Non-Sparking and not just Spark-Resistant like many competing gritted ice cleats and shoe traction devices.
Non-Sparking means they will not create a spark, period.
Spark-Resistant means that they could, under certain circumstances, create a spark.
Ask anyone who works around natural gas, explosives, or grain elevators if that's a critical reason to choose Non-Sparking GRIPS-LITE; and
the longest-lasting and most dependable gritted ice cleats and shoe traction device attachments because they use exclusive, proven, and self-renewing aluminum-oxide bands;
lastly, amazingly versatile giving you traction on most slippery surfaces.
Non-Sparking Ice Cleats With Industry-Leading Benefits
GRIPS-LITE Are Ideal for the Oil & Gas Industry, Electric Utilities, and Around Explosives and Grain Elevators
That's because aluminum oxide is both Non-Sparking and Non-Conductive. GRIPS-LITE are far safer than competing shoe traction devices that are only spark-resistant.
You Can Wear Winter Walking GRIPS-LITE Indoors, Outdoors, and While Driving
Therefore, you can put GRIPS-LITE on and keep them on. Employees constantly transitioning in and out of doors are more efficient. Your risk of injuries is reduced still further because people are more likely to use practical and convenient tractions devices.
Note: If the primary consideration is finding ice cleats you can safely wear on most indoor floors; spark suppression and non-connectivity are not issues; and the indoor floors are not made slippery by oil and grease, Winter Walking LOW-PRO or Winter Walking ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO Ice Cleats are a better choice. That's because LOW-PRO and ICE BEAST LOW-PRO provide far superior performance on ice, packed snow, deep snow, slush and black ice than gritted ice cleats.
Employees are more productive if they don't have to constantly be putting on and taking off their shoe traction devices.
You get superior traction to any rubber sole shoes and boots because aluminum-oxide bands work like sandpaper giving you thousands of traction points to grip slick surfaces.
Versatile Traction
You can
use one traction device for traction on a variety of slippery conditions found in the same work area;
use GRIPS-LITE indoors and outdoors; and
lastly, wear them when you drive or operate equipment.
(1) Gritted Footwear becomes less effective on ice at extremely low temperatures when ice is more dense.
You Won't Find More Durable Gritted Traction Devices
Winter Walking GRIPS-LITE are longer-lasting than competing gritted traction devices because they use thicker aluminum-oxide bands instead of just one single layer of grit. The bands renew themselves as they wear down and give you optimum traction over the life of the product.
Straps Last Longer Than on Competing Products
because the straps
are made from a tough proprietary rubber compound that resists exposure to harsh chemicals; and
have no memory so they continue to fit snugly over your footwear.
GRIPS-LITE Are Easier to Put on Than Competing Gritted Shoe Attachments
Here's why.
Straps are made from a rubber compound that stays flexible a low temperatures.
Patented Dual Pull Tab™ system allows you to get a better grip. It's great for anyone and especially for people with weakness in the hands or certain other medical disabilities.
They're uni-foot eliminates identifying right or left. Just grab one and put it on either shoe.
Stay Securely on and Aligned on Your Footwear
That's because
Straps are strong and don't stretch out of shape.
The patented front bell-shaped design provides a wide surface area that snugly fits over the entire front of your shoes or boots.
The inside of the patented heel strap has a ridge that catches between the bottom of the heel and the upper heel. The ridge keeps the back from slipping off the back.
No stretch-over shoe traction device can guarantee they won't come off especially in deep wet snow. The optional Ankle Strap prevents this from happening.

GRIPS-LITE FAQs
What's the difference between Non-Sparking and Spark-Resistant?
Grips-Lite are Non-Sparking which means your they will never, under any conditions, cause a spark. Spark-resistant means that, while your shoe traction device will probably not generate a spark, a spark could happen under some circumstances.
If you're working around explosives, natural gas, in a munitions or fireworks factory, or grain elevator you obviously want a Non-Sparking ice cleat or shoe traction device.
The rough grit wore down and became smooth very quickly. Aren't GRIPS-LITE supposed to be durable?
Winter Walking GRIPS-LITE are supposed to lose that rough grit. You're specifically instructed to wear them and slide them on a sidewalk to remove that rough grit for safety purposes. The aluminum oxide strips create traction at a micro-particle level.
Do you recommend Winter Walking GRIPS-LITE Ice Cleats for consumers for everyday traction on ice and snow?
No. I only recommend gritted ice cleats in situations where you can't use ice cleats with aggressive tungsten carbide studs because of Non-Sparking or Non-Conductivity requirements. Ice cleats with tungsten carbide studs are far more effective at reducing slips and falls. Furthermore, gritted ice cleats become ineffective
in frigid temperatures when ice is more dense, and

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice
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)
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.
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 when you receive them for two reasons.
You want to be ready for the bad weather. Be sure to find out you need a size exchange before the ice is on the ground.
I can't do free size exchanges for ice cleats that you have 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 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?
Nope. It's accurate most of the time. Measuring is far superior to go by shoe size.
Ice Cleat Ankle Straps
Winter Walking Ice Cleats fit securely on most shoes and boots. Most people do not need or use the Ankle Strap. However, Ankle Straps add an additional level of comfort, knowing your ice cleats will stay on your footwear. It's more critical to consider Ankle Straps if you
walk through deep snow (especially wet snow), snow with a crusted surface, or mud because Winter Walking Ice Cleats are so comfortable that you may not notice one is missing until you've traveled some distance or, even worse, slip and fall; or
plan to wear them while you're using a snowblower because of the twisting often required while making a tight turn; and
are a senior citizen or a person with disabilities because retrieving an ice cleat that has come off and putting it back on your footwear might be almost impossible depending on the circumstances.
