Salt in my shoes - Triathlon Week

02-01-2005, 04:30 PM

It's been a lot of snow and ice here lately so the sidewalks and roads
are full of rock salt. I can't seem to make it 1/2 mile before I've got
to stop and take my shoe off.

It's bad enuf I'm injured and have to mostly walk instead of run, but
this is getting to be a royal pain in the butt. I tried duct tape around
the tops but it won't stick to my socks. Anyone got any better suggestions

BTW: I've got wide forefoot and narrow heels, and just about any shoe
still has gaps around the ankles where the salt gets in.

I've heard that the guys that run across deserts and suchlike use a silk
gator that you glue to you running shoe... perhaps something like that might
work?
