Looking to purchase a set for this season. I now have a pair of STABILicers MAXX and although they work well on glare ice, not so well if they is much snow on the ice.
What works on both glare ice and ice with a snow covering???
Four guys I was ice fishing with last week on the Grade all had "Sportneer Crampons Traction Ice Cleats, 19 Spikes Stainless Steel Anti-Slip Ice Snow" and they swear by them. This week I picked up a pair on Amazon for $15 but no personal experience with them yet except for mounting them on my fishin' boots. Rubber harness seems very robust, well designed and well made with a velcro instep strap. Can't see any way they'd come off unintentionally and there's a good amount of moderately aggressive spikes under both heel and forward pad of foot. They look pretty hard to beat for the $ but time will tell.
I have the Yak Trax XTR's. Had them for 4 years and they work great. Just don't step on your shelter material. They will puncture it.
While I like the idea of having studs in my boots, I can't see how this would be good for the floor in your garage, truck or the running boards of your sled/ATV. Hell, you forget to take your boots off walking into your house, that could mean some serious damage to linoleum or hardwood floors.
And I'm that husband who forgets. A lot.
i like the idea of the screw in studs musky! don't mean to steal a post but have any of you found a set for big feet... i wear a size 16 and my boots are to big for everything iv found.... rather not buy a 2nd pair of boots to use so i dont have to take screws in and out but that what it seems like i will have to do
I own a pair of yaktrax extremes, similar to the kahtoola and are excellent on glare ice. However they do have some drawbacks. With their spikes they are hard on surfaces not ice. I have arthritis in my back and it's a pain taking them on and off my sorrels. If you are in a similar situation check out the icetracker diamond grips. I leave them on my muck boot artic pros all the time as they do no damage and are pretty decent on glare ice.
