What Makes LOW-PRO Different
Most ice cleats have to come off the moment you step inside or get into a vehicle. LOW-PRO doesn't. Its 26 low-profile tungsten carbide studs grip ice, packed snow, deep snow, slush, and black ice, and its patented Transitional Traction™ design lets you keep them on across most indoor floors and while driving. Put them on in the morning and leave them on.

Compare Winter Walking LOW-PRO with any recreational-grade cleat and the difference in build quality is visible before you put them on.
No ice cleat can guarantee you won't slip, but a few dollars more buys a significant reduction in risk, and your ice cleats only need to work once to be worth it. Professional-grade cleats also last about twice as long, so they cost less per winter than cheaper alternatives.

Why LOW-PRO Is Easier to Live With
Not only does LOW-PRO® ICE CLEAT provide industry-leading traction and safety on all slippery winter surfaces, but it also resolves the common issues that make ordinary ice cleats impractical and a hassle to use. Here's why:
You can often leave LOW-PRO ICE CLEATS on your footwear all day because you:
Can safely wear them indoors and while driving;
Get instant traction on all slippery winter surfaces (not just some);
Hardly notice they're on your shoes thanks to their lightweight design;
Are easy to carry because they're compact and foldable;
Offer great durability, ensuring long-lasting wear; and
Safely wear LOW-PRO indoors thanks to patented Transitional Traction™ Technology, which allows both the tread and studs to contact surfaces for grip on smooth floors without causing damage.
26 Tungsten Carbide Studs (1mm):
Deliver excellent traction on ice and black ice
Have more studs than any other stretch traction device
Are molded into the design for greater retention, durability, and comfort
1-piece molded synthetic straps:
Are extremely durable
Resist chemicals and contaminants
Have no memory and never stretch out of shape
Remain flexible at low temperatures
Feature a surface grip that prevents slipping out of alignment
Harder sole and heel material compared to the upper stretch portion means greater abrasion resistance and durability, while the upper offers more stretch.
Dimpled footbed grips the bottom of your shoe or boot, helping prevent slipping and keep the device securely in place.
Self-cleaning, aggressive tread pattern provides reliable traction in deep snow, slush, and mud.
Multiple ridges inside the heel strap help prevent the cleats from slipping off your heel during movement.
Easy On / Easy Off: Because...
Patented Dual Pull Tabs™: Make it easier to grip and stretch the cleats over your shoes or boots.
Patented Dual Density Construction™: Enhances flexibility and ease of stretching.
Uni-Foot Design: there is no left or right, so either cleat fits either foot.
Versatile and Ultra-Convenient: Because LOW-PRO...
Fits most shoes and boots
Provides traction on all slippery winter surfaces: ice, packed snow, deep snow, slush, and black ice
Safe to wear while driving: stay secure and comfortable behind the wheel
Molded-in spikes are more comfortable. Replaceable spikes need thick mounting hardware underfoot, which you start to feel after a while, a bit like standing on marbles.
They have fewer points of failure, so studs don't work loose and fall out the way replaceable ones can.
Worth knowing: molded-in studs can't be replaced, so once they wear down the cleats need replacing. In normal use that takes several seasons.
Why Stud Placement Matters
Spreading the studs across the whole sole means at least one of them reaches the ice on rough or uneven ground, which is exactly where footing is lost.
Why Heel and Toe Spikes Let You Walk Normally
Your heel lands first and your toe pushes off last, so that is where studs are needed. Traction devices without heel and toe spikes make you walk flat-footed, which is unnatural and easy to forget, and one forgetful step is all it takes.
Why Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide is several times harder than the steel used in coil-style traction devices, so the studs stay sharp and keep gripping for far longer.
LOW-PRO in Deep Snow
Aggressive, Self-Cleaning Treads
They bite into deep snow instead of riding on top of it.
They shed snow and debris as you walk. A clogged tread is no tread at all.
Staying clear lets the studs reach the ice underneath, which matters most when snow is lying on top of it.
Most competing ice cleats either
provide no traction in deep snow, or
actually reduce traction in deep snow because they block the treads on your shoes and boots.
Wearing LOW-PRO Indoors and While Driving
This is what patented Transitional Traction™ does. The 1mm studs barely extend past the tread, so with every step:
Both the studs and the tread make contact with surfaces, minimizing damage to most floors.
You get better grip on smooth, hard floors than longer-spike cleats give, since those can be genuinely slippery on tile and concrete.
You have firmer footing in the city: on sewer grates, utility covers, station floors, and the steps of buses and trains.
You can drive in them. The studs are too short to dig into the pedals, so your foot still moves cleanly between them.
Where to take them off: I don't recommend LOW-PRO on wood or household vinyl floors, and polished tile can be slippery, so step carefully or take them off.
What Makes LOW-PRO Durable
Ordinary ice cleats are made from one flexible material that wears out quickly. Winter Walking's Dual Material Construction uses two:
The treads are made from a tough, less-flexible material designed for superior wear resistance.
The spikes are molded directly into the stronger tread material for increased reliability.
The harder tread material is seamlessly bonded to the flexible upper straps, ensuring durability at every joint.
Why the Straps Matter
LOW-PRO features professionally engineered straps that ensure maximum traction and safety. Ice cleats can only perform effectively if they stay properly aligned and securely attached to your shoes or boots. Here's why LOW-PRO's straps excel:
Bell-Shaped Design: Covers the entire front of your shoe or boot, providing a secure fit that keeps the ice traction device firmly in place.
Flat Strap Design: Offers more surface contact than round or oval straps, increasing friction and preventing slippage during movement.
Proprietary Strap Material: Delivers excellent resistance to slipping and wear.
Patented Heel Ridge: Hooks between the heel and the upper part of your footwear, helping prevent the cleats from slipping off backward.
Easy to Put On and Take Off
Here's how to easily equip LOW-PRO on your shoes or boots:
Uni-Foot Design: No need to worry about left or right—one size fits all.
Place the toe of your shoe into the front strap.
Grab the two textured Dual Pull Tabs, a patented Winter Walking feature, and pull the heel strap back and over your heel.
Winter Walking's Dual Density Design makes that easier: the rubber between the toe and the heel is thinner where it takes less wear, so it stretches more readily over your footwear.
LOW-PRO FAQs
Do you sell ice cleats that provide better traction than LOW-PRO?
Yes and no. The LOW-PRO and the Winter Walking ICE BEAST™ LOW-PRO are the best combination of traction and convenience, because you can keep them on indoors and while driving. For ultimate grip on ice, snow, packed snow, slush, and black ice, our Winter Walking HIGH-PRO and ICE BEAST™ HIGH-PRO Ice Cleats with longer 2mm Tungsten Carbide Studs provide superior performance. However, longer studs may damage floors and can be more slippery on sewer grates and utility covers. It's a trade-off between maximum traction and convenience. If you don't mind taking your cleats off and putting them back on, the more aggressive models grip better. If you want to put them on once and forget about them, stay with LOW-PRO.
What if a store has a sign requiring customers to remove their ice cleats?
Take them off. It's their store and their policy, and it isn't worth an argument at the door. LOW-PRO is quicker to remove and put back on than most ice cleats, thanks to the Dual Pull Tabs, so it costs you a few seconds rather than a real hassle.
Are LOW-PRO ice cleats available in all black?
No. The bright color is deliberate: it lets a safety manager see at a glance who is wearing their cleats, and it makes a dropped cleat easier to find in the snow. If you want something less conspicuous, see the ALTRAGRIPS-LITE LOW PROFILE.
Where can I buy LOW-PRO Ice Cleats?
Right here. Winter Walking sells through industrial supply houses and online dealers, not in retail stores. Order from me and you get volume discounts, same-day order processing, fast USPS Priority and UPS shipping, free size exchanges, and someone who will help you get the size and the model right before you buy, and after.

