So living in an area of the US where winters are long and snow and ice is constantly something to think about when getting around on foot I'm constantly on the look out for shoes or boots that minimize slipping yer are wearable everywhere, indoors and out. So this recent segment on Science Friday definitely caught my attention:

Not All Soles Are Created Equal


A search for outdoor gear makers resulted in my finding this product:

GLACIER ICE WATERPROOF INSULATED CARBONMAX 8" BOOT


It includes the "Arctic Grip" technology mentioned in the Science Friday broadcast.

The promotional 20% of offer was an added inducement.

I'll post in the future about my experience with these boots. I hope that it will be no more falling on my ass.
