Do those work well on plain ice? I was thinking of getting a pair because there are a lot of ice patches on sidewalks at downspouts in my neighborhood, and walking to work can be an, um, adventure.
They work great for ice and snow. Dangerous on tile floor (don't walk into a store with them on).
I got these
Stabilicers Lite from Leon Leonwood Bean and they are better because they have little rubber doo-dads for inside wear.
Or full crampons and an ice axe.
Well, unless L.L. Bean can do instantaneous delivery, I'll have to settle for YakTrax. They're available at stores one or two T stops from here - and judging by Sarah
's post, I might want to sneak out after lunch to buy a pair before
hell Cambridge freezes over. Argh.
