Ice Cleats

Ice cleats are a great way to help prevent falls, especially for those who work in outdoor areas that may not be treated with ice melt. They feature metal spikes, or cleats, that can be attached to boots, shoes, or other winter footwear. The cleats dig into the ice as you walk to create better traction. It’s a good idea to use ice cleats when working outdoors, shoveling snow, or applying ice melt.

Icy paths and driveways are inevitable. You won’t be outside shoveling and de-icing in the middle of a snowstorm. With regular maintenance and the right tools and products, you can keep your property safe through most of the winter.
