STABILicers Run Traction Ice Cleats for Snow & Ice - Non-Slip Winter Shoe Covers for Running, Hiking & Walking (1 Pair) - Perfect for Icy Sidewalks, Trails & Outdoor Activities

While intended for running, I bought these (and virtually every other popular ice cleat) for walking my ice-coated driveway to get to the mailbox. I put them over a zip-up short shoe boot and they fit well. I wouldn't doubt an athletic shoe would fit if you size it right. The replaceable "cleats" are small bolts, screwed in on the outside edges of the unit (the Lite version has "teeth" in the middle of the overshoe), but they ARE small bolts. So, you have just added the weight of a handful of bolts to each shoe. Which makes the workout better but judge for yourself. I also just used them for walking, but the unit is flexible enough for running. Because the cleats are on the edges of the sole, you may slide a bit before they grip if you're on an uneven surface, but walking on fairly smooth sheet-ice, I was fine, but they are heavy!Vs Stablicer Lite: The lite is lighter weight but has little tombstone-shaped teeth in the MIDDLE of the sole. I used this for 2 mile plus walks in snow/ice mix and they worked very well. Both go on and off fairly well, but not as easily as YakTrax. You are NOT walking on the retaining structure with the Stabilicers, and so the traction cleats are not wearing out the shoe retaining structure.Vs YakTrax Original. I prefer the Yaks for keeping in the car for emergencies since they are the easiest on/off and seem to fit the widest varieties of footwear. HOWEVER, in the YakTrax, you are walking on the web structure of the unit so when one of the stretchy rubber "webs" gets worn and breaks, the whole device fails OR at least the traction does. I didn't and wouldn't use YakTrax for distance or running unless you don't care that you have to repurchase when the structure fails. For just doing some shoveling or outdoor tasks, or for emergencies and frequent on/off, the YakTrax are ideal. The traction is metal-wrapped around the underfoot web and works very well.Vs YakTrax Sport: I sent them back; the toe pocket wouldn't hold a boot, shoe or running shoe and the whole front slipped off on the way to the mailbox, only the Velcro strap held the device on. In THEORY, they're great since they combine cleats in the front and YakTrax metal-wrapped coils under the heel, so they're light and grip well, but the way it fits on footwear has to be rethought.A year ago I slipped and fell on the ice and smacked the back of my head, so this winter I got these. They give excellent traction, and I can walk and even run in confidence on snow and ice. I've so far taken several tromps through the snow with these, walking and jogging in the woods, on icy roads, and over frozen swamps. They work great. They are kind of hard to get on your shoes. My feet are men's size 8 and a half, I wear these over running shoes (what we used to call sneakers), and the size medium (which is supposed to fit sizes 8-10), is hard to get on over my running shoes. Probably it has to be this way, that if they don't fit really tight they'll fall off? I don't know, one of mine fell off the first time I wore them, but now I use the velcro straps that are included, and have had no problems since. I'm leaving them on my shoes, so the next time I won't have to struggle putting them on. I recommend these, but they seem to run a bit small, and probably even more so if you plan to wear them over boots. The price might be high for anyone just looking for something for occasional or casual use, but they're pretty sturdy and worth the price if you do a lot of walking or running in the winter. One more thing: They add some weight to your feet, and on a long tromp you'll feel it.First of all, these are ice cleats. They aren't going to provide much added traction if you have a bit or lot of loose snow because the screw heads are more shallow. Everything is currently a sheet of ice here and I took them for a run and walk yesterday. They gripped amazingly and I never worried about falling. My dogs were sliding all over the place and when I walked outside to test if I needed them, I could feel myself sliding just standing on the sidewalk.The times my feet started to slide it was a gradual loss of traction and not a sudden loss, flying thru the air, broken tailbone type. Only time they did less well was trying to help push a car up an icy driveway and on an uphill part of my run - I couldn't get enough traction pushing the car, but in their defense, neither could 4 tires. This would require some full on spikes and when you run with dogs, that seems like a really dangerous option. On the uphill part of the run, they were sliding out just a little, kind of like trying to run up a slightly muddy embankment in cleats, but again, nothing that made me worried at all I was going to fall.As far as the design, it fit perfectly over my shoe, never shifted at all on the run or walk. For reference, I have the size large and wore them with my size 45 (12US) inov8 f-lite 195s - the cleats added weight, but never changed my form or speed and most importantly, I never felt the screw points.Bottom line - I'd highly recommend these for places where it gets icy, but you may want to go a different route if you are in something other than ice or hard packed snow. I jumped off the sidewalk into the snowy parts a few times, and it really didn't add anything more; plus since it doesn't wrap around you foot, it doesn't provide any water protection.Great product, provides needed stability on ice and stays firmly in place on my running shoes (Note: this product does not fit over my winter boots).Les clous sous le soulier sont quand même de bon diamètre, ce qui fait que l'adérence n'est pas toujours a son meilleur. Je suis quand même très satisfait de la qualité du produit. Je le recommande.They are great on ice but dangerous on public floors! You slide...Super pour ne pas glisser sur la neige ou le verglas. C'est ma deuxième paire de "sur chaussures" (la première achetée il y a 5 ans en Suède), et celle-ci semble super solide ! Spikes sous toute la semelle, alors qu'avant j'en avais seulement sous les talons. Objet à recommander ... Il vaut mieux les utiliser que de se casser le bras sur un parking verglacé (cela m'est arrivé)exactement le produit que je souhaitais, et a bon prix. Apres quelques essais fait la job parfaitement
