How are they on bare concrete or very thin ice?

I feel so safe in these....I bought them because I have had fusion done in my neck and lumbar, and need to know I won't fall and cause further damage. So far, so good!

Outstanding although I don't really like the sound of them on bare concrete - :)

They are useless on black ice or very smooth ice. They slow me down alot when I have to walk on bare concrete in them.

I have yet to use these in Snow. I have used them on frozen ground and frozen mud, they worked fine. Ice is a challenge for any tire on any vehicle. You need chains for ice.

Hi~ Speaking as a person who has not had ONE snowflake this entire season -& should have 5' in my yard now, I can give you last years' experience. You say 'STEEP BLACKTOP'. I can't endorse these or any other alleged gripping system because STEEP ICY BLACKTOP is so dangerous. It depends on you, your balancing style, how you move under that shovel and how you transfer your weight. Last year was ice-o-rama for two months. We all living on a slope. The people who wore stabilicers stayed upright. The one day that I did NOT wear mine, I took a bad fall. I leave for Maine in 2 weeks. My stabilicers are already packed. Just the words: steep blacktop,ice & shoveling' make me cringe! Good luck!

The feet apparently screw in to expose the spikes. They're not very long and I wouldn't expect them to hold on a hard surface or ice. But there are spikes. I can't look at my unit first hand as it's in a different location, but that's what I'm remembering.

I've owned one like these before. There are on the lighter end being plastic. Which makes them very fast. They are pretty durable. I won't practice them over cement. But it you where to slam them on any other surface you won't need to worry about them cracking. I enjoyed the ones I had. They're almost as fast as he fake styrofoam ones with the plastic tube inside. There very easy you us. Hope this helps

My daughter uses these primarily on asphalt, but can also skate on the concrete sidewalk. It may depend on te condition of the concrete too. She is a beginning level skater.

I used them for ice and they worked great. I was totally confident I would not slip. I think they are made for ice.

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.

I use them primarily on grass but I stay away from concrete. They are a thrill and we have tons of laughs. They are very slippery if wet so best to keep dry. Highly recommend u r gonna have lots of fun.

43psi. I use them for my year-round commute. I can't speak for snow and floatation, but I get great traction on ice @ around 38psi.

Yes they work great on my concrete floor....I didn't use any installation and it's warm to feet no shoes needed.. ..hope that helps.

I would get either a pair of Solomon's that have very good traction or get a pair of the rubber cleats with the small metal spikes, but only if you absolutely have to run on ice.

Ice packs are thin but dense, better than most other ice packs I've owned. Probably an hour or bit more to completely chill. Buy extras and rotate them. I have several!

Not much, they barely get warm. You can easily handle them bare handed even when on full for quite awhile.

I don't think they would do very well on hot pavement..they aren't very thick, more like ballons like the other person said. Plus, on the pavement they won't hold up very well anyways.

FRANK, also make sure you use some/all of the grip sand with the clear, or when wet / snow etc. it will be like GLAIR ICE / very slipply / if that will be an issue for you. PAUL K.

Seems to have good traction on any surface. Except ice of course. Well worth the price.
