Walking in snow / ice - shoes?

Thanks guys. I didn't think of sports direct. I was hoping to spend too much money - on the sport direct site, they do have what look like decent ones (Karimoor) for £16. I think I'll get them.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

I've got some berghaus gore tex walking boots and they've been fantastic in the snow.0

Love my moon boots, keep my feet warm and snug and have brilliant grip too.0

I have got Rohde goretex walking boots. I have been wearing them for about 5 years and they have certainly covered some miles! They were expensive but are completely waterproof and with a fleecy insole, keep my feet very warm. A good investment I think.0

I have some of these and can really recommend them. They are comfy, warm, waterproof, sturdy, have good grip, dont get filthy and they still look reasonably stylish-ish lol. Check m and m direct as they often have them on offer.
Seriously I wear mine to death in the winter months - best money I ever spent on footwear

I wore a cheap pair of Weird Fish boots in the snow (very like Snowjoggers, which disappeared like hot cakes from M&M Direct in the last cold snap 3 months ago). I wear walking boots too.
Because I regularly end up on my bum with black ice, I looked into Get A Grips, which are regularly on QVC. Found these on ebay US.. DryGuy Grip On Monster Grips, which have more grips than Get A Grip: http://www.basegear.com/dryguy-monster-grip-ice-cleats.html.. not where I bought them from, just a picture, they cost £15 delivered. Worth it with all the walking I do, and the bumps I've had on my backside over the years!
These are similar.. http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/Alpenheat_Grips_Shoe_Spikes/ (Cheekily the retailer put the price up from £16.48 delivered a few months ago).
A cheaper option again is an ebay UK seller selling Swedish 'Yngsjöbrodden' no-slip ice-spikes/cleats for £8 delivered.0
