It's been very icy up here the last few days after some freezing rain, I took a good spill yesterday and of course I didn't have any of my slip-on ice grippers on my shoes. I have several different types with varying designs to grip the ice.
The best ones I find for sheer ice are the ones which seem to be the simplest ........ those being the ones with small pins protruding from the sole. They almost look like 3/16" short stub ends of finishing nails sticking out of the rubber sole of the gripper. Mine have only four at the front and another two at the back.
