worked fine on sheet ice on my driveway, can't say if it would work on black ice

We have not had black ice here yet this winter to try them on. We have been using them along with Kahtoola microspikes depending on immediate hiking situations. They do well in snow and in areas with snow covered boulders.

They are great on anything slippery, snow, ice, slimmy rocks, mud. They really work.

As good as any chain. When it comes to ice or black ice and freezing rain which is outside my area right now but thank God it's melting! Best thing for ice is stay off the roads. Nothing works very well in solid ice.

Sorry...I am not an ice fisher. In fact, I am a 76 yr old woman who has had both hips replaced. Fell four years ago on black ice while walking my dog & broke my wrist. Thus, my fear of falling. Not fearful any longer a long as I'm wearing these trekkers. Still have a dog ( my third retired racing greyhound) that I walk 4-5 times each day. I live in a Chicago suburb & we've had a "powerful" winter...still, no problems.

Seems to have good traction on any surface. Except ice of course. Well worth the price.

It is quite fine and a little bit fluffy. Not quite shaved ice, but not nearly as coarse as some snowcones.

43psi. I use them for my year-round commute. I can't speak for snow and floatation, but I get great traction on ice @ around 38psi.

That's a hard question to answer. I haven't put any ice that it cannot shave with ease. It never makes a noise that indicates the motor is straining.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

They are fine for snow, but on ice they have zero grip. Our dog runs fine in the snow and doesn't get cold feet for over twenty minutes, but it's comical on ice due to the smooth surface (the pawz label offers some traction but not enough for more than a few steps). We attempt to avoid it with our dog at all costs, but snow is fine.

Yes, no problem. We have had them on the house for over 3 years and water, snow, ice is not an issue.

I'm not sure..they worked fine above freezing but the colder it got the worse they got.

I live in panam, so I don`t know about cold. but with the water splashing they are perfect. I do recomen them.

That was how my commute to work was. Half was in ice and snow and the other on sidewalks. These were perfect for that. I took them for an intense hiking trip around a bunch of frozen waterfalls - not good for that at all.

The person who told me about them is a runner. I love them and/but they occasionally slip off/need to be adjusted if very sticky ice/snow so they're highly recommended AND be cautious!

I wear these below freezing without too much trouble. They're cold for the first mile, but fine for the rest of the ride. I'm surprised anyone can stand to wear them in the 60's as I find them unbearably hot above 50 or so. This just goes to show how differently people perceive warmth.

Good. They will give you a little bit of traction to get you moving again. They don't slip much, if at all, on ice.

Can't say for sure, we got them toward the end of winter and they did fine with some snow and ice, but they have not been exposed for an entire winter season. We are in the mid-Atlantic area.
