they dont look so hot, but i slip them off once i get to my destination

Since I live in the world's capital for freezing rain, I have a complete collection of such products. In approximate order of effectiveness with yours, two other possible icy surface walkers are called 'Yaktraxs' and, my personal favourites, for the ice storm pros, 'StabilIcers'. The Yak items use coil springs and are easier on floors than the Icers, which will definately destroy anything indoors except carpeting.

Then we progress to mountaineering products....

Thanks for all the concern for my health. I am fine. The story is worth the fall as I am sure it will be repeated for many christmases to come.

I have seen yak tracks, actually almost purchased them before. maybe now i will.

Trade you! I broke 3 fingers in the parking lot, as I was going ice skating. Set my ring finger while laying on the ground, splinted and taped them together, then went skating.

(yeah, us Macgregors are built tough)

I wear a pair of black golf shoe minus the spikes. Good traction and waterproof, too!

I definitely lean towards Vibram soles in the winter. I'll give up looks for comfort and safety.
