Men's Heavy Duty Non- Slip Ice Treads

a men's size 7 winter sport boot. They may work a bit better on a larger size shoe but kept falling off of mine!

--(2/2/2010: Update to review below: I contacted Amazon right after submitting this review. I never expected or had requested a refund from Amazon, having purchased these well over a year ago. I just wanted to know if they or the retailer had any warranty on these due to the premature wear of the studs and/or could I go back to the retailer I purchased these from for a resolution. Well, Amazon promptly replied back the same day that they would refund my full purchase price and emailed me the return shipping label as well as the return approval to include in the package. Amazon came through with flying colors on their dedication to customer support. This was a situation where I never expected a refund and Amazon stepped right up to offer me one. A well deserved 5 Star rating -for Amazon-. It's the very same reason why i typically buy from them over any other on-line retailer, both due to their great customer service as well as their very competitive prices. --Bought these from Amazon in Nov 2008. Easy to adjust for fit and from shoes up to large boots and they stay on firmly without slipping off or out of position (the tread stays put where it needs to be). The big problem with these is that the studs seem of soft metal and wore completely flat in only one and a half winters of use. I don't wear these on asphalt, just around the backyard or driveway when we've had heavy snow that melted and then refroze. The studs have only seen ice, but, wore down far too fast for what I paid for them. I so wish the studs could be removed (un-screwed) and replaced since the rest of the rubber tread and straps are like new, but, they seem riveted into the sole. It would be easy enough to grind down the top of rivet to remove them if I can find a screw-in stud that would fit the hole the studs are in. This of course should not be needed to be done this soon and thus, I give the treads a 2 star rating (would probably give them 2 1/2 stars if I could) for poor durability and wear of the studs used in these to bite the ice,

I use these for hiking on wet clay surfaces. The performance is not good. The attachment design is very poor, as they constantly came off the boots - I had to modify the attachment design. The bottoms caked with mud quickly, rendering them ineffective to their purpose - indeed I fell more often than fellow hikers without them. They need a bottom design that makes it easy to release caked on mud and ice.Also the trails contain many rocks and some paved portions (cement and asphalt) which quickly wear the spikes. It would be good to have a cap or other device to snap on for these surfaces.

These were purchased as a gift so I don't know how they hold up yet, but they look to be very heavy duty compared to the cheaper ones I have seen in stores.

I purchased these non-slip ice-treads after talking to a friend about how scared I was to fall on the ice. She recommended "get a grip" ice treads but I didn't remember the name so I purchased these. When they came in they looked very sturdy and I was sure they would do the trick. I wore them once on frozen snow and they were fine, the second time I wore them the snow was melting and turning to slush. I fell, (didn't get hurt, just scared)and needless to say returned them to Amazon even though I had them for about 2 months, Amazon sent me a return label. I quess these are made for alot of snow or ice, not slush. I then went a bought the Get A Grip ones, haven't used them yet and hope I don't need them until next year, I'm sick of all this snow.

No size was given for this article and it was too small for an adult with a small foot.

Maybe I did not have the right size but these were not good for me because they kept sliding off the sole of my boots.

these ice treds were way too big, for the shoes they were to fit,so I returned them and decided to get boots
