Which of these shoes will provide me with a grip if the roads get icy

[BlondieD]

I need to get some new shoes and there's some shoes on offer under black Friday deals.

I don't drive. I need to get a show that will provide me with a grip in case the roads get icy.

I am looking at some of these shoes online. Which of these soles do you think will provide me with a grip?

cant't really tell, my eyes are awful.

they both look grippy to me though, the ones with white on look less front-to-back rolly, so might be the better choice (so your foot won;t tend to go onto toes and perhaps slip backwards)

I’m not sure either would be great on ice.
Could you find some specifically for that purpose? Or get the spike things that go on to the soles.

Yes if ice consider buying Yak Trax which are metal exoskeletons for shoes to give good grip on ice.

The second ones are a bit better obviously. But like pp said, what you need are those things that go over the shoes that are like a tame version of crampons.
Also learn to walk on ice. It's a great deal to do with how you balance your body. Find a friend who is good at it and copy the way they hold their body and keep their legs 'loose' (hard to explain).

I got myself some Yak Tracks, they are absolutely amazing on ice and compacted snow. I can walk normally when everyone else is sliding about or ending up on their backside. They fit easily over normal shoes/boots and you just remove them when you get inside. They are my absolute favourite winter purchase.

Another vote for yaktrax, they are amazing for walking on ice and go over any shoes you already have to make them super grippy.

Neither of those!
Another vote for yaktrax, or else grippy fell running shoes.

Agree with yaktrax. The men at work all laughed and then fell over as I smugly stomped past on the ice

Neither look that great for grip to me. Get some snow boots or walking shoes or over shoes as suggested

Another for the spiky over shoe things. They are revolutionary.

I have DM Chelsea boots and they’re great when it’s icy.

They’re not cheap but they’re probably be on a Black Friday deal with another retailer.

I'm with PP - neither look very good, so buy the ones you like and buy some Yak Trax.

Another vote for yaktrax! I ran 14 miles in them on frozen compacted snow last winter and managed to stay upright.

Walk like your a penguin 🐧 👍

Another vote for Yaktrax from me.
I've just this week bought DH a new pair to go in Xmas stocking but they're currently on sale at Blacks, for about £13 but with an extra 15% off using code BF15

I use yaks. Cant do without them in snow
