These are great for walking on my frozen driveway, the packed down paths made by my dogs in the yard.  No more slipping and sliding and taking a spill when I head out to the wood pile or car.  Wasted money last year on a pair of Yak Trax with cleats, which pulled out (and could not be replaced) when little stress was put on them.  Love the fact that the cleats are replaceable on this model of STABILicers; despite really giving them a workout lately, have not had to replace even one cleat so far.  The older we get, the more cautious we need to be about falls.  I'm recommending these to everyone who wants a reliable and safer way of walking in the winter.
