Korkers Ice Walker
Korkers works out of Portland, Oregon and made its name on interchangeable soles for wading boots, so grip on wet, uneven ground is the company's home ground. The Ice Walker is its everyday winter device: a rubber shell that pulls over street shoes or boots with carbide tipped studs underneath, built for pavement, driveways and short walks rather than alpine work.
Customer service is direct and reachable by phone, and warranty coverage on Korkers gear runs a minimum of one year, which is more than most cheap traction devices offer. The niche is narrow, though. On a mountain approach or steep frozen singletrack a chain and spike system is safer, and the shell needs a tight size match to stay put on tapered dress shoes.
