Not as good as I assumed from other reviews. I thought they would have been more grippy in slippery weather, but they felt pretty bad grip. They are also quite difficult to put on shoes, and the thinnest parts seem quite wobbly. We'll see how durable it turns out to be in longer use.

EDIT 7.2.24 Rating reduced from four stars to one. The other one broke after a year of use. Only used when walking on dog runs. The rubber broke at the bottom and a piece of iron wire came off and is unusable. I do not recommend it due to poor durability.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Good grip. More comfortable to walk on than with studs and does not leave marks on the wooden terrace. The rubber parts seem quite thin and weak, maybe not for running and the hardest bumps, but for walking and dog walking.

Easy to put on, good to walk on and hold up well even on hard ice. However, they can't stand running on hard surfaces (icy asphalt, stones, tiles or hard-frozen gravel roads) - it's hard to avoid these surfaces in the city. The rubber parts that attach the mesh structure of the sole to the edges of the shoe & to the parts that come on top, break after just a few uses. I've used it since then, so that it would be used "until the end", but even so, these don't last very many weeks. In addition, the spiral metal parts of the sole come off around the rubber bands and start to wear on the bottom of the shoe. These sliding parts can catch on uneven surfaces and are particularly dangerous, e.g. on a forest path with rhizomes. I bought a bit of a fair size skid pads, so it doesn't matter that they are too small for the shoe. I bought two pairs at once and both have the same problem with durability. If the durability was just right, it would be a really good product.
