Do you use Ice Cleats?

[Grandpa Jim]

I have a pair of ICERS (from Lee Valley). I use them for glare ice conditions on Simcoe and for walking my daughter's dogs on the old bush and farm trails behind her home. Studs are individually replaceable and I'd recommend these cleats to anyone working or playing under icy conditions.

I have taken a few spills,now they are on the boots and never come off.

I ALWAYS have them on and spare pares for guests.

For me, I find them easy to put on and stay on so wearing them is easy.
Picked up a pair of the Eagle Claw ones but not used them yet.

You have to but the right pair and NOT end up spending $40+.

Princess Auto have a good pair.

I use them in the portable hut as i clear the snow usually. It makes for sure footedness and avoids those little mini slips than can kick something down the hole.

Being a walker, they make a huge difference in gripping and such so i always wear them on the ice.

I tried wearing them last year but the additional weight was an annoyance.

Never thought of just studding my boots - will do that this weekend.

Studding your boots --- do they still remain to be waterproof? That would be my biggest concern. Hate cold feet.

[danop316]

dont see why they wouldn't - make sure the screws are shorter than the lugs.

I don't 'cause i do not need them. I have sled Hehehe, just rubbing it in.

"Ice spikes" are designed to be installed in your boot sole. Made of a harder metal than regular screws from the hardware store. I bought them at the running room they work great!

I always have them with me when I am out there as well as a spare set for friends. Even with snow on the ice I have them on.

I have a pair of insulated NEOS over shoe that have a studded bottom.

The boots are water proof and warm I wear running shoes or hiking boots inside if them that I can strip down to inside the pop up once the heater is going.

Once inside I put on a set of ice cleats.

I use Neos over shoes for getting around on the ice. Works great
