    Traction cleats for boots?

    I used to run on fresh and packed snow as well as glare ice, found the carbide studded versions gave more security than the coil spring yak type. Both work but the springs gave an old feeling thru the soles of gore tex running shoes. As far as using on rock, concur with sticky rubber soles
