Very true. They are great for ice, but destroy everything else. This last winter, we could not locate any of these (in Texas, go figure), so I took an old pair of duty boots and got some 1/4" long sheetmetal screws with hex heads and screwed them into the edges of the soles. The hex heads get great traction. Also, if you ever have a situation where a vehicle will not get traction, the best thing in the world is styro chips (packing material). Very wise to keep a box of these around. They work great so long as the wind doesn't blow them away.

I agree, good for when you're outside in the snow and ice, but once inside a building you'll end up on the floor or be stuck to it. It's pretty good for keeping your footing in sloped areas just watch your step around the hydraulic hoses for the jaws.

I was wearing a pair of ice cleats one day, worked outside for about 2 hours. When I came inside I had a rough time walking on carpet(I know dumb) So I took them off finished what I was doing inside and then bolted back out the door(STUPID) Took me about 5 minutes to get back inside! THEY WORK AWSOME!!!

I love them. They do the trick & it is so much like walking on carpet. I use mine even for ice racing or ice fishing. I definately would be lost without mine. On the ice they do the trick. Unfortunately they do not come in larger sizes.

ok

I was stationed in Greenland and living on ice a friend sent me a pair and I was not impressed, they were not for big feet or big boots, we were a little more stable at times but the webbing didn't hold up well climbing around an iceberg and it broke. Not something I would buy or use again.
