"Select the best ice cleats for your particular situation to minimize winter slips and falls..." |
There are several types of ice cleats. Choosing the best ice cleats is not always obvious because no one type of ice cleat is best for everyone. Many times the best approach to preventing slips and falls is a combination of different types of ice cleats best suited for particular employees.

Traditional Ice Cleats Jordan David sells traditional ice cleats in the sense that the spikes are sharp. That's where the comparison with competing ice cleats stops because Jordan David has incorporated several exclusive patented features. With over 30 years of experience they designed each ice cleat to give you optimum traction and usability. For businesses reading this the usability issues addressed are just as important as the traction the ice cleats provide because no accidents will be avoided if employees won't use them. The best way to decide which ice cleat best meets your needs is to examine the Slip Resistant Footwear Product Selector of Ice and Snow. This will show you all the types of slippery conditions each ice cleat will accommodate. It will also show which ice cleats are safe to wear while driving, which ones will keep your feet dry, and much more. I want to call special attention to the Altragrips-Lite® Low Profile Ice Cleats and AltraGrips Low Profile Ice Cleats Overshoes. These are the only ice cleats I know of that most often do not have to be removed when going in and out of doors and can be safely worn while driving. This is the perfect answer for people living in urban areas and for delivery truck drivers. Spikeless Ice CleatsThis type of ice cleat have a steel wire which is wound around a elastomer or rubber straps that stretch to fit around your footwear. This is the most forgiving type of ice cleat in terms of selecting the right size. Yaktrax is the primary product in this category. They give you excellent traction on ice and packed snow but do nothing to improve traction in deep snow and are actually a liability on other slippery surfaces. This type of ice cleat is for outdoor use only. Walking through deep snow ... particularly deep wet snow ... can be a problem because the snow tends to pull the Yaktrax off of your shoe. The Yaktrax Pro has a strap that helps keep them on your feet and also helps keep them in place. Another important consideration about Yaktrax is that ... although they will not damage most floors ... you absolutely have to take them off before you go indoors where there is a smooth dry floor. That's because those coils are extremely slippery on any smooth dry surface which also includes smooth dry surfaces outdoors like marble or granite and sewer grates that most often are not covered with ice and snow. It is unsafe to drive with this type of ice cleat because of the danger of the strap getting caught on the pedals. There is also a issue with the coils being slippery on some pedals. So once again it is recommended that you remove spikeless ice cleats before driving. The metal coils preclude using this type of ice cleat in a spark free environment. While putting them on is simple the best way ... particularly for older folks ... is to do it sitting down. Because many times there is no place to sit down and because of all the times they must be removed this can be a problem. The Yaktrax Walker is recommended for older folks because they stretch a little easier. This type ice cleat is for walking or running on sidewalks, paved streets and parking lots. This is not a product for trails or rough terrain because of durability, being slippery on smooth rocks and debris getting caught between the coils. This is not a good choice for every day use by a construction worker who may be using a shovel. This is not a good choice for anyone using a ladder because the coils are slippery on the rungs. Durability is also an issue with this type of ice cleat and since the coils and straps are not replaceable it's a throw away. But your problem is primarily ice and packed snow and the other considerations above are not an issue you won't better ice cleats for the price. The Recommended ApproachThe best thing to do is call me at 1-888-205-4477 and I will recommend the best ice traction device(s) for your particular situation. |
