Sticky rubber has ups and downs

By Backcountry.com Employee April 20, 2004

Great on rock, garbage on ice. These things are extremely comfy. I wear them on a daily basis as my kick around shoes. The sticky rubber provides great traction PROVIDED that what you're walking on isn't cold. When cold, the rubber's traction is rubbish. Don't even try these things on ice. That being said, everywhere else they're fantastic. They fit my high arches decently, and give nice cradling. The insoles and tread are pretty ordinary, nothing amazing but nothing terrible either.
To summarize - These are killer in canyon country or as bum around shoes, not so hot for winter usage.
