Reply to: Crampons (ice traction for your feet) Posted January 6, 2023

I live in a very icy city (Ottawa, Canada) so ice cleats are quite common. I’ve had many pairs over the years and don’t have a favourite brand. Usually I just buy whatever Costco has – the cheap ones seem just as effective as the more expensive ones. The most important feature for me is that they’re easy to slip on and off your boots, preferably while standing on one leg. You don’t want to wear these things inside or while driving. I have a carabiner attached to my purse that I clip my cleats to while inside. For the last few years I’ve been wearing the same pair of Stabilicers Lite which have been just fine.
