Presto Kitchen Kettle Multicooker

Love these ICE Trekkers! They are very grippy on icy roadways, sidewalks, and lakes! I live in WI, where we great all kinds of precipitation form snow, sleet and freezing rain. Plus, once the snow starts to melt sidewalks and roads become icy when the water freezes up again. I use these grippers for traction on icy surfaces when shoveling, and walking. I walk daily in all weather and even in bitter cold! I have never slipped using these grippers. My husband has "borrowed" my grippers to use when he goes ice fishing and when he cuts sturgeon holes. And, he said these are great he never slips once, or losses traction on the ice. We bought a pair for my mother-in-law who did not like the icy walk to her mailbox and was afraid of falling on the ice. She loves the grippers as they prevent her from falling on the icy driveway. I highly recommend the ICE Trekkers for icy conditions. Remember to rinse the grippers off with warm water when done walking on salted roads, or they will rust. I have my original pair for two years and they are not rusted. Also, they are durable! I had some cheap grippers that the wire stretched and broke after using for a few months. Last, I would not recommend using these in deeper snow, as stated in another review they will collect wet snow. When there is a lot of snow, I just put on my snowshoes and have no problems walking.

Better than YakTrax on flat ice, but still slips a bit. Way better than rubber boot soles on ice. No major improvement on snow over regular boot soles. Metal teeth will quickly rust once you walk on salted ice. I have permanently replaced my YakTrax with IceTrekkers due to better walking performance on ice. The metal teeth on these are capable of damaging floors and will easily slide on tile, so use with caution indoors.

TL;DR: +Great traction +Well-built +Appears to well-designed such that it will be durable The winter of 2014 in NYC has seen a lot of snow, followed by freezing rain, which has resulted in large ice packs in the parks. I walk my dog every for 45 minutes every morning in a large park, and after some warm weather melted the snow, several inches of ice remained on the ground, covering most of the park's meadows. Extremely treacherous to walk on. I purchased these ICETrekkers and couldn't be happier. They are easy to put on, offer decent grip on pavement while walking to/from the park (although I imagine that will wear down the metal much faster), great grip on ice and hard-packed snow, and are comfortable to wear--I don't really notice them. Most importantly, they are comfortable to wear and offer tremendous grip. I can walk over ice sheets as if on normal pavement, with very little slipping. Regarding durability, I originally was going to buy YakTrax, as that is the brand a friend owns, but the ICETrekkers design is far superior, as the entire sole is made up of metal. The metal travels up the side of your shoe to connect to a rubber piece that holds the device on your shoe. The key is that, unlike YakTrax, there is no rubber framework on the sole of the device that will be worn through by the metal traction devices. If anything breaks, it will be a piece of metal breaking. Highly recommended.

Mine are now 2 years old and are still working great. I walk the dog everyday for about 5 miles regardless of the weather. Following the instructions, I rinse them off and hang them up to dry after each use. Very little corrosion present. I have easily 500 miles on these and they are still great. I walked right through many pairs of Yaktrax over the years and these are so much better both from a traction as well as a durability standpoint. I don't slip on dry asphalt, wet asphalt, dry cement, wet cement, ice, or snow. The only time one will ever slip with these on at all is on freshly seal coated asphalt.

I already have a pair of these and they work extremely well, even on sheer ice. I have balance problems and had been petrified to walk outside when it's slippery. These work so well, I feel like I'm walking on bare pavement. I just wish they were easy on and off so I could wear them into stores.

I to like them on ice but the last pair the cable broke from rust you would think they would make the cable out of stainless steel since there no way to avoid road salt. that way they would last more than a year or might as well say half year don't wear in summer

I only really got to use these for one season... for about 1 or 2 snow/ice-storms. They work GREAT for traction on ice and you feel as secure (if not more secure) wearing these on ice as you'd feel wearing normal sneakers on pavement. The problem is... it doesn't seem like the links are stainless steel. I let mine air-dry, but did not apply any rust-protection agent to the links (WD-40, CLR, Lime-Away, etc.) and when I pulled them out last week to check on them for this upcoming season they were COMPLETELY rusted. I soaked them in CLR, but that didn't work. Then I tried Lime-Away and a steel-bristle brush, but that didn't work, either. Finally I tried WD-40 and it was no dice. My very expensive pair of ice cleats ended up in the garbage after hardly being used. I'm now debating whether I want to buy another set of these (being mindful to add rust-protection this time), or just buy some of the other cleats which cost 1/2, or 1/3rd the price. These were great while they worked, but there is no excuse for these developing so much rust.

I bought these after a trying a pair of Yak Traks that broke right away. They are much better than those. The traction is not great on ice because the spikes are just too small and not sharp enough. The cables that hold the spikes have broken twice and I've spliced them back. The front loop of chains tends to float around as you walk. The rubber piece is sturdy and holds up well. All in all - you may get one good hiking season out of these.
