worked fine on sheet ice on my driveway, can't say if it would work on black ice

We have not had black ice here yet this winter to try them on. We have been using them along with Kahtoola microspikes depending on immediate hiking situations. They do well in snow and in areas with snow covered boulders.

They are great on anything slippery, snow, ice, slimmy rocks, mud. They really work.

It comes 2 to a package. I will say they're great on ice and snow but, they don't last very long. I went through one pair in a month.. A friend of mine suggested stabilicers, i got a pair at the end of last winter season but i haven't tried them out yet, they do look like they're last longer though.

yes very smooth. My nephew has used them at the roller rink and on the black top.

Since there are "treads", snow does build up in them. No different than the soles of a shoe, really. Not sure about icy conditions, as we avoid them.

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

I have yet to use mine in the winter, there is a spike on the bottom of the stick but how effective that will be on ice, I'm not certain.I plan to use mine this winter I figure it will be at least as stable as a cane.

I use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

I've only seen them in black. Running a duracoat on it, is always an option.

I would think pretty good.. I use them for snow blowing in the winter, but they fit well and don't move around. They are well made.

Sorry, I have no idea. Perhaps you can contact the Ice Trekkers company and they can tell you. Good luck.

These are designed to dig into ice. Should work fine on ICY blacktop. Not designed to work on smooth, non-icy surfaces. Very happy with them & am ordering a back-up pair.

I have not had an issue with ice or snow. Last winter was very bad and they held up fine. The black foam actually helps with melting. Only issue I have had is will small leaves accumulating on top of the foam. Just keep them clean and you should be OK.

Compared to on the ground is good. You don't have the cold coming up from the ground and is is an even surface without rocks.

Thus far they are far superior to the Dunlops that came on my Honda Fit. The Dunlops were constantly loosing pressure each time the temps dropped. I have yet to drive them through any significant snow however they have had great traction on wet and slushy roads. I'll report back when it winter finally sets in, in Denver. :)

HI I used them last winter for snow blowing, during our brutal cold winter, and they worked very well. So well, I bought another pair . I think you will be glad to have them on - on the slopes.

They are very good. They hug the windshild and minimal snow/ice build up. Also, easy to clean/

They are made of a double wall plastic. they do not sweat and keep ice for a long while.
