5 5 / 5 Stars I could not have had a better company to do business with...
"It was the best experience both speaking with and purchasing from Nolan J. Noecker. I first called to inquire about them. Nolan was full of information. He made ordering, explaining and all facets of the order process just wonderful. I could not have had a better company to do business with. We will order again when we need these. They are a fabulous product.

We have given out his name and the company's name to many, and we've had many people look at our feet with the ice cleats on and want to know about them. They are fabulous. I have to say that they grip to everything. Ice & snow and sludge and truly one could dance on these weather dangerous elements wearing these ice cleats. We've had many compliments as well.

Nolan was a great customer service rep for this product. Johnny on the spot for sure. I talked to him about many things for this product. I can't say enough great about him, the ice cleats, the company, the website, all of it. Thank you, Nolan, for a great experience like I've not had in a very long time. You get 5 Stars for fabulous "customer service." , Canton, 01/03/18

  • Impact
  • Uneven Ice
  • Ability to Stay On and Aligned
  • Durability
  • Inspect Your ice cleats Before Use
When you run, the sudden impact places a increased demand on your ice cleats to grab hold quickly. Ice cleats that work perfectly well for walking may not be up to the job. Compare it to NASCAR where they use an entirely different tire than you would use for you family car. Because as any NASCAR driver will tell you, once you lose traction it's very hard to get it back. When talking about ice cleats you need an extremely aggressive stud design.
  • Sharper is better. Obviously the less the surface area of the actual stud against the ice the better it will be able to penetrate the ice. This is especially important in very cold temperatures when ice becomes far more dense and on black ice. The effectiveness of spikeless and gritted ice cleats is greatly reduced or totally eliminated on extremely cold, dense ice. Runners need every stud to be as effective as possible to maintain traction.
  • Tungsten carbide is far more durable than case hardened or carbon steel spikes.
  • Cylindrical Tungsten Carbide Studs are consistently at their sharpest throughout the life of the spike.
  • Generally speaking, the more studs on the ice cleats the better especially when they're intelligently placed over the entire bottom of the Ice Cleat. Many ice cleats concentrate the studs in a particular area or just around the periphery. This reduces the chance of the studs coming in contact with the ice especially when the ice is "bumpy" and uneven. Once you lose traction it's tough for the remaining studs to catch hold and get it back.

    It is possible to have too many studs because your weight will be distributed over too many points of contact thereby reducing the studs ability to penetrate the ice... the way people can lay on a bed of nails without getting hurt.
The ice you're about to land on may be uneven. So you want studs that are well-distributed over the entire tread so you're sure at least one stud hits the ice when you make initial contact. Otherwise you lose traction and again it's tough to get back even if other studs contact the ice after you start slipping. This also makes another case far having a very aggressive stud design because... no matter how the studs are distributed... only one stud may initially make contact with the ice. So it's important that this stud counts. Ice cleats with less aggressive stud designs that perform well on regular ice when more than one stud is contacting the ice may not stop you from falling on uneven ice.
If your ice cleat comes off even for one step you can go down. If the ice cleat slides out of position on your running shoes even well-positioned studs won't do you any good.
Nothing is harder on ice cleats than running especially if you frequently run on dry, non-ice and non-snow covered patches. This poses a conundrum...
  • Ice cleats with the most aggressive type of replaceable studs might be uncomfortable when worn on running shoes. I recommend people consider using RxSorbo Classic Sorbothane Insoles if you do have a problem. They're thin and won't crowd your feet. You should use them anyway to absorb shock to keep your feet and joints healthy.
  • Ice cleats with replaceable screws or studs that screw directly into you running shoes are less aggressive than sharp Tungsten Carbide Studs and subject to the potential problems mentioned earlier. The screws become less sharp and aggressive as they wear down. Tungsten carbide studs remain uniformly sharp throughout their useful life.
  • Ice cleats with non-replaceable Tungsten Carbide Studs like HIGH-PRO Ice Cleats are probably the best for preventing you from slipping on the ice. But when the studs wear down you have to replace the ice cleats.
You should inspect your ice cleats no matter what your planning to do. It just becomes a lot more important if you're planning to run with them. Look for missing, broken or worn down studs. In the case of steel coils, check for thin or broker wire which can catch your other pants leg and cause you to trip as well as compromise traction.

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

  1. You can go by the shoe sizes. However, the actual size of the shoe or boot can vary significantly for the same foot size. So 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 that 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 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.
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 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. If you're planning to use your ice cleats on heavier winter boots, choose the bigger size.

I'm planning to use the ice cleats on both 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 not only stay on your footwear but also stay 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.
