How to choose anti-slip shoes and ice-cleats


Outdoorové aktivity, Běh, Zimní sporty, How to choose -guides by Varuste.net, 10.1.2023
When slippery weather arrives, it always comes to mind that studs on the soles of shoes are needed again. Ice-cleats, anti-slip shoes (studs and friction) are essential safety and comfort gear in slippery conditions. It's worth investing in suitable shoes to make outdoor activities enjoyable in any weather. So choose the footwear or ice-cleats that meet your needs: you can find guidance and tips on our range of different solutions below.

Studded boots for outdoor activities and walks

Our most popular anti-slip footwear for outdoor activities and leisure year after year are Icebug's studded winter shoes. Icebug shoes are not only extremely grippy but also warm even in colder temperatures. The raised shaft supports the ankle. Icebug outdoor shoes are best suited for walks and general outdoor activities in slippery conditions. Many dog walkers swear by them.

Icebug's studded boot models feature smart studs that slightly retract into the sole when walking on hard surfaces indoors. However, please note that the soles can be very slippery on wet concrete floors or staircases. Some companies and organizations also prohibit walking with spikes in their premises to protect, for example, wooden floors. However, you can get a handy FloorSaver accessory sole for Icebugs, which hides the studs indoors.

Below you will find our studded boots and some of the most popular Icebug models at the moment:

Friction shoes as general-purpose winter footwear

Friction shoes are a good alternative to studded shoes. They are like regular, warm winter shoes, but their sole pattern and especially the rubber compound are optimized to grip on slippery surfaces. Although friction shoes do not outperform studded shoes on slippery ice, their advantage is versatility: with friction shoes, you can easily switch from one surface to another and use them indoors without worrying about leaving marks on soft floor materials like wood. They are excellent general winter shoes when you want to be prepared for slippery conditions.

Studded running shoes for active use

The absolute choice for winter runners is definitely spiked running shoes. It's nice to run and jog in winter without having to tiptoe over icy and snowy spots or constantly fear falling. Studded shoes provide excellent traction even on slippery surfaces, taking the winter running experience to a whole new level. Your stride remains more relaxed and natural, and muscle tension does not build up as easily.

Below you will find all our spiked running shoes and some winter favorites:

Ice-cleats for shoes

One good option is, of course, to use an anti-slip sole or ice-cleats on your favorite outdoor shoes. An ice-cleat attached to the shoe sole is great when spikes are needed infrequently or only in the most slippery conditions. It is also perfect for ice fishing boots. A must-have product for kick sledding.
