Review of Men's Heavy Duty Non- Slip Ice Treads

Customer Ratings:

--(2/2/2010: Update to review below: I contacted Amazon right after submitting this review. I never expected or had requested a refund from Amazon, having purchased these well over a year ago. I just wanted to know if they or the retailer had any warranty on these due to the premature wear of the studs and/or could I go back to the retailer I purchased these from for a resolution. Well, Amazon promptly replied back the same day that they would refund my full purchase price and emailed me the return shipping label as well as the return approval to include in the package. Amazon came through with flying colors on their dedication to customer support. This was a situation where I never expected a refund and Amazon stepped right up to offer me one. A well deserved 5 Star rating -for Amazon-. It's the very same reason why i typically buy from them over any other on-line retailer, both due to their great customer service as well as their very competitive prices. --

Bought these from Amazon in Nov 2008. Easy to adjust for fit and from shoes up to large boots and they stay on firmly without slipping off or out of position (the tread stays put where it needs to be). The big problem with these is that the studs seem of soft metal and wore completely flat in only one and a half winters of use. I don't wear these on asphalt, just around the backyard or driveway when we've had heavy snow that melted and then refroze. The studs have only seen ice, but, wore down far too fast for what I paid for them. I so wish the studs could be removed (un-screwed) and replaced since the rest of the rubber tread and straps are like new, but, they seem riveted into the sole. It would be easy enough to grind down the top of rivet to remove them if I can find a screw-in stud that would fit the hole the studs are in. This of course should not be needed to be done this soon and thus, I give the treads a 2 star rating (would probably give them 2 1/2 stars if I could) for poor durability and wear of the studs used in these to bite the ice,

I bought these for my father. They worked good at first, but broke in a few months.

I bought these heavy duty non-slip shoes but after seeing them wear quickly and being difficult to fit on my partner's boots I found a great alternative, I bought some Maxigrip Ice studs () and installed them directly on my boots. They have a carbide bit that will not wear out and fits on all kind of boots and running shoes as you can un-installed them and reuse.

I use these for hiking on wet clay surfaces. The performance is not good. The attachment design is very poor, as they constantly came off the boots I had to modify the attachment design. The bottoms caked with mud quickly, rendering them ineffective to their purpose indeed I fell more often than fellow hikers without them. They need a bottom design that makes it easy to release caked on mud and ice.

Also the trails contain many rocks and some paved portions (cement and asphalt) which quickly wear the spikes. It would be good to have a cap or other device to snap on for these surfaces.
