GGS Ice Cleats for Shoes & Boots – Non-Slip, Mid-Sole Spikes with Adjustable Strap for Traction in Snow and Ice, Winter Hiking, Fishing, Walking, and Climbing, One Size

These cleats really made a difference after a storm dropped 8 inches of "snowcrete" in our area. That's an inch or two of powder, topped with 6" of sleet pellets, and coated with a lovely 1/4" freezing rain glaze. It was truly frictionless. And *strong* enough to hold a 350 pound neighbor without even creaking. It laughed at plastic snow shovels and salt, which unfortunately were the only tools *not* frozen into my very unreachable shed. I spent about nine hours over 3 days freeing myself, my driveway and my car using a metal-tipped cane to crack the surface and then poke through and lever this stuff apart enough to create what passed for a "path." The first two days, I had only a serious pair of work boots, the cane and a metal pole. I fell repeatedly. I slid down my driveway. I slid down my front lawn. I slid getting my car door open. On Day 3, my cleats arrived. (cue heavenly chorus and beams of golden light). -They're basically adjustable elastic straps holding a flexible plastic bar embedded with tungsten studs. (Similar to some snow tires.). - You slip them over the toe of your boot and tuck them back where the arch joins the heel. No need to buckle or snap anything. You *can* adjust the fit so they don't work their way loose. - Heading into the house or the car? Just reach down and flip the bar over so the studs face in toward your boot. - They work. Very well. Do they work as well as mountaineering crampons? Probably not. But - as my neighborhood has been glacier-free with no deep crevasses reported - they'll do just fine for my purposes. And they cost very little. So: Inexpensive. Easy to put on, take off, and switch easily from outdoor to indoor use. Durability? Too soon to say, but neither the straps, the bar, or the studs show any serious wear. A bargain from where I stand - solidly, without slipping.

These ice grippers just arrived and even though I haven't used them on the ice yet, they appear to be of good quality and the spikes appear solid. The strap is easy to tighten and they are easy to get on and off any shoe/boot. I tried them on different boots and they worked on all of them. Appear to be very stable on the shoe and it looks like they will provide excellent traction in the ice/snow.

These ice cleats do a good job providing extra traction on icy and snowy surfaces. I felt noticeably more stable walking outside, especially on sidewalks and driveways. They’re fairly easy to put on and seem to stay in place once secured. That said, they can feel a bit awkward at first, especially on harder surfaces like concrete, and the fit might not be perfect for every type of shoe. Also, I wouldn’t recommend wearing them indoors as they can be slippery or uncomfortable. Overall, a solid option for winter use, but not perfect. Worth having for safety in icy conditions.

These saved my neck in this year's ice storm. I was still able to walk into the barn and drive my UTV to tend to animals so the arch design served my purposes better than a product that would cover my entire foot. With the shape of my boots, I did end up tying a piece of twine to each side looping around the back of my heal to keep the cleats in place.

I'd give it 5 stars if they would just STAY ON!! I lost 1 in a 2ft snow drift and 1 while I was pushing the snow thrower! I wish you could adjust them somehow but it seems like I'll need to tie them into the boot laces to keep from losing them. Other than that, when they were on my shoes, they worked great to keep me from falling.

Works well in snow in ice, price is right, easy to use, great on ice, keeps me safe on the ice, last a good long while,

Let's be honest. There are definitely better ice cleats out there. The big advantage to these cleats is the ability to quickly spin them around so the spikes are facing up, and youre able to walk into finished areas without worrying about damaging the floor, while these are technically still on your boot. They add a nice boost to safety, and will likely last more than a season of use.

I've tried Yaktrax. Slipper indoors, very slippery on any store's laminated floors. I've tried the cheap "steel" studs -- rusted mess after the first winter. THIS works great. Easy to disable when indoors; just rotate the cleats. Just like the others, they work well outside. That said, they do take some getting used to. Every step feel like you're stepping on a big stick. The sensation is strongest on sneakers (flat soles) and virtually gone on boots with a small heel. Not an issue for me, but may be for others.
