Product Description
The Ice Runner offers an easy-to-use, reliable, lightweight ice gripper for shoes and boots. Importantly, the Ice Runner is a studded ice gripper offering superior traction on snow and ice compared to non-studded models which are effective on snow. It's rare for the UK to suffer with snow for more than a few days but we know that it's the weeks of subsequent ice which represents the main problem to pedestrians during the winter season. The Ice Runner offers a snug fit around the footwear with the rubber needing to be stretched around the footwear to achieve a safe and comfortable fit. The Ice Runner is suitable for pedestrians, businesspeople, keen walkers or joggers, athletes and anyone else who wants greater stability on ice and snow. The elderly and people with limited strength in their arms should consider other ice gripper models by Springyard such as Wintergrip or Icey Heel. Both of these are heel models with an easy to attach function. The Ice Runner by Springyard has been type examined and EEC approved: Protective Equipment Class 1 - Excellent Anti-Slip effect.
** Sizing note - if your purchase of Springyard ice grippers is intended for chunky trainers or boots then we recommend going up one size bracket from your regular shoe size **

We chose these ones, as they looked the most obviously sensible, in conjunction with the EU rating. They arrived very quickly, which was good, as it's already sleet, hail and snow out there.
They slip and off your shoe very easily, just like pushing a large rubber band down and over the heel. Slightly tricky first time, but not difficult. The metal studs are much deeper and sharper than they look on the photo. No walking across linoleum in them.
It's a bit odd at first, like walking on football studs. But the positioning under the ball of the foot, and the heel, clearly works. I've just used them as I snow shovelled clear our drive and steps. With the ice and snow in a sludge around me. I felt so secure, I kept thinking "I mustn't need these ice grips!"
I'm truly no longer worried about breaking a leg, and they are very light and easily stuffed in a pocket when you get to the shops. Cannot recommend them more highly!

I have used these to pull a sled with two boys along an icy road (where I just fell over without them), and also today for a 10K run in the park in snow/ice. They work really well and give you confidence on icy surfaces. They take a minute to put on as you have to really stretch them, but they are really quick to pop off when you get to the tarmac (which you will need to do, else you will wear them out)
Worth the money to stop worrying about falling over and hurting yourself in icy conditions.

Last year I slipped on the ice three times on our untreated footpaths during the bad spell of snow and ice. Hurt my head on one of those slips and after that promised myself I would get crampons in case the bad weather repeated itself again this year. Most of the crampons on offer looked anything but subtle so I ordered these. The postman handed them to me as it started snowing and of course I couldn't to try them out on my walk to the local pub down a long icy lane. They are amazing! I walk with complete confidence over ice and snow up and down hill. Real easy to get off when you arrive at your destination. Just pop the in the seal-able plastic supplied and put them in your pocket ready for the return trip. An absolute must have item.

Very Good
I bought them for my mother in the bad weather and she loved them. Very handy and you can keep them in your handbag

A good solution but tight.
These grips are excellent value and make one feel really safe when walking in the ice and snow. They can be hard to put on, my solution was to use an old fashioned boot puller... Read more

I bought these ice-runners in a 'medium' for my size 9 men's feet, but I should have listened to other peoples' warning about sizing. Read more

Shoe sizing issue.
A very substantial and robustly manufactured product that has obvious potential to prevent a person to fall in icy conditions. Read more
