Speedcrosses are good for snow, yes, and Spikecross for ice come with Climashield so you don't get a choice on water resistance, but it doesn't go all the way round for models with Climashield, which IMO is a good compromise.

Interesting to stumble on this thread. I’m just off to test out a new Mizuno pair with Gortex & Michelin branded rugged looking soles. I bought them on the promise they were essentially my favourite wave riders but with better grip. We shall see |

SteveC amid the winters snow
We've had such a wet back end of the year here that I'm thibking of a mixed terrain pair with Goretex now. Thinking of maybe Peregrine 10 gtx or the more extreme La Sportiva Lycan. Wondering how the Mizunos are working out. |
