Diamond Grip attaches dozens of case hardened, alloy steel grippers to the bottom of a shoe or boot. The patented six-pointed 'diamond beads" are strung on steel aircraft cable and put literally hundreds of biting edges under the heel and the ball of the foot to grip the slickest ice or hardest-packed snow. Unlike spikes, Diamond Grip's unique design spreads load evenly from heel to toe, eliminating uncomfortable 'hotspots." And the rubber sling that secures Diamond Grips to a shoe or boot never touches the walking surface, eliminating wear. Diamond Grips are designed for all day wear on ice and snow, are durable enough for the transition across asphalt and cement, and are easy to put on and take off for workers who have to get in and out of vehicles. Diamond Grip goes on in one smooth motion and stays on until you're ready to slip it off. The patented gripper design is self-clearing so there is no risk of icing up and losing traction, and the cleats are comfortable enough to wear all day and durable enough to last for years. Diamond Grip cleats are available from Grainger and a variety of other safety product distributors, outdoor retailers, and ICEtrekkers.com.
