GGS Ice Cleats for Shoes & Boots – Non-Slip, Mid-Sole Spikes with Adjustable Strap for Traction in Snow and Ice, Winter Hiking, Fishing, Walking, and Climbing, One Size

These cleats really made a difference after a storm dropped 8 inches of "snowcrete" in our area. That's an inch or two of powder, topped with 6" of sleet pellets, and coated with a lovely 1/4" freezing rain glaze. It was truly frictionless. And *strong* enough to hold a 350 pound neighbor without even creaking. It laughed at plastic snow shovels and salt, which unfortunately were the only tools *not* frozen into my very unreachable shed. I spent about nine hours over 3 days freeing myself, my driveway and my car using a metal-tipped cane to crack the surface and then poke through and lever this stuff apart enough to create what passed for a "path." The first two days, I had only a serious pair of work boots, the cane and a metal pole. I fell repeatedly. I slid down my driveway. I slid down my front lawn. I slid getting my car door open. On Day 3, my cleats arrived. (cue heavenly chorus and beams of golden light). -They're basically adjustable elastic straps holding a flexible plastic bar embedded with tungsten studs. (Similar to some snow tires.). - You slip them over the toe of your boot and tuck them back where the arch joins the heel. No need to buckle or snap anything. You *can* adjust the fit so they don't work their way loose. - Heading into the house or the car? Just reach down and flip the bar over so the studs face in toward your boot. - They work. Very well. Do they work as well as mountaineering crampons? Probably not. But - as my neighborhood has been glacier-free with no deep crevasses reported - they'll do just fine for my purposes. And they cost very little. So: Inexpensive. Easy to put on, take off, and switch easily from outdoor to indoor use. Durability? Too soon to say, but neither the straps, the bar, or the studs show any serious wear. A bargain from where I stand - solidly, without slipping.

Excellent. Need to be worn on boots with a bit of a heel, otherwise gives confidence while on ice.

Works well on boots slowly slips off with shoes but still works ok. After the nad fall i had, with these on I got my confidence back.

They eventually worked their way off the boot, requiring me to follow my steps back to retrieve them.

These ice cleats do a good job providing extra traction on icy and snowy surfaces. I felt noticeably more stable walking outside, especially on sidewalks and driveways. They’re fairly easy to put on and seem to stay in place once secured. That said, they can feel a bit awkward at first, especially on harder surfaces like concrete, and the fit might not be perfect for every type of shoe. Also, I wouldn’t recommend wearing them indoors as they can be slippery or uncomfortable. Overall, a solid option for winter use, but not perfect. Worth having for safety in icy conditions.
