STABILicers - Yaktrax on steroids
A joehead who'd been less than completely satisfied with his Yaktrax-like ice-walkers last winter (they broke soon after he started using them) sent me a heads-up re: STABILicers, which he's just purchased ($49.95) to help him get through yet another in an endless series of cold, slippery winters.
They look ferocious, these things do.
From the website:
- Relied upon by hundreds of thousands of postal letter carriers, police and rescue crews, hikers, dog walkers, and many others, STABILicers help provide non-slip traction to keep you mobile in icy and snowy conditions.
Long-lasting VIBRAM soles with 17 case-hardened steel cleats with threaded metal receptacles bite into the slickest ice and snow.
VELCRO straps fit snugly with easy on/off design to fit virtually any size shoe or boot.
In my HUMBLE opinion the use of all-caps for EMPHASIS adds to the general aura of HUMVEE surrounding this product.
Hope it's not all HYPE.

I live in Juneau Alaska where it snows, rains, ices and repeats this cycle about 3 times a week. We also have 100 stairs down to our cabin, so that is my story. These things work!

Hey Joe,
I just did a search of our products on google and up popped your blog - thanks for posting the comments about STABILicers. I hope Matt writes back with his feedback.
I hope (and truly don't think) we over hype STABILicers - they really do work amazingly well, and we get a ton of great feedback from customers. I'm also proud to say we make the STABILicers here in Maine not importing them from China.
Thanks again for the post!

Well, Thank you Joe! I'm honored. These beasts are supposed to arrive tomorrow. Snow forecasted for Friday. Just in time delivery 4 sure. I'll let you know how they work out for me. I might even get a bit of joy marking up the blacktopped parking lot I walk across as I used to do when studded tires were last legal here and I was an exuberant youth.
Keep posting! - Matt
