I have a very steep driveway. If I wear boots with excellent traction, will I be able to use this??

I would think so. If the driveway asphalt or rough concrete you should be fine.

I've had no trouble clearing my drive way with the blower and my drive is pretty steep.

Probably (they aren't any thicker than a thick pair of cotton socks), but it will be hard to slide your feet into the boots because they are made of rubber and will be sticky.

I'd say that gravel driveway, as long as the gravel isn't too deep, would probably work ok. The tires are not wide enough or aggressive enough to work well on wet grass or mud. I am using this as the basis for a homemade electric go kart and for that purpose, I've had to strengthen a few areas of it.

I don't think studded tires would be good for it. As for snow it would depend on how much was on it and how close to the edges.

I think you need a wide and long footprint that snow shoes have, to be in the deep snow... Yak trax are good in an inch or two of snow or ice

I don't have an asphalt driveway, but they really are skateboard wheels, so try a skateboard and you will have your answer!

the wheels are silicon based so outdoor wear should not be a problem. just remeber that gravel and stones will embedded in the wheel so be sure to clean off. also be sure and wipe off the boot if it gets wet.. my daughter used her's in the driveway(concrete) and garage..

I am not familiar with these boots. If they are "rough-outs", no. Otherwise, just follow Nicole's caution.

Not that I'm aware about the height adjustment. As for the gravel driveway, I would not know how the wheels would work. Since it's over snow, I do not think it matters regardless of the machine type. I'm looking into a Snow Joe SJ620 in addition to my Toro electric.

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.

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

If you have a relatively smooth driveway, there is no problem. There is one spot on mine where the concrete is shifted and there is a small ledge. I know when I hit it, I need to tilt the blade up on an angle to proceed. I am very pleased with my snowcaster.

Probably not. Your footing probably has steel in it which will require something a bit heavier.

No, there is no traction as they are rubber and are smooth all the way around and a dog's nails can pierce the rubber quite easily. A better choice might be, Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. I bought those for one of my dogs as he gets skin infections through his feet very easily and they are proving to be great! I'm going to get another pair of their Rugged Dog Boots for my other dog who runs around quite a bit and has severely scrapped her pads to see if this works. I hope this helps you.

I put on rubber gloves for traction but each time I go through some confusion about which direction to turn the top and bottom. At some point, it works. Ask the manufacturer, maybe they have the answer.

Not too sure about this. They provide good traction, but maybe too good for running. Because they dig in so much, you really have to concentrate on picking your feet up. I would consult with a running expert.

Yes you should be able to use this device with gravity boots, but you should purchase the stabilizer bar for added support. It is a very stable device.
