- Twenty eight well-distributed 2mm Tungsten Carbide Studs
- provide excellent traction on ice, black ice, and hard packed snow;
- are more studs than on any other stretch traction device; and
- are molded in for greater retention, safety, and durability.
- Tungsten Carbide Studs last far longer and stay sharper than the carbon steel spikes found in most competing ice cleats.
- Patented Heel Spike allows walking naturally without using any new, special skills.
- Studs are designed to stay uniformly sharp throughout their useful life giving you consistent traction and safety.
- Permanent studs are more comfortable and secure than replaceable studs.
- 1-Piece Molded Proprietary Synthetic Compound Straps
- are extremely durable;
- resistant to chemicals and other contaminants;
- have no memory and never stretch out of shape;
- stay flexible at low temperatures; and
- have a unique characteristic that grips the surface of your footwear to prevent it from slipping out of alignment.
- Sole/Heel (colored) material is a harder material than the upper stretch portion. Therefore. the heel and sole have greater abrasion resistance and durability while upper has greater stretch.
- The Dimpled Foot Bed grabs the bottom of your shoe or boot to prevent the device from sliding out of place.
- The Aggressive Tread Pattern is self-cleaning and provides traction in snow, slush, and mud.

ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO Features
- Twenty Eight well distributed tungsten carbide studs.
- TRANSITIONAL TRACTION™ - ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO are safe to wear on most indoor floors because the 1mm studs minimally protrude beyond the tread. Therefore, both the studs and the tread make contact with the surface.
- ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO are safe to wear while you're driving.
- Aggressive studs quickly penetrate the coldest, densest ice where less aggressive studs and spikeless ice cleats with wound steel coils fail.
- Tungsten carbide studs are far more durable than the carbon steel studs found on most competing products.
- The stud distribution guarantees that at least one aggressive stud will likely be in contact with the ground no matter how uneven the surface.
- The patented heel spikes are crucial because your heel is the first thing to strike the ground when you take a normal step. Heel spikes allow you to walk naturally. Many ice and snow traction devices force you to walk more flat-footed. Because walking flat-footed is not normal, you tend to forget. And one misplaced step can cause you to slip and fall.
- Spikes are not replaceable. But the mounting mechanism required with replaceable spikes makes them thicker and can cause discomfort for some people... like standing on marbles... especially over long periods of time. Permanently molded-in spikes are more secure therefor eliminating one more potential point of failure.
- Spikes at Front and Heel Spikes allow you to walk naturally. There are no special skills to learn.
- Aggressive, Self-Cleaning Treads provide traction in deep snow and slush while assuring studs stay in contact with icy surfaces.
- Versatile because ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO Ice Cleats
- fit over all types of shoes and boots;
- provide traction in all slippery winter conditions; and
- are safe to wear while driving.
- Patented Open Design
- stays securely on footwear, and
- is lightweight & compact.
- Strong Straps and several exclusive patented features keep ICE BEAST™ securely on footwear and properly aligned.
- Patented Dual Pull Tabs and a Proprietary Strap Material make ICE BEAST™ Ice Cleats easy to put on and take off even at extremely low temperatures.
- Bright Orange Color facilitates compliance monitoring.

LOW-PRO® HEEL Ice Cleats Features
LOW-PRO® Heel Ice Cleats
- reduce slips and falls on ice, snow, packed snow and black ice; and
- are low cost, compact, lightweight and fit all types of shoes and boots.
- insures compliance with company safety directives prohibiting wearing anything on footwear that might somehow inhibit operating foot controls while driving;
- fully exposes the defined heel on shoes and boots to make climbing ladders safer; and
- lastly, reduces the risk of slipping off foot rests while operating equipment, snowmobiles, ATVs, and the pedals while biking on snow and ice.
Use LOW-PRO® HEEL cleats with Transitional Traction™ if you're constantly driving and going in and out of doors. More aggressive heel-only ice cleats are not practical under these circumstances because you must remove them every time you go indoors. You must remove aggressive ice cleats because they'll damage the floor or be slippery on smooth, hard surfaces.
Use HEEL-GRIPS Ice Cleats if you're constantly driving and not frequently going indoors. The reason that I recommend HEEL-GRIPS in this situation is because they have 10 2mm Tungsten Carbide Studs for better traction.
Lastly, if you're constantly driving and going in and out of doors and not restricted from wearing full-sole ice cleats, I recommend Winter Walking LOW-PRO® Ice Cleats with Transitional Traction™.Strap-on heel ice cleats serve double duty.
They
- prevent the heel from slipping; and
- also, they have to provide sufficient traction to prevent your footwear from twisting, especially on uneven ice.

Employees Won't Resist Wearing LOW-PRO® HEEL
Most employees are under extreme pressure to remain on schedule. Naturally, having to stop and remove their ice cleats and then put them back on every time they transition in and out of doors is both frustrating and time-consuming. If you wonder how in the world they put with it, I have a news flash. They don't! Many times, they can't! However, the fact that they can safely wear the LOW-PRO® HEEL on most indoor floors and while driving decimates and often eliminates the problem. The employees are safer. Your lost-time accidents go down while productivity remains high.
