No One Ice Cleat Is Best for Every Senior
Getting caught unprepared on an icy sidewalk is a nightmare for older adults, because the consequences of a fall can be so serious. No ice cleat can guarantee you won't fall. My goal is to help you manage the risk and worry less, so you can get out and enjoy your life all winter.
The right ice cleats for you depend on:
whether you can bend over to put ice cleats on and take them off;
weakness in your hands from arthritis or other conditions;
whether you're recovering from surgery or a broken bone;
whether you face icy stairs or live on a steep hill;
where you live (city, suburb, or country) and what you'll do in them; and
how much risk you're willing to accept for convenience.
More than one in four older adults falls each year.
Older adult falls lead to about 4.5 million emergency department visits a year, and about 1.4 million of those result in a hospital stay.
Nearly 319,000 older adults are hospitalized for hip fractures each year.
Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries among older adults.
Ice Cleats Improve Seniors' Quality of Life
Many seniors stay home all winter for fear of slipping. They miss family events and doctor and dentist appointments, and sometimes can't get to the pharmacy for prescriptions. Don't let winter hold you hostage. Get the right ice cleats, then go outside and enjoy yourself.
Ice Cleat Features That Matter Most for Seniors
LOW-PRO®, ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO, HIGH-PRO®, and ICE BEAST™ HIGH-PRO all have:
Aggressive, well-positioned tungsten carbide studs that grip ice and black ice and stay effective in frigid temperatures, with at least one stud on the ice even on uneven surfaces.
Patented Heel Spikes and studs near the front, so you can walk naturally: your heel lands first and the front of your foot pushes off last.
Dual Pull Tabs™, so you can use both hands to stretch the ice cleat over your shoe, which helps a great deal with arthritis or weak hands.
Dual Density™ construction, with thinner straps in low-wear areas that are easier to stretch.
Aggressive, self-cleaning treads for loose snow, which keep snow from building up and holding the studs off the ice.
Strong straps that keep them securely on your footwear.
EASY SPIKE™ is a lower-cost option with carbon steel studs, one large pull tab, and studs near the heel rather than a true Heel Spike.
Best for Seniors Who Want to Put Ice Cleats On Once
You're not supposed to drive in ordinary ice cleats, so you have to take them off every time you get in the car and put them back on when you get out. That's a hassle, so many people don't wear ice cleats at all, or tell themselves, "I'm only walking from the car to the front door."
With Transitional Traction™, you can put your ice cleats on when you leave home and take them off when you return. They can be worn on most indoor floors and while driving, and they're less slippery on sewer grates and utility hole covers, which makes them the best choice if you live in or visit the city. That's why they're so popular with seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone with limited mobility.
Best for Seniors Who Can Easily Put Ice Cleats On and Off
These give the best possible traction on ice and every slick winter surface. They're the right choice if you don't have trouble putting ice cleats on and taking them off, don't need to wear them indoors or while driving, and don't live or work in the city.
EASY SPIKE™ fits over most types of shoes and boots.
Sizes are for regular shoes or sneakers.

Questions About Ice Cleats for Seniors
What are the best ice cleats for senior citizens?
It depends on where you live, how you'll use them, how often you need them, and above all your physical limitations. Most seniors find ice cleats hard to put on and take off, so I usually recommend LOW-PRO, which you can wear on most indoor floors and while driving. If you want the best possible traction and putting them on isn't a problem, I recommend HIGH-PRO.
Should I add ankle straps?
Most people don't need them, but they're worth considering for seniors, because retrieving an ice cleat that has come off and putting it back on can be very difficult, depending on the circumstances.
Can I order by phone?
Yes. Call me at 610-670-2549. I'll ask a couple of questions to make sure you get the ice cleats that will keep you safest, and I can take your order over the phone.
Not sure which ice cleats are right for you or a loved one?

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ice Cleat Ankle Straps
Winter Walking Ice Cleats fit securely on most shoes and boots. Most people do not need or use the Ankle Strap. However, Ankle Straps add an additional level of comfort, knowing your ice cleats will stay on your footwear. It's more critical to consider Ankle Straps if you
walk through deep snow (especially wet snow), snow with a crusted surface, or mud because Winter Walking Ice Cleats are so comfortable that you may not notice one is missing until you've traveled some distance or, even worse, slip and fall; or
plan to wear them while you're using a snowblower because of the twisting often required while making a tight turn; and
are a senior citizen or a person with disabilities because retrieving an ice cleat that has come off and putting it back on your footwear might be almost impossible depending on the circumstances.
Ice Cleats and Shoe Attachment Volume Discounts
Your discounts are
automatically calculated when you add ice cleats or shoe traction devices to your cart;

not calculated on accessories like Ankle Straps or Replacement Spikes.
What Free Ice Cleats Size Exchanges Means
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
We do not charge you additional freight to send out the correct size(s).
The customer is responsible for the freight to return the incorrect size(s).
Lastly, we immediately send out the correct size(s) so you're protected as soon as possible.
This policy is consistent with and exceeds competing stores Free Exchanges policies. If you have questions, please call me at 610-670-2549.
The last thing I want is for you to be disappointed in your purchase or feel that I mislead you or treated you unfairly. So, in the unlikely event you're not totally satisfied with your ice cleats or shoe traction devices purchased from me, I'll refund your money and pay for the return freight. Call me at 610-670-2549.
My satisfaction guarantee is unconditional. However, I'll ask you why you're not satisfied because I want to know if
there's a problem with a product I'm selling; and if
I can improve the description and presentation to avoid future misunderstandings and problems.
