Review on πŸ‘ž Ergodyne - 16923 Trex 6325 Slip On Spikeless Traction Devices, Black, Versatile for Outdoor and Indoor Wear by Paul Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent grip: ice and snow grips

I also have non-slip covers with screws that can be replaced on the bottom. But if you're going somewhere on a freezing day when it's appropriate to walk through a spiked establishment, this is a great alternative. So I think I'm a men's size 9.5 to 11 or something like that. I wear women's 11 or men's 9.5. They just fit over my shoes and didn't need to be tightened. I've tried them on different types of shoes and boots. They didn't match my Merrill boots. They were paired with a pair of New Balance sneakers. You slip into a dirty overall over branded tennis shoes. You were very uncomfortable in a pair of Hoka One One Bondi 5 tennis shoes. First, the Bondi has oversized soles, a wide toe, and a breathable nylon upper. They barely fit over the shoe, and then the O-ring on the top of the traction shoe digs right into the top of my foot. I've worn it on six different trips. There were several snowfalls, and although many sidewalks were cleared, many were not. We also went to the ice rink in the park just to check it out. The only time I slipped was after going through a snowdrift and when I came out the other side there was a slight slip. But when I took another step and kicked the snow off the ground, I was back in a stable condition. I didn't slip at all on the rink, it was a rather uninteresting ride around the rink. I feel more secure with screw ties but I haven't slipped into these and they are really easy to put on and take off and have worked great for my needs. Just check the size and make sure your shoes fit before using and getting stuck. I usually run or walk in my hoka shoes so I took off a star because they are really uncomfortable.

Pros
  • One-piece stretch construction - wraps around the toe and heel of a shoe or boot
Cons
  • Low maintenance
