4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, but could use a few minor tweaks, February 5, 2006

I purchased a pair of the heavy-duty StabilIcers to take with me to Stockholm, Sweden, for the winter. I'm overweight, and have a knee problem that limits my stability quite severely on ice and slick surfaces. I have, in the past, used stretched-rubber oversoles with carbide tipped spikes (available for ~150 SKr in most Stockholm shoe shops). These have worked poorly; tough to get on and off while standing (basically, you really need to take off your shoes!), and tended to slip out of position on shoes.

The Stabilicers work like a charm! I feel fully confident striding around town, crossing ice / slushy snow with ease. They are much easier to put on and retain; it helps to have a bench to hike a leg up on, but it's not strictly necessary. They stay in position fairly well, and feel like an extension of my feet. As I've only been using them for a week, I have no verdict yet on the lifetime of the screws underneath. I suspect, however, if you use them as I do (mixed snow / ice / slushy streets and sidewalks) you will wear the screws down within a few months. Rest assured, replacing the cleats is a trivial process, and their replacement cost is fairly minor.

The drawbacks:
These things are NOT quiet. Locals (especially Swedes!) who know how to walk on ice and snow and don't have knee problems, will stare at you like you are a freak. Even the old people. Just grin and bear it.

These things do not fold up. The rubber is fairly rigid, and you really can't bend them in two to stuff them in a pocket when you go into a store. I usually carry a plastic bag in a pocket to shove them into when I go into and out of a store. Or stick them in my backpack.

These things cannot be worn indoors, at all. They will instantly put divots into linoleum (oops).

Improvements:
The only improvements I could suggest would be:
1) The toe strap; it only sinches across the foot. It would be nice if the piece that runs along the foot, from the front to the toe band, could also be cinched down and tightned. Since the StabilIcers are designed to fit multiple shoe sizes, this would be a really good feature.

2) The toe strap. Perhaps make it a bifurcated piece of fabric, instead of a single strip. More like a bicycle toe clip? It would make it easier to get them on and off.

Overall, these are a wonderful device that I'm getting a lot of use out of. They make it so that I can spend time in the outdoors during the rare days of sun during the Swedish winter. If you have knee problems, get yourself a pair of these!

5.0 out of 5 stars These cleats can keep you safe on ice., December 9, 2008

These are amazing. I use them primarily for snow-blowing. In the past I've had to use the blower to help balance and for support, especially when on an icy incline. Putting these on eliminates all concern of slipping. They seem well-designed and well made. There are no elastic straps that will fail as they age. The straps are heavy nylon straps with lots of velcro (which make them easy to get on and off). I can't imagine a much better product.

A follow-up note: I have found one limitation. The straps are very high quality nylon, but they will damage the finish on leather shoes or boots is used for extended periods of time. Use them with an old pair of shoes and you won't have any problems.
