Winter Walking Heel-Only Strap-On Ice Cleats

Use strap-on heel-only ice cleats when full size ice cleats are not an option. This would include situations whereby limiting the cleats to the heel section of shoes or boots

insures compliance with company safety directives prohibiting wearing anything on footwear that might somehow inhibit operating foot controls while driving;
fully exposes the defined heel on shoes and boots to make climbing ladders safer; and
lastly, reduces the risk of slipping off foot rests while operating equipment, snowmobiles, ATVs, and the pedals while biking on snow and ice.

Choose Winter Walking HEEL-GRIPS™ Ice Cleats with 26 2mm tungsten carbide studs if you're not constantly going in and out of doors. That's because you have to remove HEEL-GRIPS before going indoors because of the longer spikes will damage interior floors and are slippery on smooth, hard surfaces.

Choose Winter Walking LOW-PRO® HEEL with 26 1mm tungsten carbide studs if you're constantly going in and out of doors because they're safe to wear on most interior floors.

HEEL-GRIPS Ice Cleats Features

"When you wear heel-only ice cleats, you're relying on far fewer studs for traction. This is no time to go for bargain brands because everything, both the straps and the studs, needs to be top-notch and totally reliable. When you choose Winter Walking HEEL-GRIPS® Ice Cleats, you're assured that you've chosen the best, industry-leading, practical, and professional-quality ice cleats. Here's why."

Winter Walking Heel Ice Cleats Demo

Strap-on Heel Ice Cleats serve double duty because they

prevent the heel from slipping; and
also, they have to provide sufficient traction to prevent your footwear from twisting, especially on uneven ice.

This is why you'll appreciate the professional quality features Winter Walking has incorporated into HEEL-GRIPS® Ice Cleats. It's the culmination of over 40 years of experience in manufacturing industry-standard professional ice cleats. HEEL-GRIPS stand out from the competition. You'll get the best possible traction from a Heel Ice Cleat because of

there are 14 Well-Distributed 2mm Tungsten Carbide Studs - five on each Heel Grip;
Tungsten Carbide Studs are the hardest and most durable far exceeding the life of carbon steel studs found in most competing products;
the Stud Design assures that they will remain equally aggressive and effective throughout the life of your HEEL-GRIPS.
Well-Positioned Studs assure the maximum number of studs will make contact on uneven ice;
the studs are molded in to ensure maximum reliability and durability;
an Aggressive, Self-Cleaning Tread ensures better traction in deep snow and a better chance that studs will make contact with ice;
Straps easily and quickly adjust for use on all your footwear including bulky boots;
HEEL-GRIPS Add No Noticeable Weight to your footwear because each Heel Grip weighs less than 4oz.; and
lastly, you'll always have them with you because HEEL-GRIPS easily fit in your pocket or glove compartment.

Use outdoors only.

LOW-PRO® HEEL Ice Cleats Features

LOW-PRO® Heel Ice Cleats

reduce slips and falls on ice, snow, packed snow and black ice; and
are low cost, compact, lightweight and fit all types of shoes and boots.

You use strap-on heel cleats when full size ice cleats are not an option. This would include situations whereby limiting the cleats to the heel section of shoes or boots

insures compliance with company safety directives prohibiting wearing anything on footwear that might somehow inhibit operating foot controls while driving;
fully exposes the defined heel on shoes and boots to make climbing ladders safer; and
lastly, reduces the risk of slipping off foot rests while operating equipment, snowmobiles, ATVs, and the pedals while biking on snow and ice.

Use LOW-PRO® HEEL cleats with Transitional Traction™ if you're constantly driving and going in and out of doors. More aggressive heel-only ice cleats are not practical under these circumstances because you must remove them every time you go indoors. You must remove aggressive ice cleats because they'll damage the floor or be slippery on smooth, hard surfaces.

Use HEEL-GRIPS Ice Cleats if you're constantly driving and not frequently going indoors. The reason that I recommend HEEL-GRIPS in this situation is because they have 10 2mm Tungsten Carbide Studs for better traction.

Lastly, if you're constantly driving and going in and out of doors and not restricted from wearing full-sole ice cleats, I recommend Winter Walking LOW-PRO® Ice Cleats with Transitional Traction™.

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

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)
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.

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.
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.

ICE BEAST™ Ice Cleats Sizing Tips

ICE BEAST™ Ice Cleats run large. Therefore, if you have a normal winter boot and your shoe size is close to the minimum of a size range, choose the next smaller size. If you have a large, bulky boot, stick with the size chart.

Ice cleats sizes are unisex and fit men's and women's shoes and boots according to the sizing charts.

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.

ICEGRIPS® Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

Here's my recommended approach to choosing the correct size.

First, find the ICEGRIPS® size that corresponds to your shoe or boot size.
Second, measure the length of your footwear in inches and add ¼ inch. Then compare that length to the "Footwear Length in Inches" column in the size chart corresponding to the size you found in the first step.
- If the length exceeds that size range, even by as little as ¼, select the next larger size.
- If the length falls below that size range, again, even by as little as ¼, select the next smaller size.

Questions:

What if the measurement I get in the second step above is more than 14.25"?

I would not buy ICEGRIPS®.

Will ICEGRIPS® fit large, bulky boots?

Yes. A "Bulky Boot" Strap Kit is available at an additional cost.
