Californians and those residing in other warm climates are lucky -- while an occasional mudslide, earthquake or fire may occur, rarely will they worry about slipping on glazed icy surfaces. A fear since falling on black ice in 2004 and breaking a kneecap, a search for ice stabilizers has ensued. Previously discussed here, ice stabilizers keep one on their feet while walking on icy glazed surfaces. Some stabilizers look heavy and clunky and now some don't.Stabilicers snow and ice cleats bite into ice and snow keeping the wearer on their feet. Available in two strengths, original Stabilicers ($49.95) provide heavy-duty traction for walking and hiking and Stabilicers Lite ($21.95) pull on fast for quick errands. Both come with strong adjustable elastomer straps. Additional replacement cleats are also available. The stabilizers can strap onto any pair of shoes or boots, providing safe footing in poor weather.
Plow & Hearth offers the product in several sizes to keep even Chicagoland commuters up and walking from the train station to their office without looking dorky or cumbersome. Still think these are dorky? Have you ever slipped and landed under a vehicle? That, my dear readers, is dorky.
