Normal trainers or North Face shoes with vibram soles and goretex for the snow?

Contemplating footwear for this morning's run. Haven't got snow grippers.

Any experience out there?

Went for the North Face shoes with Vibram soles and Goretex lining, a bit heavier and less "bounce" than my normal running shoes but my feet were warm and dry. Slight sensation of a blister towards the end so might need thicker socks.

i wore my normal trainers for todays parkrun and was fine (even think I got a PB but waiting for confirmation). For me think I'll be OK in my normal ones unless it's icy.

I have used my North Face trainers (assume these are the "Hedgehogs"?) running on a snow covered football field and found them a bit heavy going, tried my usual Brooks trainers on the next run in the same place and they were surprisingly OK; I had expected wet feet but maybe the snow was the wrong sort for this!
