These are AWESOME ice shoes for walking, running or hiking in ice and snow. They have spikes on the bottom that protrude when you walk so you don't slip on ice. My husband bought me these shoes but they are too small for me. I tried wearing them one time in the snow so they are LIKE NEW, but just a little dusty from sitting in the garage for awhile. These are Women's size 9.5. I'm selling a bunch of shoes right now so check my other listings!
