Winter Walking GRIPS-LITE non-sparking traction on work boots

Why Ordinary Ice Cleats Are a Hazard Around Oil and Gas

Conventional ice cleats with metal spikes or coils create real hazards in drilling, fracking, refining, storage, and transport:

  • Sparks. Metal spikes and coils are conductive and can cause sparks. Beware of footwear advertised as spark-resistant, which can still generate a spark under the right circumstances. GRIPS-LITE™ are non-sparking, so they won't generate a spark under any circumstances. Learn the difference between non-sparking and spark-resistant.
  • Metal surfaces and ladders. Metal spikes, and coils especially, can be extremely slippery on the bare metal decks, stairs, and ladders found around drilling rigs. GRIPS-LITE™ give you traction on exposed metal and don't interfere with climbing ladders safely.
  • Oil, grease, chemicals, and water. Many surfaces around drilling and fracking operations are covered with them, and conventional ice cleats don't help. GRIPS-LITE™ give you traction on all of these, in any combination, as well as on ice and snow.

Who in Oil and Gas Uses GRIPS-LITE™

  • Exploration, drilling, and fracking crews
  • Refinery and storage workers
  • Fuel transport and delivery drivers
  • Refueling operations
  • Workers on the loading dock
  • Anyone doing frequent yard checks
  • Anyone walking outside between plant facilities
  • Mechanics and maintenance crews

Because GRIPS-LITE™ can be worn indoors, outdoors, and while driving or operating equipment, workers can put them on and leave them on. That makes them more productive, and far more likely to actually wear them.

*Gritted footwear becomes less effective on ice at extremely low temperatures, when ice is denser.

Why GRIPS-LITE™ for oil and gas:

  • Aluminum oxide grit is both non-sparking and non-conductive
  • Thicker grit bands, not a single layer, renew themselves as they wear, for the longest life of any gritted traction device
  • Straps made from a tough rubber compound that resists harsh chemicals, stays flexible in the cold, and never stretches out of shape
  • A patented bell-shaped front and a ridged heel strap keep them aligned and on your boots
  • Easy on and off with patented Dual Pull Tabs™ and Dual Density™ Design, and no left or right
  • Under 4 oz. per shoe; sizes S to XXL

Gritted traction reduces slips and falls by about 40 to 50 percent, far better than any rubber sole. If your work doesn't require non-sparking or non-conductive footwear and your floors aren't oily, studded ice cleats like LOW-PRO® or ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO perform far better on ice, snow, and black ice.

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

  1. You can go by the shoe sizes. However, the shoe or boot size can vary significantly for the same foot size. Option two below is a better way to select the correct size.
    (OR)
  2. Measure the length of your shoe or boot. Measure the bottom from the tip of the sole to the base of the heel. Measure on "the flat", don't wrap around. We want the length. Then, find the size on the sizing chart with the Footwear Length Range, which spans the length of your footwear. Measure carefully. Measure twice. Our goal is to get you the right size on the first try to make you as safe as possible as soon as possible.
Ice cleats sizes are unisex and fit men's and women's shoes and boots according to the sizing charts.
Always try your ice cleats on when you receive them for two reasons.
  1. You want to be ready for the bad weather. Be sure to find out you need a size exchange before the ice is on the ground.
  2. I can't do free size exchanges for ice cleats that you have used because I can't resell them.
FAQs

What should I do if the length of my shoe or boot is extremely close to the breakpoint of a size range? Should I choose the next larger size? For example, assume the length of your boot or shoe is just under 12½". You look at the specific size chart for ice cleats you're buying. Assume for this example the Medium has a size range of 11½" to < 12½" and a Large is 12½" to < 13" For regular shoes and work shoes, stick with the smaller of the two sizes you're considering. Choose the bigger size if you plan to use your ice cleats on heavier winter boots.

I plan to use the ice cleats on my shoes and boots. But they're different lengths. What should I do?
If the difference in length is small, order the size for the larger boots. Purchase the optional Ankle Strap to use when you use the ice cleats on your shoes. The ankle strap will make sure they stay on. If the difference in length is significant, you may need two sizes of ice cleats. That's because you want the ice cleats to be snug so they stay on your footwear and aligned.

I have a large company. There's no way I can measure everyone's footwear.
I understand. Go by shoe sizes. I'll be happy to exchange sizes later on. However, please make sure you haven't used the ice cleats outdoors.

Is the measuring technique 100% accurate?
Nope. It's accurate most of the time. Measuring is far superior to go by shoe size.
 

ICE BEAST Ice Cleats Sizing Tips

ICE BEAST Ice Cleats run large. Therefore, if you have a normal winter boot and your shoe size is close to the minimum of a size range, choose the next smaller size. If you have a large, bulky boot, stick with the size chart.
Ice cleats sizes are unisex and fit men's and women's shoes and boots according to the sizing charts.
Always try your ice cleats on as soon as you receive them for two reasons.
  1. You want to be ready for the bad weather. Don't wait until the ice is on the ground to find out you need a size exchange.
  2. I can't do free size exchanges for ice cleats that have been used because I can't resell them.
