"I do as the Norwegians do"

Yeah... About that. How's well are you walking on ice? (Also an immigrant)

I'm in Trondheim and it's been wonderfully covered in ice. I watch kids run on it while I resign to slipping spikes onto my shoes just to stay upright. (I don't ski, but I have made sure to go out into the weather like "normal")



I’m originally from the Alps, so I had experience with snow, ice, and skiing before immigrating to Norway. However, I do not have the same balance and skills as the average Norwegian regarding Nordic skiing or moving on ice.

Without spikes, I walk on ice like a penguin and I struggle. I have no shame about using spikes, it’s magic and also a lot safer.


I am Norwegian, and I use (running) shoes with ice spikes when conditions are icy, even though I'm just going to the store.

Currently I'm happy with Icebug shoes; https://icebug.com/no/shoe-finder?usage-area=running&terrain...
