems: Let's face it, just because you have to deal with snowy streets doesn't mean you want a pair of massive clodhoppers. The Pipe Dragon is a mid-height shoe made of waterproof suede and insulated with 200g of PrimaLoft, making it a comfy, warm winter shoe for tackling the slush and snow of city streets. The Pipe Dragon uses The North Face's Winter Grip rubber outsole to provide superb traction on wet and slick winter surfaces. A molded rubber heel counter cradles and supports your foot and accommodates snowshoes for when things get more serious. The North Face Pipe Dragon Lace is the happy medium between winter boots and comfy sneakers.

Good Shoes
I like the shoes. Warm yet not thick. Very comfortable fit.
Great for flat-footers
This is a great, comfortable, warm and dry boot that I recommend to anyone looking for a boot to tromp around town in and play in the snow/rain in. The only complaint is lack of arch support: this boot is for flat-footed people. Other than that, it's great.
great shoe.
I'd recommend it. Great comfortable shoe.
EXCELLENT WINTER BOOT
This is an excellent mid boot for use in winter and snow. I’ve had the opportunity to use it during snow and it has unbelievable grip. I ran up and down the street at high speed and it handled like a sneaker during a race. It’s very warm and stylish. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for footwear that is waterproof, warm, and not heavy. It’s perfect for the city or rural areas where a pack boot is not needed, but where a shoe can't be used.
great shoes great price
I was looking for a boot that was warm, waterproof, weatherproof and that wasn't as bulky as my Columbia boots. These boots gave me just what I was looking for. I am not saying they are as warm as the heavy duty columbia boots but they sure are warm. They fit and feel like a high top sneaker. With these you don't have to take them off once you're inside; they aren't over kill. A great boot for all day comfort.

Training Tips
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
