The road into town from our house is steep, and when covered with ice and snow, extremely treacherous.

Because the city of Penticton not only does not clear the sidewalks, but plows snow onto the sidewalks, Ed and I either had to give up walking in winter, or find a better way to deal with the danger.

We therefore bought these snow grips for our shoes.

These lightweight, easy-to-use snow grips offer such unhindered ease of movement and are so effective that the US National Bobsled Team used them confidently through snow and ice.
