STABILicersWalk Traction Cleat for Walking on Snow and Ice (1 Pair)

I live in New England and our Farm gets a LOT of Ice. I have been using this type of stabilizer for many years. I wear a size 13 shoe/boot and could never find the XL size in the local stores. Found them on Amazon and they are PERFECT. If you plan on climbing a snow/ice covered mountain... these are NOT for you. BUT... if you want to work around locally on snow or pure ice, then these are the ones you want. They are MUCH better than the ones with flat studs on the bottom and fit just about ANY shoe, sneaker, boot, etc. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Resistente bien material y practico

Edit: 12/18/19 Not sure where all the 1 star reviews are coming from from, I'm back to order more ! (And a pair for our mail lady . . Shhh ! . . . ) Yes, there is a size issue that has been hashed and rehashed over an over again, so caveat emptor. Mine never even came close to slipping off, they fit my size 9 Kamik Greenbay 4's perfectly (see comment below). I just asked my sig. other who wore them into work 4 days a week from Feb into April and she said hers never came off. We had snow last year that stayed from Nov. 13 until April 8 so there were all varieties of conditions. Hers were on her "dress" boots so close to dress/work shoes, mine on SIZE 9 snow boots SIZED WAY UP, X-L not Large ! Again, sorry Big Foots, Stabilicers make some bigger sizes.Another thing, I was going to order a bulk load from another country figuring they were all probably made there anyway until I looked at the Stabilicers for sizing and stamped on the bottom was " Made in USA". Upon reading reviews from some foreign "brand" the complaints were consistent with "rubber too flimsy" and "they fall fall off all the time". Ours have never come close to falling off. I'm spending a few bucks more to get quality. And the grip is the best I've ever had. The little dot cleats are OK but they rip, the coils, OK but those also have lasted only a couple seasons, Stabilicers really grab and we will see how long they last, if I can find them . . .(Original review 2/19) After my sig. other fractured her hip during an awkward X-C ski fall early in the season I started looking for ice cleats so she wouldn't do a literal butt-buster walking to work from the parking lot (7-9 minutes) or on the ice build-up on our steep driveway. I got my car part way up one evening not seeing what the light snow cover was hiding - a sheet of slick, black ice. My car slid back down. So being a guy, I gave it another try . . . I made it to the same spot but an ill-timed brake tap sent me sliding down off the driveway. The driveway was so slick I had to crawl part way up, and even that was dicey. So the search commenced the next morning (after enlisting a neighbor and his big, red truck to tow me out of the gully . . .). I settled on these Stableicers due to their reviews and low spike profile to allow for walking on industrial carpets.The fit: For her I got the Medium (6.5-9 men/ 7.5 - 10 women) for her "dress" winter boots for work and they fit snugly and easily on her size 7s. For me I got the X-Large (12.5 -15 men) (from a different company likely due to availability or shipping time.) These were for winter Kamik boots size 9 (fully insulated, tromp around outside, winter boots) and they fit on snugly, relatively easily. I'm not sure how much bigger you can go, maybe a size or three (with a LOT of tugging), but for you Big Foots you are likely out of luck until they come up with an XX-Large.Grip: I used mine on that same steep, icy driveway snow-blowing the rest of the winter. Grabs right on even through snow. MUCH better then the studded grips and the coil grips.How long will the rubber last ? We'll see. I have several rubber types that are ripped or half ripped do I figured I'll spend more to get something that will last more than a couple years. Then there is the "Where in the world is the other one !?!" factor . . .

New update (Feb 2015) - it's been 3 years and I noticed that one of the heel straps broke off. Now it was okay at the last usage in 2013-2014 winter season, and because I did not touch it during the off season, I have to assume that the rubber simply gave out from staying on the shoes all that time. The unit still has one strap and so far it's holding this winter. (I should point out that my Trax product is like twice as old and I've had no such problem with that.)Original review(s) below.I finally got a chance to use this product when we had some morning freezing and I needed to walk down my driveway with the ice on it. This product appeared to work a little better than my Trax product I've used for the last 3-4 years.What I liked most: It seemed to grip the ice better. It did less damage walking on carpet before stepping outside. It worked VERY well walking on frozen grassy soil. It was slightly easier to put on my shoe than my Trax.What I liked least: It felt fairly uncomfortable walking on concrete. My shoes are effectively work shoes like a construction worker might wear, so they are stiff bottomed and are very well sewn. However, with these cleats on, I could definitely feel the pressure points where the cleats base pushed on my foot here and there. With the Trax, I did not feel that sort of thing.While I've never fallen down with the Trax, I have come close a few times. So I simply wanted to try a different solution. I'll probably update this review after we've had a serious snowfall and have more experience with it.Update: We've had a lot of snow this winter, so I've had ample opportunity to use these cleats. On snow, they are pretty darn good. When I'm cleaning the driveway, I have not slipped yet. However, on really slippery ice, when the temperature is near zero, I have noticed I do have to be careful walking on the ice itself, as the cleats will not bite into really hard, frozen ice. I've not fallen, but the slight sliding has made me nervous a couple of times. For comparison with the Trax, I *think* the Trax was slightly better on hard, slippery ice. Bottom line, both work pretty well, and you can't go wrong with either, imo.
