Ice Cleats Traction Grips with 10 Steel Studs 🥾
Description:
These slip-on ice cleats are designed to improve traction on packed snow and icy surfaces, helping you walk with more confidence in winter conditions. Lightweight and foldable, they are intended to fit over a wide range of footwear for outdoor tasks such as walking, hiking and ice fishing, and they help reduce the risk of slipping on hard-packed ice.
Key Points
The cleats use a stretch silicone thermoplastic elastomer that holds a secure fit on trainers, hiking boots and many casual shoes. The special steel studs are positioned across the forefoot and heel to maintain grip through the whole stride, and the unit gives complete foot coverage rather than just partial contact. They come with an extra set of replacement studs, which is useful for maintenance after repeated use or if a stud becomes worn.
These grips remain flexible at very low temperatures, which helps them stay snug and prevents cracking during cold-weather activities. Note that traction will be best on packed snow and ice; performance may vary on bare rock or wet metal surfaces. 🧊👟

Benefits
The addition of steel studs increases surface bite on ice and compacted snow, which helps to reduce slips when walking on level ground or gentle inclines. Because the cleats cover both the forefoot and the heel, they assist in maintaining stability throughout each step. They are also compact and light, so you can fold them and store them in a pocket or a small bag when not needed.
Manufactured parts are described as suitable for a wide range of shoes, so one pair can serve across different seasonal activities. Consider that the studs, being metal, may wear faster if frequently used on hard or abrasive surfaces, so avoid heavy use on tarmac or rough concrete where possible. 🔩
Usage Recommendations
Stretch the cleats over the sole and ensure the studs align with the weight-bearing areas of the shoe before walking. Check the fit after the first few steps and re-seat if there is any movement. For activities such as ice fishing or winter hiking, pair these cleats with sturdy footwear that has a defined heel and toe to keep the cleats stable. Replace worn studs with the spare set included to maintain traction over time.
