Winter Walking lite-duty ice cleats have many of the features found it their heavy-duty models. Therefore, these lite-duty ice gripper's quality exceeds the quality found in the recreational-grade ice cleats you find in most sporting goods, hardware, and department stores.
My goal in running this store is to do everything possibly to stop you from slipping on the ice and seriously injuring yourself. I always recommend heavy-duty ice and snow cleats. Yes, my lite-duty ice cleats are the best in their class. Nevertheless, heavy-duty ice grips are better at reducing the risk of an injury that can change your whole life in an instant.

SPARE SPIKE are lite-duty ice and snow cleats with replaceable spikes that offer many of the features found in the heavier-duty Winter Walking Ice Cleats. My only concern is the lack of heal spikes. However, no competing ice grippers in this price category have them either.
SPARE SPIKE will work with women's high heel shoes and boots because you can remove the back half of the ice grips. Use the Trim Line as a guide.
SPARE SPIKE is for occasional use like when you walk to the mailbox or across an icy parking lot. Businesses buy them to offer injury protection for all employees including office personnel.

Easy Spike Ice Cleats are prosumer-quality ice grippers.

But EASY SPIKES include features from Winter Walking's Professional-Grade Ice Cleats. Those advanced features overcome many of the shortcomings common to ordinary consumer-grade ice grips.

GRIPS-LITE gritted shoe attachments are non-sparking, non-conductive and versatile improving traction on oil, grease, ice, snow, slush, wet floors and more. These are special purpose ice cleats used around oil and gas, grain storage and milling, and any application where sparking and conductivity are an issue.
If you are a typical consumer, you do not want gritted ice grippers because they're less effective and less durable that spiked ice cleats.

Almost any ice grips for shoes and boots is better than no ice cleats. Therefore, it's the reviewer's base frame of reference. What you don't read about is when the seemingly reliable ice grippers later fail.
For example, when the unsuspecting user steps on
Aggressive traction methods become even more critical
Place your hand against the bottom of an ice traction device with steel coils. Now do the same, for example, with a HIGH-PRO Ice Cleat. What does your common sense tell you?
Of course the HIGH-PRO is better at penetrating ice. The traction provided by just one aggressive spike on the HIGH-PRO substantially exceeds the combined grip of the steel coils on both the right and left ice cleats.
Some chain designs have a roller barrel with edges. As the name implies, they tend to "roll" especially on flat smooth surfaces.
Chains can become a tripping hazard and can trap debris.
Can the straps break or something go wrong with a spike on heavy-duty, industrial-quality ice cleats? Absolutely! But the risk is greatly reduced. Reducing your risk is what it's all about.
Most people were not wearing ice cleats when they fell. However, many people were wearing ice grips they couldn't have been happier with up until the day they failed. They found out the hard way that there are big differences in how well different brands of ice cleats protect you. Some discovered that their ice grippers caused the fall!
If you haven't been injured, you definitely want to take steps to avoid an ice injury.
Do you find ice and snow cleats too difficult to put on or inconvenient, and impractical to use? Owning ice grips won't do you any good if their in a drawer in your garage.
I'll help you find ice traction devices that balance performance and safety with convenience and practicality.
Walking on an icy sidewalk like this is your worst nightmare if you're not wearing ice cleats you can trust.
It's not the right time to find out that your ice grips don't work on black ice or that the temperature dropped 10° and your ice grippers no longer work on the denser ice.

Manufacturers that manufacture the recreational ice grippers you find in local stores and on most online stores focus on keeping prices low and not the best traction. Recreational ice grips provide traction in certain, and most often not all, slippery winter conditions.
For a few dollars more, you can minimize your risk by buying professional-quality ice cleats with new, state-of-the-art features that will last several times longer than cheap ice grips.
We sell professional-quality Winter Walking Ice Cleats. Winter Walking focuses on preventing slips and falls on all winter's slippery conditions while keeping prices as low as possible without sacrificing quality and performance.
No store works harder than we do to get ice cleats sizing right on the first try. If you measure your footwear as I advise you to do in my Sizing Tips, Size Exchanges are rare. However, when Size Exchanges are necessary
