How do they perform in snow. I want to use them during winter to prevent falls.

Mine have made it through one winter and that includes the salt I throw down and the shoveling and sweeping and they are ready for this one. I did put small screws in to hold them in place. I hope this helps you.

they work great under all conditions. I have used them outdoors in the winter time with no problem.

I've used mine for two snow seasons now and have not had that happen. If you can still return I'd do so.

I have mine outside, but I will bring them in for the winter, just to be safe!

I sure do like this pair. I wear them even if there is only a little snow. I have very bad bones and feel so much safer with this pair than any others I have had. Hope this is helpful.

We have not had black ice here yet this winter to try them on. We have been using them along with Kahtoola microspikes depending on immediate hiking situations. They do well in snow and in areas with snow covered boulders.

I am not sure if they would work in snow. My grandson took them home with him so I never saw them in action! He was very happy when he opened the box, though

If you remain aware of your surroundings, then yes! On smooth surfaces without snow or ice your feet could become unstable. They are so easily removed & reinstalled it really shouldn't be necessary to keep them on, although I have worn them numerous times in grocery stores, etc. without difficulty.

I use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

I don't give mine heavy use. they work well for me using occasionally and as needed. Make me feel more secure on icy/snowy surfaces.

. I got them to trap the water fromMelting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

The manufacturer doesn't recommend it according to the instructions that are included. They suggest moving them "indoors" during rainy weather. I don't know about snow, and depends on how windy it gets where you are, but they'll stay put during "normal" windy conditions. Hope that helps.

I have had mine a couple years and they don,t ever get caught in the snow. Bob

Mine held up to a rough Michigan winter. You're supposed to knock off excess snow throughout the season but I only did that if it was more than about 4 inches at a time

They are great for snowboarding; I had a nasty crash last winter and probably would have broken my tailbone if I wasn't wearing these. I highly recommend them for boarding!

In Hawai`i on the island of O`ahu there are probably at least 100 hikers that use these and NOT for ice or snow. They work great on slopes w/mud or dry dirt. They also grip on wet stream rocks. Here on O`ahu we've been using them for a few years. Note the company does not say they work on anything but ice or snow, but WE KNOW BETTER.

Before mine died (due to frayed wiring), I left them outside once. It snowed, then rained. I didn't find them for a couple of days. But they still worked fine after recharging.
