Don't Fall On Ice Anymore.

I posted these pictures on the "Rain" thread and thought I would start this thread in hopes more would see it and hopefully save some TOO'zers from a nasty spill / fall.

As most of you know I work on a drilling rig. Winter months can be harsh, cold and dangerous with cold temperatures and ice.
The pad can get very slick and icy at times and falls happen. I took one a couple weeks ago and have had so many slips and near falls I can't count them all already this winter.

My fiancé's brothers family asked for some Christmas gift ideas and I gave them one and was lucky enough to receive it. These babies have a rubber pc that slips over toe and heel of boots, shoes, waders or what ever you are wearing on your feet and has coils that are on the bottom of your soles.

I got back to the rig, slipped them on in seconds and have not ONCE even came close to a slip, slide, or fall!!! Some of the guys on the rig are going to purchase them as well.

Only funny thing is the guys kid me because they can see every where I walk with the coil imprints. I tell em those are Turkey tracks. mischeif.gif

Hope this is good information and it saves yens from a slip, fall, or something more serious.

Nice heads up Jeff! Thanks for the info! Do you know where they got them off hand?

I am not sure but I can ask. I would think Gander Mountain, Cabalas, Dicks or most Outdoor stores would carry them.

I swear I will always have these during the winter months here on the Rig and am going to try them out in the river as well.

Found them on Amazon for $18.00

Here is another...............

LOL, my boots are over years old and I wear the hell out them here on the Rig. No need for tread when you have these on, besides "tread" does not help on ice, just ask all the rough necks. :smiley_depressive:
