Am a letter carrier- No time to take on and off- Will they break if worn on bare concrete or are they unsafe that way?

I have walked several miles wearing grips much of the distance on bare concrete or blacktop. I guess the grips will wear out after a lot of use but I feel very safe walking on ice while wearing them. Actually I have several pair and never leave home without them during the winter.

These are really good. I love mine, but they run small. No need to remove on concrete, just be careful as they might slip with nothing to grip. Works great on ice tho!!

For anyone else who wants to know the answer to this -- the answer is NO WAY!!! I'm on my second pair for one of my older girls, and they just broke again. AVOID.

Yes, they will rust a bit if you don't open it and let it dry after coming in out of the rain. I used mine for commuting, and it would be in a plastic bag in my tote bag once I got on the train. If I forgot to open it up to dry once I got home the joints would rust if left wet overnight. My own fault of course, but sometimes you just forget things once you get home.

Depends where you live. The rush woven seat probably will not hold up under rain. Also, the feet do not have protectors on them. So they will likely chip easily if on bare cement.

They do become brittle. If you don't step on or drop they may be ok. This happens when left in sub freezing tewmp outside.

I haven't had to teeter on rocks just yet but I did run into a big yellow concrete post, the ones that are put in front of buildings so you don't hit the building. They held up really well, no dents or anything just a nice long yellow stripe. I'd assume they'd do really well though on the rocks, not just for mall-crawling, the things are gnarly.

I don't think so. I tried them out for just work use (retail), and they were falling apart (I had a hole in the pad area) in less than a week. I don't imagine they'd hold up too well with more vigorous use.

I wouldn't. I think they are made more for a smooth surface like a blackboard. I think they will wear down too soon used on rough concrete.

No, they will hurt themselves and probably break the shoe. It's a hard plastic.

If you were lifting I would say yes. I still have mine with no signs of them breaking. However for push ups the straps are pretty think and might prevent you from bending your wrist. Hope that helped.

I would not leave it outside for extended periods. The one I have works great indoors and has taken a lot of punishment with no sign of wear.

You could balance them on the floor, but it wouldn't be advised since they get really hot. On cement I wouldn't see any problems however.

I think you should be fine. I have four pair that go from office to trail sixteen hours a day and after a year have held up great. If the carpet is that bad then you might have to go heavier than a 7oz material

I keep them ready for all service workers coming in to my home. I have some that work outside first and have all mud on their shoes and thought they could now walk inside.They are very durable and do not rip. They keep in all dirt/mud and I ask them to remove them out the front door and then I dispose of them.I think they will work well for you.

They would not last on rough concrete, and are not stainless steel so they will rust.

If it is just the metal and not anything broken off you should be fine. They are quite tough!
