When there is a lot of ice and snow about, cars use snow chains to gain grip. When you are walking about or running, you can easily fall on the ice and hurt or break something. I used to slip about and walk very slowly in the ice and snow. You know that weird walk where you hold your arms out to the side and wobble about a lot. I discovered that you can walk with confidence with a clever solution you can buy for your shoes to give you fantastic grip.

Without having to resort to buying crampons for your shoes, you can get a more discreet grip. These snow chains for shoes provide grip on ice and snow. They work in the same way as snow chains for cars. It is a snow chain that fits over the sole of your shoe and stops you slipping on the ice. You can even buy ice grips for high heels and stiletto shoes.
Some nonslip shoe coverings consist of spikes on a piece of rubber. This is then put over your shoe to give grip. The Yeti Snow Claw or IceGrips are two great solutions. Others snow spikes for shoes include Springyard, Get-A-Grip, Yak Trax and Pogo.

A cheap alternative to buying ice and snow grips for shoes that will stop you slipping on the ice is to wear a pair of woolly socks over the outside of your shoes when walking on ice and snow. It is the wetness of the ice that makes it slippy. Wool wicks away the moisture and sticks to ice and snow. If you make snowballs with woolly gloves on you will notice that the snow sticks to the wool in clumps.
So, if you want superb grip for your shoes when walking on ice and snow, put a pair of woolly socks over your shoes. If you want to look stylish, you might prefer to buy ice grips for your shoes from Amazon
