Reply to: Yay my ice footwear has arrived!

Mrs D. has some but they're actually pretty crap, Germans don't use them as they can be more dangerous. When I was working in Finland they said to walk on ice just point your toes inwards although it does look a bit weird walking.

Cheers luvvie - although I think it was a different website that the other fella linked!

It was a Tchibo site, but pretty certain they were (unsurprisingly) out of stock, I posted it as an example not a recommended supplier.

I've got a feeling the ex wife got hers in the USA at a Wallmart or some such.

I'm sorry, I don't speak Chav...

May I suggest the fair Lady Cailin should learn a little Chavese? It can be most useful and amusing to present the juxtaposition of a sartorially impeccable Lady or Gent with the threatening linguistic persuasion of the Chav. Imagine, if you will, a smart chap with a fine, tailored suit and a top hat, responding to the teenage oik’s vacuous threats with ‘shut up and f**k off or I’ll fetch my homeys and kick your f**kin ‘ed in’.

There's a solution for that ...

You won’t understand the answer though. “Well ya know wot I got well grippy stuff on my nikeys yeah innit an’ I’ll kick your ‘ed in”.

And there's always some lanky 19 year old walking past you really fast, and you just want to shout - "Why aren't you sliding everywhere!"

I know... smug feckers...

Bloody Churchill ran the other day...on the ice.. I kept willing him to fall on his ass... no such luck.

Glad you said that Pogle, I'm going to give them a blast... I'm fed up shuffling up and down the road like an old woman with 2 dodgy hips and 2 wonky knees!

I got mine from ebay - they look like the dual action snow grabbers on the Black toe link - and were about £11 + p&p.

Have just walked to and from school to get Pogle Jr and they were BRILLIANT. I strode forth purposefully. The studs on the bottom made me slide across our tilled hallway though! So I'll be putting them on in the porch in future
But It was really nice to be able to walk quickly again.

Oh yeah - you told me about them things last week - I meant to order some!!

Please can you send me the link again?

Those things make great sense especially for women since female footwear typically lacks any kind of grip.

My ex wife has some that're small and neat enough to fit in her handbag, but make a big difference, rather a neat design for a very practical product.

There's loads of snow and ice still on the ground here still so I'll stick with my walking/climbing boots.

Shame, from the description I was hoping for something a bit more S&M.

[sasguru]

No these
