STABILicers Walk Traction Cleats

Brand: STABILicers

STABILicers Walk takes the work boot approach: multi directional heat treated steel plates moulded into the heel and forefoot of a stretch to fit thermoplastic elastomer binding, with a tread pattern between them. Because heel and forefoot contact the ground at the same time, grip holds through a normal walking stride instead of only when the foot is flat. Some versions add a removable powder strap over the instep for deeper snow.

This is a cleat for people who are outdoors because of a job: shovelling, delivering, walking a route, standing on a frozen loading area. The binding is thick and takes a moment to pull over a boot, and the plates feel firmer underfoot than coils, closer to walking on studs. Sizing is generous and made for boots, so slim city shoes can end up with slack rubber.
