32North STABILicers - 2006 BCS

I started the winter with YakTrax--they broke after 2 weeks. The Stabilicers are a little heavier and more effort to put on and off, but they give plenty of traction and seem built to take it.

The stablicers got the supreme test when I went to Michigan lately. The roads were literally sheets of one to two inches of ice with hills. I was easily able to walk on the ice with these things attached to my feet. They go on easy and are not a problem to walk in. The only caution is that the little cleats are sharp enough to damage a deck should you walk on it.

These are well made and offer unbelievable traction. I've had other types of boot traction devices and they fall off my boots and wear down after a year of use. These are bomber and have never fallen off my boot. Pay a little more for these. They work better and last longer. IF you wear out the cleats you can replace them with hex head screws.

Ordered a pair for me and a pair for my husband because I took a very bad fall last winter on black ice on my own driveway. My head bounced like a basketball on the pavement. Ever since then, I have been terrified of taking another -- possibly fatal -- fall on ice, so I've tried many different types of ice grippers. These are the BEST! In the first place, they are extremely easy to put on and off (unlike most of the others which I had to struggle with). I now feel very safe on ice and hard-packed snow wearing these grippers, and my 90-year old, very athletic husband, LOVES his, too! ~~ Mary Huber

These stay on, they are great on rocks and side hilling and seem to be very durable.

been wearing these things for 5 years, took a hard fall once. i was headed to the barn to get my STABILICERS. busted my ----. keep em in the house now.

I actually had originally bought some snowshoes with excellent traction on packed snow and ice but they were 5 times more expensive then these stabilicers. These perform very very well and it seems like every trail I go on I get someone asking me where I got these and how they perform. I'm glad to recommend this site and stabilicers to anyone. I've only had them a little while but so far they are holding up like new. Great addition to the gear.

I just ordered a pair and have walked 6 miles each day for the last three days on snow-packed ice covered asphalt roads that are hilly with not one slip or skid. I love being able to stride along, get fresh air, enjoy the snow without having to look at my feet or worry about slipping. This is the best product that I have ever ordered--it does what it says it will.

These work as advertised. Will fit any shoe or boot and dig in like a gravedigger in a cemetary. Best product on market and can be place on and taken off is a couple of seconds. This is a match for any ice, snow, or slush. Not recommended for ballroom dancing!!!

Great traction & construction. They also seem to stay on my boot well - even on steep mountain sides.

I walk my dog on about 2 miles of trail daily, and in winter, the snow quickly becomes packed sheet ice. Yaktrax work well until the ice gets steep, but I can go through a couple pairs each winter when rocks start coming up through the snow and ice. No worries on that score with the STABILicers. They grip better, too. They do take a little more fiddling around to get on the boot or shoe, and you can't slip them in a pocket, but for grip and durability, they can't be beaten.

At the beginning of my hike, I got talking with other hikers ready to make the trek. They were going in an opposite direction and we would be sure to meet at the top of the mountain.
I mentioned my concern of not having crampons and they showed me these wonderful ice gripers called "stabilicers".
After bushwhacking through the woods (due to the ice on the trail), I met up with the others at the top and they had no problems at all.
I ordered my Stabilicers upon my arrival home and have used them on every hike since. They GRIP! Hard pack snow, blue ice and rocks!
An excellent product. Highly recommended.
