STABILicers Run Traction Ice Cleat for Snow & Ice, 1 pair

A year ago I slipped and fell on the ice and smacked the back of my head, so this winter I got these. They give excellent traction, and I can walk and even run in confidence on snow and ice. I've so far taken several tromps through the snow with these, walking and jogging in the woods, on icy roads, and over frozen swamps. They work great. They are kind of hard to get on your shoes. My feet are men's size 8 and a half, I wear these over running shoes (what we used to call sneakers), and the size medium (which is supposed to fit sizes 8-10), is hard to get on over my running shoes. Probably it has to be this way, that if they don't fit really tight they'll fall off? I don't know, one of mine fell off the first time I wore them, but now I use the velcro straps that are included, and have had no problems since. I'm leaving them on my shoes, so the next time I won't have to struggle putting them on. I recommend these, but they seem to run a bit small, and probably even more so if you plan to wear them over boots. The price might be high for anyone just looking for something for occasional or casual use, but they're pretty sturdy and worth the price if you do a lot of walking or running in the winter. One more thing: They add some weight to your feet, and on a long tromp you'll feel it.

These are made pretty well , but on my size 12 men's sneakers the large are really tight fitting and take some work to get them on. Not something I'd want to take off and put on often. The added weight is extremely noticeable and that is my biggest disappointment with these. I finally did a short google search on running ice cleats and found a wealth of information about using sheet metal screws on your sneakers. I picked up some #8 1/2 inch sheet metal screws and using my drill with the correct drill attachment, I screwed them right into the sole of my older sneakers. they are very solid and the minimal added weight isn't noticeable. Tried them out in the driveway and seem like they are going to be awesome. You can buy a pack of 100 of these screws for about 5 bucks. I put about 17 screws in each sneaker and with the drill they go in quick. If your sneakers have really thin soles near the toe end you can use slightly shorter screws there. If need be you can unscrew them after the winter season and your sneakers are back to normal and good to go. Kold Kutter atv traction screws of the same size should work well too.

Today, I ran approximately 5 miles with Stabilicers Sport Lightweight Serious Traction Cleat for the first time. The size small stretched to accommodate my size 8 women's running shoe (see pictures). It has a very snug fit... I did not feel the need to use the included velcro straps, and I did not have any issues with the cleat feeling loose or stretching during the run. The weight of the cleats did not affect my run; they are comfortably lightweight. I encountered light snow, ice, and patches of open pavement on my run, and I did not slip. I could hear studs "clicking" when I ran on open pavement. Why four stars? Considering the miles that I ran + road/sidewalk conditions... the studs do show signs of wear. If a runner plans to use them for "high milage" on a frequent basis, one should consider ordering the replacement studs. I am happy with the product, and plan to wear them again!

While intended for running, I bought these (and virtually every other popular ice cleat) for walking my ice-coated driveway to get to the mailbox. I put them over a zip-up short shoe boot and they fit well. I wouldn't doubt an athletic shoe would fit if you size it right. The replaceable "cleats" are small bolts, screwed in on the outside edges of the unit (the Lite version has "teeth" in the middle of the overshoe), but they ARE small bolts. So, you have just added the weight of a handful of bolts to each shoe. Which makes the workout better but judge for yourself. I also just used them for walking, but the unit is flexible enough for running. Because the cleats are on the edges of the sole, you may slide a bit before they grip if you're on an uneven surface, but walking on fairly smooth sheet-ice, I was fine, but they are heavy!Vs Stablicer Lite: The lite is lighter weight but has little tombstone-shaped teeth in the MIDDLE of the sole. I used this for 2 mile plus walks in snow/ice mix and they worked very well. Both go on and off fairly well, but not as easily as YakTrax. You are NOT walking on the retaining structure with the Stabilicers, and so the traction cleats are not wearing out the shoe retaining structure.Vs YakTrax Original. I prefer the Yaks for keeping in the car for emergencies since they are the easiest on/off and seem to fit the widest varieties of footwear. HOWEVER, in the YakTrax, you are walking on the web structure of the unit so when one of the stretchy rubber "webs" gets worn and breaks, the whole device fails OR at least the traction does. I didn't and wouldn't use YakTrax for distance or running unless you don't care that you have to repurchase when the structure fails. For just doing some shoveling or outdoor tasks, or for emergencies and frequent on/off, the YakTrax are ideal. The traction is metal-wrapped around the underfoot web and works very well.Vs YakTrax Sport: I sent them back; the toe pocket wouldn't hold a boot, shoe or running shoe and the whole front slipped off on the way to the mailbox, only the Velcro strap held the device on. In THEORY, they're great since they combine cleats in the front and YakTrax metal-wrapped coils under the heel, so they're light and grip well, but the way it fits on footwear has to be rethought.

While these have superb grip on even glass-like ice, I was a little disappointed by the way they behave on the shoe. I have tried them on three of my running shoes so far, and they tend to slide forward. The strap placement isn't ideal, and I had to rig my own system to keep them in place. It could be that the surfaces of my shoes were not grippy enough, but the heel basket stretches too much and allows the heel to creep forward, thereby allowing the toe basket to start to slide off. I vary between toe landing and flat landing on my feet, so I am pretty sure it wasn't due to a heel runner's technique. It also took some getting used to, feeling the cleats form pressure points on the bottom of my feet. But all in all, I feel like I can go out on the ice and run safely!

Great product, provides needed stability on ice and stays firmly in place on my running shoes (Note: this product does not fit over my winter boots).

Les clous sous le soulier sont quand même de bon diamètre, ce qui fait que l'adérence n'est pas toujours a son meilleur. Je suis quand même très satisfait de la qualité du produit. Je le recommande.

They are great on ice but dangerous on public floors! You slide...

Super pour ne pas glisser sur la neige ou le verglas. C'est ma deuxième paire de "sur chaussures" (la première achetée il y a 5 ans en Suède), et celle-ci semble super solide ! Spikes sous toute la semelle, alors qu'avant j'en avais seulement sous les talons. Objet à recommander ... Il vaut mieux les utiliser que de se casser le bras sur un parking verglacé (cela m'est arrivé)

exactement le produit que je souhaitais, et a bon prix. Apres quelques essais fait la job parfaitement
