Altragrips-Lite do not have to be removed when going indoors or when driving when ordered with the low profile 1mm studs because both the studs and treads make contact with the surface giving you traction on ice and snow as well as smooth dry and wet surfaces. You give up the full protection from water damage to your shoes but gain the ability to more easily have them with you when and where you need them.
Altragrips-Lite are easy to put on your shoes or boots. Simply place the toe of your shoe in the front strap. Then you grab the two rear, textured DUAL PULL TABS, a patented Jordan David exclusive feature, pulling the heel strap out and back. It's also easier because of Jordan David's Dual Density Design. The rubber between the front of the shoe and the heel... where there is little or no wear... is thinner making the device easier to stretch.
They may be easy to put on but they stay securely in place. You can order an accessory strap to help keep them in place but I don't think you're going to need them.
Like the Altragrips overshoes, Altragrips-Lite are available with Low Profile and High Profile Studs. You can see the advantages of each profile in the table below.

The 16 studs a strategically placed. The stud at the bottom center of the heel is another Jordan David exclusive feature. Your heel is the first thing to make contact with the ice. It's important to have a spike there.
Altragrips-Lite and made to last. The real rubber compound is tough. The studs are tough, long-wearing tungsten carbide and inserted with a unique, proven process to keep them from coming loose.
There are two methods to select the correct size AltraGrips Lite...
Obviously you can go by the shoe sizes. But the actual size of the shoe or boot can vary greatly for the same show size. So here's another way to check.
(OR)
Measure the length of the shoe or boot you want to put AltraGrips on. Then select the size AltraGrips with a length about 1 inch SHORTER than the length of your shoe or boot... because you want it to stretch.

Although AltraGrips Lite are rock solid and stay on your shoes extremely well I highly recommend getting the ankle straps. If there is one thing I've learned over the years selling ice traction devices is that there always seems to be a way of walking out of ice traction devices in a deep wet snow. AltraGrips are too expensive lose and the ankle straps are a good investment.
