User Reviews
The boots are light, they zip up so easy to put on, they look good, and they make walking on ice safe.
I live in Minnesota and walked everyday this past winter regardless of the weather. I was very concerned about ice and wasn't confident that the metal spring-style ice grips that slip on over my boots would keep me from falling. What a difference with the Icebugs. They grip great and no slipping. They are well worth the money and very comfortable. They were also great on packed snow when I walked across a lake.
We had a lot of ice lately in my area in the Northeast so I wanted boots with traction. These boots were fantastic. I almost wish Spring could wait another week or two, as by now all the ice has melted. I am up there in age and a fall would be a disaster. The boots are really easy to get on as well. I went out with some children who are quite active and I was very steady following them around in snow and ice. One still has to be careful of course. Best to leave the boots by the door though as walking on wood floors may not benefit the floors. On some surfaces they seem fine, and I could walk into most stores. Never tried driving with them. I ordered a size larger than I usually wear and this worked out.
They help a lot on the ice and snow especially the weather we are having now. in MN, they do keep my feet warm. And they are not noisy in stores. I just didn't like the price. I got the all black boot with a grey wool on top side, nice height. These boots make me fill more comfortable when walking. Nice Boots
These boots are fantastic on ice. Easy to get on and off with the zipper. I bought a half size larger to accommodate wool socks, I’m glad I did. They are not waterproof if you have slushy conditions, but we are solid frozen for 3 months in upstate New York.
Fell and broke my ankle slipping on ice a week before I received these boots. Opening box with some sadness at the timing, but are great quality, good looking and I think they’re gonna work for me once I am back to walking. Cost of boot is non issue, As believe me $200 a lot cheaper than the medical bills that I am paying for after ankle surgery
It’s a great boot . I can walk over ice with confidence. It’s a comfortable boot the snow doesn’t go down it.Warm as ever!
I live in NH with lots of snow, ice. These boots are soooo wonderful to just pop on when I go outside for quick or long walks. So easy to just jump into and zip up. My hunch is that I’ve saved myself from the price in time and money of slips/broken bones over and over. Well worth the price!
