If you’re struggling to get around quickly and safely in the snow and ice, these add-on shoe cleats are a must, with hundreds of five star reviews – and they’re delivered quickly
With snow, ice and freezing temperatures still gripping much of the country, stepping out of your house can be treacherous. Luckily we’ve found a solution that’ll save you buying expensive new boots – and if you’re quick, you can have it delivered tomorrow.
When even our trainers and practical walking boots weren’t grippy enough for the icy pavements, we took to Amazon to find a practical and affordable solution, and came across the Grectek GT10 Light Ice Snow Grips, priced at £15.99 and available in three shoe sizes. Designed for light outdoor activity (i.e. not professional mountain climbing), these rubber grips slip on over your own shoes or boots, and have little spikes on the bottom to provide extra grip.
What’s more, if you’re an Amazon Prime member you can get free next day delivery on these, which is ideal with the cold weather set to last over the weekend.

These Grectek accessories are one of the highest rated shoe grips on Amazon, with customers finding them effective, comfortable and good value.
“These make walking around in snow and ice so much easier and more relaxing, particularly when going up/down a slope. Well worth buying. They fit well over my size 39 snow boots,” one happy customer wrote.
“Just what I needed to get through this winter season, gives a lot of confidence when walking on ice. Would definitely recommend,” another review reads.
And if you have any cold weather holidays planned, they’re a great addition to your suitcase. “Were invaluable in Iceland and a small item to pack,” another shopper wrote. “Great for icy pavements.”
The one piece of advice that shoppers give before buying is that you may need to go up a size from the recommended, especially if your footwear is thicker. One person wrote: “The only thing I would say is maybe size up if you have chunky footwear as my size 10 snow boots were a bit on the big size for the XL size spikes even though that was the recommended size, however my partners Large spikes were the perfect fit for her size 6 snow boots which were slimmer in dimensions.”
With this surely not the last of the cold weather we’ll see this winter, we think these handy shoe grips are a must-have.
We’ve also found plenty of other cold weather essentials to keep you safe and warm this winter, including a compact heater that’s perfect when working from home, a nifty electric ice scraper ideal for quickly defrosting the car in the mornings, and the cosy leggings worn by Claudia Winkleman on The Traitors.
