STABILicers Walk 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!

These are perfect on ice. I live in Northern Michigan, and March is a seesaw of slush and ice. My driveway is 300 ft long on a slope going down to the road. In the past I tried using Yak Trax, which are good in snow, not so much on ice. Last year I slipped on black ice and banged my head. Oww!I wear a size 9 boot, and disregarded the size chart which said to get mediums. The large size fits perfectly. Going down to the road to get the mail is no longer treacherous. I leave the Stabils on one pair of boots. I'm so happy I bought this product!

The media could not be loaded. Oh man, these things have already paid for themselves with what I would have paid for ice melt 20 times over! I’m a womens’ size 11 and got these in a Large. They fit my boots perfectly. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first… but I am so happy with my purchase!Our landlord doesn’t get anyone to salt our driveway and it’s a huge safety hazard every winter. It’s sloped at the end and is totally slick ice. We can’t afford to keep buying salt and sand for the whole building, so I finally had enough and bought these bad boys.I keep the Stabilicers on an older pair of boots so I don’t have to take them on and off, and keep another pair of warm shoes when I get to my car for driving. It’s a little annoying, but it is SO worth the safety they provide!I have been using the Stabilicers for two weeks now and they’re awesome. Excellent traction, lots of stability. WELL worth the $20!

Great on shallow ice but no traction in store on tile or concrete

I used these all winter. They stayed on my boots and gave good traction.

These lightweight slip-ons grip even the most uneven, icy surfaces, and gave me balance during this long, freezing season.They fit snugly over shoes or boots with just a bit of tugging, and stay secure. The Stabilicers are thick and sturdy-good quality.A winter must have.

In a positive note, the rubber seems a lot thicker than yaktraxs. The spikes are certainly deeper so it feels like you are up on a platform. I have wide feet and since the spikes only cover a portion of the sole it feels like I'm tilting. If you have wide feet and weak ankles these are not stable. I felt more stable on yak trax.

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 . . .
