I need something that does very well on ice - like 'black' ice? Any experiences with these boots and tough ice?

Old question but I have tried many different sole types to handle ice and have realized it doesn't make much difference. Get yourself some crampons, spikes or the spring tractions and save yourself a fall.

Are you using these for just getting around town? Any boot with a stiff lugged sole like this will do OK, but you really want traction spikes or something similar you can just throw over the top of your shoes/boots. No boot sole does well on black ice!
