First started racing in the area as "amateur " I didn't realize the importance of proper footwear until the first training SRTG. A lot of mud, puddles, ascents and increased risk of injury, all this had an impact on the decision to purchase the right shoes.

Where to start looking? I thought ... On the market hundreds of models praised by the manufacturers. But something always lacked. So I sat down and quietly wondered what I Anka Spartanka :) personally expect from this type of footwear.

I am a small woman weighing 52 kg needed shoes light, minimalist even, that the racing type Obstacle Race is likely to get wet, zabłocenie which is associated with the possibility of a slip and you know what follows ...injury. Something that would give me the lightness / agility, comfort for the foot and safety.

One day I look and what I see? Shoes ideal (ideal for women is also nice look ). By chance I found a website of the Swedish company ICEBUG. In the picture a woman in a muddy colored shoes in fuchsia model ICEBUG Acceleritas 4-L RB9X.

And here ... I love at first sight.come on? I like to look good in the mud :)

But weighs approx. 180 grams is ultra light which is important for: - Shorter distances where the speed and lightness is important - Long tiring journeys type Spartan Race considering that the route happens to swimming and mud "foot"

These shoes are made in the technology of Non Absorbing which ensures that rates will not be burdened with soaked shoes. It can increase its weight by up to 20% of its weight, but it is hardly noticeable.most importantly - the sole or most important element of the whole, it is important mainly due to the adhesion to the substrate when running on rough terrain on muddy / wet and slippery mountain trails. Used a mixture of gum RB9X gives about 90% more friction on difficult surfaces compared with other manufacturers and the added bonus is the fact that the sole ICEBUG no clashes during the run on asphalt !!!

The company ICEBUG are many interesting running shoes for women and men as well as with the use of so-called."Clever spikes" that adapt to the ground to provide the best possible grip.

The only downside might be the price. It dates back to the amount of about 429 zł, however, given the virtually indestructible of shoes which I am a living example as a participant Gear Spartan Race.honestly and in good conscience recommend ICEBUG.
