Am a letter carrier- No time to take on and off- Will they break if worn on bare concrete or are they unsafe that way?

I have walked several miles wearing grips much of the distance on bare concrete or blacktop. I guess the grips will wear out after a lot of use but I feel very safe walking on ice while wearing them. Actually I have several pair and never leave home without them during the winter.

These are really good. I love mine, but they run small. No need to remove on concrete, just be careful as they might slip with nothing to grip. Works great on ice tho!!

I'm sure the safest would be before you put them on. But it can be used while wearing them

Probably not. They have a carpet like surface for sliding on wood floors. They probably will not slide on Concrete because the surface is rough compared to a wood floor.

I use them on a concrete floor but do not have any objects on them. They may simply flatten out a bit.

I don't know but I think there's no need to do that.It's a kind of soft plastic.They should be put in a kind of ''pocket'' on the knees and not come in direct touch with the ground.I plan to use them that way in SHTF situation.

No, they will hurt themselves and probably break the shoe. It's a hard plastic.

They are soft enough for playing on (playing like standing and sitting, not like wrestling and falling), and certainly don't pose any hazards as far as breaking or damaging them. If properly put together they won't slide apart and leave exposed concrete or something. They are slightly textured which might be a disadvantage for use of toys like cars and things. My only real concern would be with their chemical make up. I'm not a chemist or a biologist so I can't speak to any chemical hazards associated with them. I would think they would be safe, but they do probably contain some plastic or petro chemical.

I don't think they would break. I have dropped them on my stone walkway (I have about 20 of them on the path to our house) when we were installing them, and they didn't break. They are heavily walked on, snow blowed over and many things dropped on them, and to date, none have broken. I have had them in place for two winters now.

My husband uses them on the carpet, but I bet they would be fine on the bare floor. There aren't any holes to hook them on to the hook mounted in the floor. These mats are so thick snd sturdy the don't move at all, hubby just loves them.

I would not leave it outside for extended periods. The one I have works great indoors and has taken a lot of punishment with no sign of wear.

If it is just the metal and not anything broken off you should be fine. They are quite tough!

Not that I know of, but unless they fall or get wet I don't see any really bad way that they can break or become inoperable.

I think you should be fine. I have four pair that go from office to trail sixteen hours a day and after a year have held up great. If the carpet is that bad then you might have to go heavier than a 7oz material

I used them without any socks and didn't have issues. they are a little stiff.

These mailers have no padding. You would have to wrap the fragile item in thick layers of bubble before shipping in these mailers. I would not mail fragile items in these mailers, because if the fragile item breaks, the courier company can very easily deny you the claim on grounds of inappropriate packaging, despite the fact that you may have covered insurance.

I have only worn them in the metro bus and at work -- so, pretty stationary use is all I have basically ever used them for.They are decently fit snug-ish on my head, but I don't think they'd withstand running without getting knocked around a little..... but I could be wrong.

No, I wouldn't use them on concrete. They must be used on hardwoods or a smooth floor.
