Post by: chopsie on November 24, 2010, 10:17:48 pm: I really like them, If only they had better grips for smooth surfaces. They make quite a few different designs, So they probably have a type that grip these surfaces better.

the 206 is good for walking about on snow and ice,

the 230 is good as well and if you have to use a ladder for bottom windows you can use your ladder with spikes and these!
