Saucony Peregrine Ice's finally arrived this week, took them out for a spin...the chinook had most of the path slushy so it wasn't a true ice test, but traction was great for the entire run. I went and found a patch of ice to do further testing, and as long as the Arctic Grip material is in contact with the ground, it's borderline miraculous. the rest of the outsole (edges) has normal ice traction, i.e. none.
so I think these are the best overall solution for mixed terrain. they won't beat Icebugs or other studded shoes on the worst of the worst conditions, but if you need something that will handle almost all urban winter scenarios, Arctic Grip is what you want.
