Winter’s beauty is abundant. Icicles, snowbanks, and frozen lakes make up the gorgeous winter landscapes we enjoy daily. But, with their beauty comes danger. Icy surfaces are a recipe for a slip-and-fall accident that can keep you from enjoying time in this beautiful nature. Icebug has a solution!
Icebug is a Swedish-based company here to save the day with their traction footwear. They make shoes and boots with dynamic, carbide steel-tipped studs built into the outsole of their BUGrip styles. These studs grip into ice and snow but respond to the pressure of your step to retract into the sole and allow you to walk normally on concrete and asphalt.
BUGrip boots allow everyone, from casual walkers to avid hikers, to get outside during the winter without fear of slipping. BUGrip boots come in varied shaft heights and styles, but each of these boots offers a reliable, studded grip and keeps your feet warm as you walk.
Metro2 BUGrip
Metro2 BUGrip has been a best-seller for over 15 years – for good reason! Metro2 is an easy on-off boot with Icebug’s best traction outsole, BUGrip. 16 dynamic, carbide steel-tipped studs provide grip on icy streets and roads, giving you confidence on winter walks.
The suede upper is made from leather that has received a gold rating from the Leather Working Group (LWG). It is also water-repellant, meaning you can stay outside longer, even as it snows. The last is slightly wide, giving you room to wear a warm sock and the freedom to walk for long periods. The walking platform has an ample forefoot rocker and ESS stabilizer, making Metro2 BUGrip a great choice for secure winter walks.
Ivalo4 BUGrip
Ivalo4 is the latest version of an Icebug favorite. Though the upper has changed, Ivalo4 is as light and convenient as ever. The high shaft and sleek quilted upper give Ivalo4 a timeless look, ensuring that it will be a favorite that you choose for many years. 16 dynamic, carbide steel-tipped studs grip into ice and snow, meaning you feel secure with every step you take.
The quilted upper is not only stylish but also durable. Made out of RipStop textile with a fleece lining, the upper is resistant to tearing and will keep your feet warm for many years. The weather-resistant zipper provides easy access and protection from the elements as you stroll along frozen paths.
Adak ReWool BUGrip BUGdri
Adak is a true winter adventure boot with a timeless Scandinavian design. A classic leather upper and wool collar give Adak a classic look, while 16 dynamic, carbide steel-tipped studs grip into ice and snow for unmatched traction.
