No Shoes Provide the Traction of Ice Cleats

Ice on SidewalkNo rubber, special compound, or leather sole shoe or boot without embedded studs, regardless of tread design, provides a fraction of the gripping power of almost any ice cleats.Ice Cleats are superior because traction on ice requires penetration. Some shoes have a special tread design and proprietary compounds that provide improved traction on ice compared to ordinary shoes and boots. However, the traction is does not compare to studded ice cleats. Furthermore, non-aggressive approached to traction on ice becomes far less effective
  • in frigid temperatures when ice becomes denser;
  • when ice is wet; or
  • lastly, there's a thin layer of snow on top of the ice.

Footwear with Spikes Are Terrible Everyday Shoes

People looking for shoes that grip ice are usually looking for shoes and boots they can wear every day as opposed to shoes to wear just when there is ice on the ground. You already know the shoes without spikes provide only a fraction of the protection from falls of studded ice cleats. Unfortunately, footwear with spikes are terrible everyday shoes. Here's why.
  • Studs, screws, and spikes they damage most indoor floors. There, you have to take studded footwear off before going indoors. What do you put on now? Do you want to carry a second pair of shoes? Permanently studded footwear isn't practical.
  • Studs can be slippery on smooth dry surfaces like tiled, marble, or cement indoor floors. Even if you could leave studded footwear on, spiked shoes or boots create a new slip and fall hazard. Ice cleats with wound steel coils are ridiculously dangerous on any type of dry smooth surface.
  • Using shoes with any type of cleat, even the most durable studs made from tungsten carbide, will quickly wear down if you constantly walk on bare, non ice or snow covered surfaces. Studded shoes and boots are not practical to wear every day. So what do you do? Do you have to carry the studded footwear with you in case of bad weather?

Traction Sprays for Shoes and Boots

There are sprays that supposedly make shoes grip ice better. Reviews are mixed at best. But lets assume they work. This is an extremely non-aggressive approach. This would work best if the ice is perfectly smooth. That's because you need every possible point of contact to grip the ice. The cumulative traction provided by the entire surface of the sole treated with this type of spray provides a tiny fraction of the grip provided by just one aggressive, well-designed stud on an actual Ice Cleat. It's not for walking over rough ice when surface contact with the slippery surface can be very small. The effectiveness of all non aggressive traction approaches also diminishes as temperatures drop because ice becomes more dense.

The best shoes for walking on ice are those with a high quality stretch-over ice cleats. That way you can use regular shoes for every day use and always be prepared for icy pavements and parking lots.

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

  1. You can go by the shoe sizes. However, the shoe or boot size can vary significantly for the same foot size. 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, which 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.

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 a 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. Choose the bigger size if you plan to use your ice cleats on heavier winter boots.

I plan to use the ice cleats on 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 stay on your footwear and 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?
