I am In my 50's and I am terrified of falling and doing myself damage especially to my foot that has had major surgery three times. I live in a very hilly part of New York and I go up and down a very steep hill twice a day because I take public transportation. These ice cleats are great, they are easy to put on and to take off. They are so convenient to carry, I just slip them in a zip lock bag and toss them in my tote bag if I hear that there will be a chance of snow or ice. They fit very well over my huge snow boots and fit my sneakers too. Now I don't have to commit to the heavy snow boots all day if I don't want to. I just make sure to put them on the shoes/boots at my front door when I leave to make sure I don't damage my hardwood floors.

Indoors you can hear me coming from the sound of the cleats on the bottom and I feel a little unsteady/slippery when walking on tile or on NYC's metal subway stairs, so I go slowly and hold the railing. Maybe I just have to get used to them but I am very happy that I found these. Now my heart is no longer in my mouth when going outdoors. My boots provided great insulation against the cold but were as slippery as an eel. Great product.
