Shoes for Icy Steep Drive?

340 Posts


Hi all
We've had a bit of frost recently and our steep drive was treacherous. We put some grit down but it was still ropey in places. Could anyone suggest a shore/boot that might help? I know you can get metal spikes that attach to shoes but I have no idea about how safe or effective they are.
Thanks

Winter Trax are good but they say not to use on bare ground, so I've always been a bit dubious with just frost (rather than ice or snow). I would imagine similar products should have directions for use, so if they say they're okay on bare ground - or even frost specifically - if they're a reputable brand they should be okay. I would be wary of overpriced ones in the random mail order catalogues that come in the paper or junk mail though, and I include companies like Coopers in that.
