These worked for about a week of daily use. Then they randomly fall off my boots with out me realizing it. The lack of adheasiveness of the rubbor ovee the sole of my boots caused several slips and falls on ice.

Love these grippers. They work wonderfully well. Years ago when I first bought them we had a snowstorm followed by ice. I actually was able to run on the ice which was actually cool. Bought some for my mail carrier back then and for my new mail carrier when I moved. Perfect for anyone who needs to walk on ice.

These are a game changer for winters in Buffalo. We've had icy conditions for 3 weeks now and I would have died 4 times had I not been wearing these. I got blue...cute look with black dress shoes. These go on fast, stay put and you can remove them just as easily. Get them....your butt will thank you!

I bought these two winters ago for use in NE rural Ohio. I haven't used them a lot, but when I have used them, they've been good. We just had an ice storm, with everything completely covered in ice for the past 2 days. I don't have sidewalks or a paved walkway or drive, so it's a real challenge just to get from the house to the car. These things work GREAT! And they fit over a number of diffferent boots, including my muck boots. I am SO glad I had them for this nasty ice. Very impressive footing and a really affordable price!

I have tried several kinds, settled on these, been using these for over 8 years. Don't know why these are now labelled "ice climbing" as they don't tie onto boots, or why they're way down in the search results. The bottom has small rubber bumps that are as long as the cleats and provide grip on a hard floor (see pic), so when I go into a store, or my house entrance way, with tile floors I can leave them on as they don't slip. I like orange as that let's me know they are on my boots when I go out, so I never forget to put them on (I'm over 80 with a bad memory).

Walk on ice...or the snow hiding the ice beneath...with confidence. They only take a few seconds to slip on! Like similar products, it takes a bit of getting used to walking in them...as in, a few minutes, just because it feels a bit odd. But that does not mean they're difficult to walk with. The complete opposite...they're easy, and the confidence they provide when walking on ice and packed snow will have you wishing you had a pair eons ago! I had a similar product...no comparison. That set had tiny spikes that used to get caught in my entrance way rug, and offered nothing comparable in the way of ice support. Get a pair now...could save your neck!

I really like these. Easy to put on, even on the trail. They are very stable and don’t slip on ice or snow. They’re also comfortable and work well on rock and frozen dirt which is important if you’re hiking on a trail with a mixture of hard dirt & rock (lower elevation) and snow & ice (higher elevation). They do run small - I wear men’s size 11 boots and the XL is just right and fits tightly - L would’ve been too small.

These ice grippers seem to be well made. I agree with another reviewer that they are challenging to put on. I'm 66 years old and I had to really put a lot of effort into getting them on my shoe! My running shoes are a wide fit size 11.5 women's. I guess the good news is that I don't think they'll be slipping off of my feet which is a good thing!

Large, tall and heavy older Marine with a steep driveway I've slipped on in the snow operating an 85# snow thrower that is not self-propelled --- despite my best efforts and boot selection. I have a known back issue and have gone through severe pain for months because of it. I CANNOT afford another slip and fall on my driveway and I can't afford to pay someone else to do it.The weight of the Honda snow thrower is not the issue, the steep slick driveway is!I saw these here on Amazon and thought of 10 things that could go totally sour using these, and waste my very limited money. I looked and compared the other options and came back to these, crossed my fingers and ordered them. Got them and sure enough, 9" of snow 2 days later. Strapped em on over my size 14 tennis shoe and out I go into the tundra. They worked great!! No slipping pulling or pushing the machine up OR down the cement drive way.I put these on over the tennis shoes, did the snow and shoveled the steps, and took them back OFF the shoes so they were not stretched needlessly during storage.Another snow, same thing. Not ONE slip or feeling unstable. The rubber material is strong, fits my 14 EEE (Wide) tennis shoes fine, though I'm not sure I'd try to go much bigger. They say up to size 15 and that would be it. Be SURE to keep these out of sunlight or near heat or you will ruin them! You can do wood steps wearing them but I would avoid using them in the house on wood as they will dimple the wood some. On either side of the metal tips is bumpers to keep your full weight off the metal tips or tines, but allow enough weight to get them engaged with the cement perfectly. Nicely thought out design.I have a standard size driveway and steps/sidewalk, and used these twice now (about 1.5 hour real time using these in action, and the rubber that was stretched over the shoes looks like new, the hardened metal tips on the bottom Do show some wear but are still 95% and they are NOT BENT!! Nice surprise. The metal tips show minor wear but remember my weight! I was concerned I would just bend them over making these useless. Not ONE tine or tip looks to be bent at all. Sweet.I see on their web site they have several models, and as these near the end of their life span, I'll get the next model up that is built just a little more heavy duty in the rubber strapping's, but appears to use the same identical metal tip assemblies molded into the bottoms. I would think at this rate of wear, I should get 3 average winters out of them at about 4-5 snows per year here in Omaha. Maybe 4-5 years.That makes these cost like $5 PER YEAR!! That's a great value compared to slipping and falling once, blowing my back out or breaking a hip or some other part I would like unbroken. If you are reading this, look like a former NFL lineman like I do, then wonder no more. Try these OR their next build up and I doubt you would regret your purchase. If you are a normal weight person, these and their metal tips that catch on the bumps in the cement could last you a decade, IF you keep them out of the sun when they are not in use. This kind of rubber (almost any kind of rubber, actually) and sun do not like each other.Go for it! I got the blue ones. Very happy with my purchase, and don't dread blowing the snow and almost enjoy it now that I don't fear falling.

These are very undersized. I wear a 9.5 mens and I need an XL. I ordered XL and were shipped L but I got them on my shoe. The L and XL are only marginally different in size as shown in another reviewers photos. When putting these on the shoe I would suggest doing so with the shoe in hand not on your foot. Put the toe on first then grab just in front of the heel cleats and pull to the rear and pull tab at rear over the heel completing the task. I do not think these would stand up to repeated installation, the rubber feels like it would fail so I keep these on a pair of shoes for slippery conditions. That said - These work very well! I recently had surgery and wanted something to assure me of better traction in an Upstate NY winter. These fit the bill very well, I feel very confident on ice ( I have used them on ice and they work really well).Update: 2 years of use and they are still running strong. I would like to restate that I leave these installed on a pair of shoes so they are not on and off all the time. They show very little wear and still grip great. This winter we have had many more ice conditions than average and these have saved my bacon more than once I am sure. I have to say that I read a couple of low star reviews and have to think that they are either bogus or for the wrong product. These absolutely grip on ice, they do not slip! The real negatives are: Much smaller than their chart implies, tough to don and doff, and if used on hard smooth surfaces like polished concrete, ceramic tile, metal they slip a lot - if you think about this it makes sence. You can tell that I'm a big fan, it's not often that a product works as well as advertised so that and Made in USA are big pluses for me. Still docking 1 star as the stated sizing is so far off. For the life of me I cant see why they just don't make add a larger size to the lineup, a no brainer to me, most of the lower ratings would disapear....
