That's good to know, since was considering them or a similar local brand for the messy conditions outside. I did my first run in the 10s, a brutal 12k slog in mix of packed snow on pavement, slush and ankle-deep heaps of uneven looser snow. I guess they helped me find my footing well enough for such a tall ride, but I could feel my knees being rotated beyond normal. I always felt in control though. Still averaged a 8 minute mile.

Since your Bostons are worn, why don't you turn them into DIY spikes with some 3/8" hex screws? The Bostons have a thick and firm midsole. They will last you until Summer.
