Unfortunately where I live, it isn't exactly warm. I live in the northern part of Utah. In Cache Valley it is not abnormal for it to hit the negatives during the night, and to have our high be in the one digits! So as you can imagine, running in the winter is not exactly ideal. With the snow,ice,and freezing temperatures, the roads and sidewalks become one big ice rink! After many a slips and falls, I was determined to find something that would help me run on those roads.<br /><br />I started searching the web and found <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Stableicers</span></span> and Ice bugs, but honestly, I just simply could not afford them. Also, after reading countless comments and reviews by my fellow runners who used these products, it always came back to the old school screw your shoes! Apparently,</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" > putting screws into the bottom of your running shoes,is the way to go. They are effective,affordable,you could just take a trip to the hardware store and your done right?<br /><br />Being a crazy busy mother with small children, going to the hardware store <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">just</span> to pick up some screws, became a bit of a nightmare. I wanted to find the screws that would work best for me and give me the best <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">traction</span></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >. I also wanted them to be a safe length. The thought of having a screw stick through my foot was not exactly an experience I hoped for. So after countless visits to the hardware store (those of us with small children know that it is never just a quick errand), I found what I was looking for. They have worked great and I love them! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Unfortunately</span>, just like shoes, the screws wore down, and it came time to purchase some more. I so did not want to have to go back to the hardware store. I wished someone would just go and get them for me.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" > </span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >So that is when I came up with the <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Screw Shoe system! </span>Everything you need for your screw shoes right in one little pack!<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" > </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">RunnerGizmos</span></span></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" > has done the shopping, thinking, and testing for you.
