Best Ice Cleats for Dress Shoes

The Best Ice Cleats for Dress Shoes Depends on Where You'll Use Them

For People Who Frequently Transition In and Out of Doors and Vehicles

These ice cleats are ideal for people who

  • live in cities;
  • commuters;
  • people with disabilities;
  • seniors; and
  • who can't tolerated the hassles you get wearing ordinary ice cleats.
The ice cleats are perfect for you if you fall into one of these categories because you can wear them on most indoor floors, including mass transit, and while you're driving.

You can wear these ice cleats indoors and while you drive because they have Transitional Traction™. The 1mm studs minimally protrude beyond the tread, so they both make contact with the surface.

Winter Walking LOW-PRO® is my top recommendation. LOW-PRO is also safe to wear on most indoor floors without damaging them. So you can leave LOW-PRO all day.

26 1mm tungsten carbide studs and aggressive self-cleaning treads provide excellent traction on ice, packed snow, deep snow, and black ice.

If you don't mind the bright color, these are the ice cleats to get that you can safely wear driving your car. Most people don't care about color. However, some people, like limousine drivers, prefer something more subdued.

If color matters, scroll down to find the all-black Winter Walking ALTRAGRIPS-LITE LOW PROFILE Ice Cleats.

ALTRAGRIPS-LITE are also available in XXL and XS.

AltraGrips-Lite LP Demo Video

AltraGrips-Lite LP have the same advantages as Winter Walking LOW-PRO as far as being safe to wear on most indoor floors and while you're driving. And while they give you excellent traction, they're not as good as the LOW-PRO because they have fewer spikes and a slightly less aggressive tread.

However, many people prefer a less conspicuous all-black ice cleat especially on dress shoes. They're more flat and may be easier for some people to walk in especially if they have balancing issues. Lastly, ALTRAGRIPS-LITE LP come in larger and smaller sizes than are available with the LOW-PRO.

  • They have 16 1mm tungsten carbide studs instead of 26 found on LOW-PRO.
  • The treads are not quite as aggressive and they do not use Dual-Material Construction so they're less durable.
  • Many people and businesses prefer an all-black ice cleat because it calls less attention to you.
  • Lastly, ALTRAGRIPS-LITE come in XS and also fit larger footwear than LOW-PRO.

For People Who Demand Ultimate Traction and Safety Over Convenience

Ice cleats is this category have 2mm studs. Therefore, you can't wear them on most indoor floors because they will either damage the floor or be very slippery on dry, hard, smooth surfaces.

Video Shows Why EASY SPIKE™ Ice Cleats Are a Fantastic Value
EASY SPIKE™ Ice Cleats are an economical alternative for less frequent use. That's because the 22 2mm studs are made from carbon steel instead of tungsten carbide. However, if you're not using them everyday or walking long distances, you should get years of use from your EASY SPIKE.

Gritted Non-Sparking Non-Conductive Ice Cleats

Very few people considering ice cleats for dress shoes should consider gritted ice cleats. That's because gritted ice cleats will only reduce slips on ice by 50%. Furthermore, gritted ice cleats become less effective as temperatures drop and ice becomes denser.
So why mention gritted ice cleats at all? I mention them because if transitioning in and out of areas where explosive materials are being processed, you absolutely have no alternative. Beware of ice cleats claiming to be spark-retardant which means the ice cleat probably won't generate a spark. Probably isn't good enough.

Crucial Ice Cleats Sizing Advice

  1. 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)
  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 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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
Always try your ice cleats on as soon as you receive them for two reasons.
