Considerations When Shopping for Ice Cleats for Seniors
No ice cleats can absolutely guarantee you won't fall on ice. I can only recommend ice cleats I sincerely believe are the best to minimize your risk of falling given your unique circumstances. Our goal is to manage your risk and reduce your worry so you'll be able to function and "enjoy your life" during the winter months.
No One Ice Cleat Brand or Model is Best for Every Senior Citizen
The common goal for all elderly people is fall prevention. But choosing the best ice cleats can't be generalized for all senior citizens because the best choice depends on
- your physical capabilities and limitations including
- your ability to bend over to put on and take off your ice cleats;
- weakness in your hands caused by arthritis and other conditions that make it difficult to put ice cleats on your shoes and boots; and
- recovery from surgeries or broken bones.
- how much risk of falling you're willing to assume for the sake of convenience;
- extenuating circumstances including
- icy stairs, or
- you live on a steep hill;
- the activities they plan to do while wearing ice cleats;
- where you live (urban, suburban, or rural).
Why Falls on Ice are So Serious for Senior Citizens
According to the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society:
- Falling is the leading cause of accidental death and a sixth leading cause of deaths in older people > 65 in the United States.
- Approximately 20% of falls in the elderly require emergency medical attention, 30% to 50% of these result in hospitalization.
- 5% to 10% of falls in seniors results in serious soft tissue damage, 3% to 5% in skeletal fracture, and 1% to 2% in hip fracture.
- A fall precedes 90% of hip fractures and 25% to 40% of vertebral compression fractures.
- If an elderly person has low bone mineral density, the risk of hip fracture resulting from a fall is tripled.
- The personal, family, and societal consequences of fractures in seniors, particularly hip fracture, can be devastating. Therefore, fall prevention is an important facet of any osteoporotic fracture reduction scheme.
Ice Cleats Improve Seniors' Quality of Life
Ice cleats provide more freedom of movement and keep elderly people healthier. Many seniors confine themselves to their homes during the winter months because of the fear of slipping on the ice. Seniors miss family events, important doctor and dentist appointments, and often can't get to the drug store to pick up crucial prescriptions.
Crucial Ice Cleats Features for Seniors
All top recommended ice cleats, including LOW-PRO, ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO, HIGH-PRO, and ICE BEAST™ HIGH-PRO have
- Aggressive, well-positioned Tungsten Carbide Studs provide excellent traction on ice including black ice and remain effective in frigid temperatures. Well-distributed spikes assure that at least one stud contacts the ice on uneven surfaces. Note: EASY SPIKES™ uses Carbon Steel studs.
- Patented Heel Spikes and spikes positioned close to the front of the ice cleat allow you to walk naturally. That's because your heel is the first thing to strike the ground when you take a natural step and the front of your footwear is the last as you push off. Not: EASY SPIKES do not have a true Heel Spike although the studs are positioned close to the base of the heel.
- Dual Pull Tabs - You can use two hands to stretch the ice cleat over your boots and shoes. Dual Pull Tabs are especially useful for people with weakness in their hands or who have arthritis. Note: EASY SPIKE has one large pull tab.
- Dual Density Construction - The straps are thinner in non-wear areas so they're easier to stretch over shoes and boots.
- Aggressive Self-Cleaning Treads - provide traction in loose snow. The Self-Cleaning feature prevents snow and debris from building up on the bottom of your shoe and boot that would prevent the studs from contacting the ice.
- Dual Material Design - The treads are molded using a harder material for greater wear and stud retention.
- Industry Leading Strap Design - Keeps your ice cleats securely on you footwear.

Best Ice Cleats for Seniors with Physical Disabilities, Limited Mobility, or Live in the City
You can put these ice cleats with TRANSITIONAL TRACTION™ on when you leave your home and take them off when you return because they're
- safe to wear on most indoor floors and while driving; and
- the best ice cleats for people who live, work, or commute into the city because they're less slippery on sewer grates, utility hole covers, and safe to wear while riding on and getting on and off mass transit.
You're not supposed to drive while wearing ordinary ice cleats. That means you have to take them off every time you get into your car and put them back on when you get out.
Depending on your trip, that's a lot of putting on and taking off. It's a hassle. So many people won't wear ice cleats. Other people will reason that "I'm only walking from the car to the front door, so I'll be alright".
TRANSIONAL TRACTION ice cleats the hassle and inconvenience, and that's why they're so popular with seniors.
Winter Walking LOW-PRO Ice Cleats
LOW-PRO is my top recommendation for people with regular shoes and boots constantly going in and out of doors, vehicles, or have difficulty putting ice cleats on and taking them off. LOW-PRO is safe to wear while driving and on most indoor floors without damaging them. So you can often leave LOW-PRO Ice Cleats on your shoes and boots all day.

ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO Features
- Twenty Eight well distributed tungsten carbide studs.
- TRANSITIONAL TRACTION™ - ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO are safe to wear on most indoor floors because the 1mm studs minimally protrude beyond the tread. Therefore, both the studs and the tread make contact with the surface.
- ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO are safe to wear while you're driving.
- Aggressive studs quickly penetrate the coldest, densest ice where less aggressive studs and spikeless ice cleats with wound steel coils fail.
- Tungsten carbide studs are far more durable than the carbon steel studs found on most competing products.
- The stud distribution guarantees that at least one aggressive stud will likely be in contact with the ground no matter how uneven the surface.
- The patented heel spikes are crucial because your heel is the first thing to strike the ground when you take a normal step. Heel spikes allow you to walk naturally. Many ice and snow traction devices force you to walk more flat-footed. Because walking flat-footed is not normal, you tend to forget. And one misplaced step can cause you to slip and fall.
- Spikes are not replaceable. But the mounting mechanism required with replaceable spikes makes them thicker and can cause discomfort for some people... like standing on marbles... especially over long periods of time. Permanently molded-in spikes are more secure therefor eliminating one more potential point of failure.
- Spikes at Front and Heel Spikes allow you to walk naturally. There are no special skills to learn.
- Aggressive, Self-Cleaning Treads provide traction in deep snow and slush while assuring studs stay in contact with icy surfaces.
- Versatile because ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO Ice Cleats
- fit over all types of shoes and boots;
- provide traction in all slippery winter conditions; and
- are safe to wear while driving.
- Patented Open Design
- stays securely on footwear, and
- is lightweight & compact.
- Strong Straps and several exclusive patented features keep ICE BEAST™ securely on footwear and properly aligned.
- Patented Dual Pull Tabs and a Proprietary Strap Material make ICE BEAST™ Ice Cleats easy to put on and take off even at extremely low temperatures.
- Bright Orange Color facilitates compliance monitoring.
