Walking is great exercise, but winter ice and snow can get in the way. With shoe spikes for ice weather doesn't need to slow you down. Shoe spikes for ice give you traction. The easy on/off designs give your shoes ice traction that you'll actually use because they're so convenient. With some styles you release a strap, grip boot and remove the shoe spikes for ice. Velcro is also used. They give ordinary shoes ice traction that can be there when you need it and removed when you don't.
