Ankle straps add a second point of hold. Most people don't need them, but they help on bulky boots and in deep snow.
Who EASY SPIKE™ Is For
EASY SPIKE™ is Winter Walking's lowest-cost ice cleat. It was designed by ice cleat experts with over 35 years of experience, and it shares critical features with Winter Walking's professional ice cleats.
- Businesses that want to protect every employee, not just the outdoor crews. It's affordable enough to equip everyone.
- Postal workers and delivery drivers. EASY SPIKE™ is widely used by mail carriers across the country.
- Homeowners who want dependable traction for everyday winter walking at a low price.
- Anyone who wants a pair on hand. They fold small enough for a pocket, backpack, console, glove box, or briefcase.
Choose something else if you go in and out of buildings or vehicles all day (see Winter Walking LOW-PRO), or if you work outdoors all day and want the best possible grip (see Winter Walking HIGH-PRO).

How EASY SPIKE™ Grips
- 22 well-positioned, aggressive 2mm studs give you instant, secure traction on ice, packed snow, and black ice. They're molded in, so they can't come loose, and they're designed to stay sharp.
- An aggressive tread gives you better traction in deep snow.
- The studs are carbon steel, which is how EASY SPIKE™ keeps its price down. If you'll wear your cleats every day for years, the tungsten carbide studs on LOW-PRO and HIGH-PRO last far longer.
Easy On, Easy Off, and Stays On
- A pull tab and straps that stay flexible in frigid temperatures make them quick to put on and take off.
- Strong, durable, wide straps keep EASY SPIKE™ securely on your footwear and properly aligned.
Light, Compact, and Visible at Night
- They add no noticeable weight to your footwear.
- They fold small enough to carry in a pocket, backpack, console, glove box, or briefcase, so they're with you when you need them.
- A reflective heel patch makes you easier to see at night.

EASY SPIKE™ FAQs
EASY SPIKE™ gives you excellent traction for its price class. For the very best traction, choose professional, heavy-duty Winter Walking HIGH-PRO or Winter Walking ICE BEAST™ HIGH-PRO Ice Cleats.
No. Winter Walking says they shouldn't be worn indoors, and I agree. I've even heard of mail carriers who love wearing theirs on indoor rugs, but the 2mm carbon steel spikes
- will scratch soft floors;
- are bad for carpets; and
- are slippery on hard, smooth floors.
If you want to go indoors without taking your ice cleats off, get Winter Walking LOW-PRO or Winter Walking ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO. Both have Transitional Traction™ with 1mm studs.
Winter Walking says EASY SPIKE™ is safe to wear while driving because it doesn't interfere with the pedals. My own answer is no: I don't recommend driving in any ice cleat with 2mm studs. If you want cleats you can keep on behind the wheel, look at Winter Walking LOW-PRO, Winter Walking ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO, or Winter Walking LOW-PRO HEEL.
For most people, no. One of the main reasons people stop wearing ice cleats is that taking them off and putting them back on gets impractical. That's how ice cleats end up in the junk drawer instead of on people's shoes.
If you live or work in a city, you're constantly getting on and off transit and going in and out of doors. You also have to watch your step, because ordinary ice cleats can be slippery on sewer grates and utility covers.
Winter Walking LOW-PRO solves that: you can wear it on most indoor floors and while driving. It costs a little more, but the convenience is worth every penny.
Yaktrax are extremely popular, and they won't damage floors. However, Yaktrax
- are not safe on most indoor floors, so you still have to take them off, because the wound steel coils are extremely slippery on dry, smooth surfaces;
- are very slippery on sewer grates, utility covers, and transit steps;
- have durability issues; and
- lose effectiveness in frigid temperatures, when the ice is denser.
The size chart is based on regular shoes and sneakers. If you'll wear EASY SPIKE™ over boots, choose the next bigger size. EASY SPIKE™ fits up to a men's 13½. For larger footwear, see Winter Walking SPARE SPIKE™, which comes in XXL. Not sure? Call me at 610-670-2549; size exchanges are free.