5.00I absolutely love my new slip-resistant rubbers...
General Comments: I absolutely love my new slip-resistant rubbers. They are of the highest quality, beautifully made. They are very light weight to wear and super easy to put on yourself. I have trouble walking and they have given me great protection from falling on snow and ice. I have already recommended them to a number of people. They cost a little more than some other brands but more than worth it! You have a wonderful product and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants more security on snow and ice!
Patricia O. Milwaukee, WI 01/21/20
4.00These are easy to put on my boots
General Comments: These are easy to put on my boots and they work very well on ice and packed snow.
You need to take them off inside - they are very slippery on tile floors and could damage wood floors.
Ann M. Rochester, NY 01/21/20
Store Comments:
I do not recommend walking on wood floors and I try to emphasize that on my site. I was surprised to hear you found them slippery on tile floors.
5.00I think they're a good choice for occasional users...
General Comments: I wear the LOW-PRO when clearing snow off the driveway and sidewalk. The studs are less aggressive, so they're safe on the floor and easier to walk on outside. The trade-off is that they'll slip if there's enough snow on top of the ice. However, I've never actually gone down, as I did before I bought them. I think they're a good choice for occasional users, like me. The HIGH-PRO cleats are pretty long.
Jed D. West Bend, WI 01/19/20

4.00Provide good traction.
General Comments: The toes could be a bit larger for heavy steel toed winter boots. Provide good traction. I would not wear them on softer floors like wood or vinyl as they will still cause some damage.
Sean L. Timmins, ON 02/08/16
Store Comments:
I do not recommend walking on wood floors. I went back and modified the web pages to emphasize this as well warning against walking on non-commercial vinyl floors.
5.00I am sold on the LOW-PRO!
General Comments: As a mail carrier, I'm constantly walking outdoors on slippery sidewalks, but needed a cleat that would allow me to periodically walk in buildings also. These are the only cleats I found that makes this transition. I've recommended them to the other carriers in my office. This is the first season I've worn them and hope they continue to hold up well. Either way, I am sold on the LOW-PRO!

General Comments: I also own a pair of Yak-traks and they work great on ice but are extremely tough to put off and on and if you get on concrete with them it is almost worst than being on ice!
Kenneth D. Ramsey, MN 02/03/16
5.00I had no problem driving.
General Comments: These new ice cleats work well walking and jogging on steep hills covered with ice. As with all footwear, I knew I had to be more careful on less stable surfaces. Indoors, I used them yesterday on hard slippery tile. I walked with care as I knew having tiny metal points on the surface was dangerous. Again, with care, I had no problems. I keep them on my dog walking boots as long as winter and ice remains. They were snug to put on, but you need this to keep them on. I had no problem driving. However, I know wearing them over several winters would cause wear on my plastic floor mats. I'm not sure how they would do on carpet.
Robin H. Anchorage, AK 02/03/16
Store Comments:
I don't recommend LOW-PRO for jogging. I would instead recommend HIGH-PRO Ice Cleats with the longer 2mm studs.
5.00I am sold on the LOW-PRO!
General Comments: The staff at our company purchased the ice cleats and have spoken very highly of them.

Risk-Free Satisfaction Guarantee
Ice cleats are one of the few safety purchases that pay for themselves the first time they work. LOW-PRO costs a few dollars more than a recreational-grade cleat and lasts about twice as long, so it costs less per winter, and it is far more likely to hold when you need it.
Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee
If you don't agree that LOW-PRO is the most convenient ice cleat you've ever owned, send it back for a full refund. I'll pay the return freight.
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.
