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 GRIPS-LITE Is For
Winter Walking GRIPS-LITE uses self-renewing aluminum oxide grit bands instead of metal studs. That makes it Non-Sparking and Non-Conductive, and it grips on oil, grease, chemicals, and wet floors as well as ice and snow. Choose GRIPS-LITE if you:
- Work around flammable gas, explosives, or grain dust and need footwear traction that can never create a spark;
- Need Non-Conductive traction, for example around electrical utilities;
- Walk on oily, greasy, or wet floors as well as icy lots and yards; or
- Go in and out all day and drive: GRIPS-LITE is safe indoors, while driving, and while operating equipment.
Not the best choice for everyday ice and snow. If you don't need Non-Sparking or Non-Conductive traction, studded cleats grip ice far better. See the FAQs below.

How GRIPS-LITE Grips
- Aluminum oxide bands work like sandpaper, giving you thousands of traction points on slick surfaces, for better traction than rubber-soled shoes and boots alone.
- One device for many hazards. The same pair grips on ice, snow, oil, grease, chemicals, and wet floors, indoors and out.
- Self-renewing grit. GRIPS-LITE uses thick, layered aluminum oxide bands instead of a single layer of grit, so the bands renew themselves as they wear and keep giving you traction over the life of the product.
Non-Sparking, Not Just Spark-Resistant
Aluminum oxide is both Non-Sparking and Non-Conductive. Many competing gritted traction devices are only spark-resistant, which means they could create a spark under certain circumstances. Ask anyone who works around natural gas, explosives, or grain elevators whether that difference matters.
Keep Them On Indoors and Out
Because you can wear GRIPS-LITE indoors, while driving, and while operating equipment, you can put them on and leave them on. Employees who go in and out all day are more productive, and they're more likely to actually wear traction devices that don't slow them down. That's ideal for people on the loading dock, people who take frequent yard checks or walk between plant buildings, delivery and shuttle drivers, maintenance workers, and mechanics.
Easy On, Easy Off
- The rubber-compound straps stay flexible at low temperatures.
- Patented Dual Pull Tabs™ give you a better grip, a big help for anyone with weak hands.
- Patented Dual Density™ Design makes them easier to stretch over your footwear.
- Uni-foot design: no left or right. Grab one and put it on either shoe.
Straps That Last and Stay Put
- The tough proprietary rubber compound resists harsh chemicals.
- The straps have no memory, so they keep fitting snugly and don't stretch out of shape.
- The patented bell-shaped front covers the entire front of your shoe or boot.
- A ridge inside the patented heel strap catches between the sole and the upper so the back doesn't slip off.
No stretch-on traction device can guarantee it won't come off, especially in deep, wet snow. The optional Ankle Strap Kit in the buy box solves that.

GRIPS-LITE FAQs
GRIPS-LITE is Non-Sparking, which means it will never, under any conditions, cause a spark. Spark-resistant means a traction device probably won't generate a spark, but it could under some circumstances. If you work around explosives or natural gas, in a munitions or fireworks plant, or at a grain elevator, you want Non-Sparking.
It's supposed to lose that rough top layer. Winter Walking specifically instructs you to wear them and slide them on a sidewalk to remove it for safety. The aluminum oxide bands create traction at the micro-particle level, and they keep renewing as they wear.
Yes. Winter Walking rates GRIPS-LITE safe to wear indoors, while driving, and while operating equipment.
No. I only recommend gritted ice cleats when you can't use cleats with tungsten carbide studs because you need Non-Sparking or Non-Conductive traction. Studded ice cleats are far more effective at reducing slips and falls on ice, and gritted cleats become much less effective
- in frigid temperatures, when ice is denser; and
- on black ice.
If your main concern is ice cleats you can wear indoors, and your floors aren't oily or greasy, Winter Walking LOW-PRO or Winter Walking ALTRAGRIPS-LITE LOW PROFILE is a better choice: both perform far better on ice, packed snow, deep snow, slush, and black ice.
