ZUXNZUX Crampons 12-point ice cleats for boots 🥾
Description:
This ice traction accessory slips over footwear to improve grip on icy paths and snowy trails, making winter walks and outdoor chores less precarious. Designed as practical ice cleats for shoes, it combines a flexible silicone body with stainless steel spikes to help keep footing on compact snow and glazed ice.
Key Points
The construction uses a thermoplastic elastomer that is thicker than ordinary rubber and tested for performance at low temperatures, down to around -45.0 °C according to the manufacturer. The soles attach quickly thanks to an added Velcro strap that fits a wide variety of shoes and boots. Each unit includes multiple hard-wearing spikes for multidirectional grip that aim to reduce slips on frozen surfaces. Consider that aggressive spikes can feel stiff on indoor floors, so remove them before entering buildings. 😊
Technical Specifications
- Name: ZUXNZUX Crampons
- Material: Thermoplastic elastomer body, stainless steel 304 spikes
- Spikes per foot: 11 (7 forefoot, 4 heel)
- Minimum side width: 2 cm

Advantages
The pattern of 11 stainless steel spikes per foot gives targeted traction under both the forefoot and heel, which helps when pushing off on compact snow or when descending slippery slopes. The flexible silicone-like body allows the cleats to stretch over a range of shoe sizes while keeping a snug fit, and the Velcro fastening adds an extra layer of security. They are lightweight and compressible, so carrying a pair in a small pack or pocket is straightforward for activities like winter hiking or ice fishing. ❄️
Usage Recommendations
Fit the cleats by stretching the front over the toe, pulling the body under the sole, and securing the Velcro at the heel. Check the fit before setting off and tighten if there is any looseness. Avoid prolonged use on bare tarmac and inside shops to protect both the spikes and floors. For long walks on varied urban surfaces consider swapping to a set with smaller studs if surface damage or excessive vibration becomes an issue, and remember that while these grips improve traction on many icy surfaces, deep powder or unstable slopes still require cautious movement and appropriate footwear.
