Icespikes are not hardware store screws. They are application-specific engineered premium traction devices with materials and design carefully chosen to optimize performance and longevity.
Materials
Icespikes are manufactured from cold rolled tool steel to withstand extreme mechanical abuse and further hardened to Rockwell hardness 50-52 for exceptional surface penetration and unsurpassed durability.
Design Parameters
Icespikes are specifically designed for their intended purpose -- they are not run-of-the-mill screws! Extra wide washer for better stability on the sole of the shoe added along with locking serrations that firmly engage the rubber sole to prevent loosening of the device. Wider and deeper slot included to promote self cleaning of ice and debris. Sharpened edge incorporated for simply the best traction available.
What Is ICESPIKE™
ICESPIKE™ is an amazing new concept - an innovative non-slip shoe system that in a very simple way offers maximum *Traction *Comfort *Ease of Use *Safety and *Durability!
ICESPIKE™ is a system of patented composite material, heat-hardened ice spikes which provide superior grip and long lasting-lasting durability. The integrity of each ice spike has been tested to maintain hardness and integrity of grip for 500 miles. ICESPIKE™ will not wear down like softer sheet metal or stainless steel, and won't break or crack under intense cold or use.
ICESPIKES™ ice spikes are designed so that the deep groove in each spike is self-cleaning, so there is no buildup of ice, snow or debris.
The ICESPIKE™ system includes 32 spikes and a precision installation tool. It is semi-permanent, will not damage soles, and can be easily removed.
