STABILicersWalk Traction Cleat for Walking on Snow and Ice (1 Pair)

I have been using these for about 2 months now and they are fantastic. I work for a truck rental company in Wisconsin that requires me to walk outside for long periods of time in a lot that is almost entirely covered with ice and snow. I need the ability to move quickly and safely regardless of the conditions. I tried several other pairs of "ice cleats" that you attach to your boots and they either did not fit or broke after days of use. I purchased these Stabilicers as a last ditch effort to prevent myself from slipping and falling when I needed to move quickly over very icy blacktop and concrete. They work fantastically.I purchased the Extra Large version as I wear size 15.5 Caterpillar steel toe work boots and I needed them to fit over the large sole. They stretch and fit just fine over these very large boots. I am not sure what other people are complaining about when they say they don't fit. Those people just plain bought the wrong size. These stretch a lot and are not affected by the cold so you can leave them in your vehicle and they are still pliable enough to put on quickly when they are cold. I have not had any issues with tears or any other defects at all.When you wear these they hold onto the sole of your boot NOT THE ENTIRE BOTTOM HALF OF YOUR BOOT. As long as the side supports are wrapped over the edge of your shoe soles they will stay on securely. I could see this being a problem if you run in them but if you plan to run in the winter RUN INDOORS because that's what treadmills were invented for and its your own fault if you fall running on snow and ice.Bottom line: They fit large boots, stay on securely, keep you from slipping on ice and snow almost entirely, and are durable. Buy them. You won't regret it.

Large, tall and heavy older Marine with a steep driveway I've slipped on in the snow operating an 85# snow thrower that is not self-propelled --- despite my best efforts and boot selection. I have a known back issue and have gone through severe pain for months because of it. I CANNOT afford another slip and fall on my driveway and I can't afford to pay someone else to do it.The weight of the Honda snow thrower is not the issue, the steep slick driveway is!I saw these here on Amazon and thought of 10 things that could go totally sour using these, and waste my very limited money. I looked and compared the other options and came back to these, crossed my fingers and ordered them. Got them and sure enough, 9" of snow 2 days later. Strapped em on over my size 14 tennis shoe and out I go into the tundra. They worked great!! No slipping pulling or pushing the machine up OR down the cement drive way.I put these on over the tennis shoes, did the snow and shoveled the steps, and took them back OFF the shoes so they were not stretched needlessly during storage.Another snow, same thing. Not ONE slip or feeling unstable. The rubber material is strong, fits my 14 EEE (Wide) tennis shoes fine, though I'm not sure I'd try to go much bigger. They say up to size 15 and that would be it. Be SURE to keep these out of sunlight or near heat or you will ruin them! You can do wood steps wearing them but I would avoid using them in the house on wood as they will dimple the wood some. On either side of the metal tips is bumpers to keep your full weight off the metal tips or tines, but allow enough weight to get them engaged with the cement perfectly. Nicely thought out design.I have a standard size driveway and steps/sidewalk, and used these twice now (about 1.5 hour real time using these in action, and the rubber that was stretched over the shoes looks like new, the hardened metal tips on the bottom Do show some wear but are still 95% and they are NOT BENT!! Nice surprise. The metal tips show minor wear but remember my weight! I was concerned I would just bend them over making these useless. Not ONE tine or tip looks to be bent at all. Sweet.I see on their web site they have several models, and as these near the end of their life span, I'll get the next model up that is built just a little more heavy duty in the rubber strapping's, but appears to use the same identical metal tip assemblies molded into the bottoms. I would think at this rate of wear, I should get 3 average winters out of them at about 4-5 snows per year here in Omaha. Maybe 4-5 years.That makes these cost like $5 PER YEAR!! That's a great value compared to slipping and falling once, blowing my back out or breaking a hip or some other part I would like unbroken. If you are reading this, look like a former NFL lineman like I do, then wonder no more. Try these OR their next build up and I doubt you would regret your purchase. If you are a normal weight person, these and their metal tips that catch on the bumps in the cement could last you a decade, IF you keep them out of the sun when they are not in use. This kind of rubber (almost any kind of rubber, actually) and sun do not like each other.Go for it! I got the blue ones. Very happy with my purchase, and don't dread blowing the snow and almost enjoy it now that I don't fear falling.

I really like these. Easy to put on, even on the trail. They are very stable and don’t slip on ice or snow. They’re also comfortable and work well on rock and frozen dirt which is important if you’re hiking on a trail with a mixture of hard dirt & rock (lower elevation) and snow & ice (higher elevation). They do run small - I wear men’s size 11 boots and the XL is just right and fits tightly - L would’ve been too small.
