I have Kahtoola microspikes which slip on to my running shoes as well as hiking boots. They are awesome on slippery surfaces. But if you are running for more than a few hundred yards at a time on asphalt or clear surfaces like a frozen crushed limestone trail, they beat up your feet.

The problem that day at the arboretum was that 99% of the road was perfectly clear, but there were spots where the snowbanks were melting and the moisture was running across the road and freezing. Now I tend to avoid the arboretum in the winter and will instead go to the trails with my microspikes.
