HEEL-GRIPS Video and Overview
"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."
What Are Winter Walking HEEL-GRIPS?
HEEL-GRIPS are Heel-Only Ice Cleats that
- 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.
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.
Why Winter Walking HEEL-GRIPS Are the Best in Class
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.

Situations Where HEEL-GRIPS Are the Best and Safest Choice
HEEL-GRIPS have aggressive 2mm studs which gives you the best possible traction from a heel-only Ice Cleat. Therefore, you have to remove them before walking on most indoor floors because HEEL-GRIPS
- will damage the surface; or
- can be very slippery on hard, smooth floors.
If you're constantly transitioning in and out of doors, and removing and putting your ice cleats back on each time is impractical, consider Winter Walking LOW-PRO HEEL. You can wear LOW-PRO HEEL on most indoor floors and they're not slippery on smooth, hard surfaces.
