While the children are looking forward to winter to play with snow and ride from the hill, their parents are awed with horror for the onset of ice and a period when the risk of injury increases at times. If you have not heard of nozzles on shoes from ice, then it's time to get acquainted with them and decide on the expediency of buying.
What do you need to know about anti-ice shoes?
First, you must understand that this is an effective solution, when most of the asphalt is covered with ice cake. With the snow they can not cope, because they just pick up the snow for themselves. There is no need to wear them even at a time when the ice is already melted, and many plots with open asphalt were formed.
Anti-de-ice shoes on the shoes do not affect the appearance of the shoe in any way, as there are several straps on top, no thorns visible. But you can wear such a nozzle only on shoes with a low stroke. There are, of course, options for boots with a heel, but in the conditions of ice it would be strange to take such risks. But on the size of the foot you do not depend, because there are options for both children and adult men.

This means that the nozzle does not accept movement along the asphalt or broken glass, it can deteriorate when it engages by wire or metal rods.
But everything is not so bad, because the attachments to shoes from ice have advantages:
- They are not afraid of low temperatures, which allows them to be worn even at -40 ° C. This is good news for residents of cold regions. In other words, if the temperature is significantly lowered, the metal does not become brittle and you can not worry that it will just break down.
- The price is more than affordable. But this does not mean that the cost will affect the quality.
- Due to the fact that the clutch points are located over the entire area of the sole, you will go at your usual pace, and the gait will not change, will remain natural.
Under the definition of "anti-skid shoes" manufacturers produce several options for such a device. So-called ice drifts seem to envelop the lower part of the shoe, thereby providing braking on the ice surface.
Ledostupy very similar to the first option, but in addition they are also equipped with spikes. Usually such spikes are located closer to the toe of the shoe. There are also more simple variants without thorns with rubber patches,
