What to do about slipping on Ice in the Winter!

Might I recommend these. I've had mine for the last three Winters. They fit over any shoe or boot, are extremely well made, and work. I feel confident striding around, even on sheet ice.:)

...must have been very useful last winter.

Could have done with them last year....instead I looked like a dancing lunatic on the pavement! LOL!

Come move to LA LA Land we don't do winter here unless you want to drive to it. I can recall several X-Mas on the beach with suntan lotion.

it's a good thing the wehrmacht didn't have the same idea back in '41 - they would probably have reached moscow...

LUL .. that pic always reminds of the the HALT! .. Hammer Zeit

And for the booty chains and what not .. I already had the box of SS screws, and why spend loads more money on the booty chains. Sure they're removable .. but I pretty much only use these boots in the winter.

SS screws? as in schutzstaffel? :)

(is it ok to smile in this context?

Oops! Stainless Steel screws

Yaktrax Ice Grips

These are good

Sadly, just found out they're not available in the US. Supposedly the company has a US counterpart, but they say that the US product isn't as good.

Thanks for the suggestion though, big gee!

I move to Florida in the winter to get away from the snow and ice.
