Icegripper is a UK-based family company specialising in winter traction footwear and accessories, founded after the owners experienced slips on icy Alpine streets. Working with a car tyre chain manufacturer, they developed anti-slip devices for shoes and boots and grew into one of the broadest specialist winter traction retailers in the UK. Their products are trusted by emergency services personnel, postal workers, local authorities, oil industry workers, and everyday outdoor enthusiasts across the UK and Europe. As well as their own branded boots and ice grips, Icegripper stocks leading names including Yaktrax, Kahtoola, STABILicers, OLANG, and OC System.
The core of the Icegripper range is their selection of traction devices that attach to existing shoes and boots. Products cover a wide spectrum of use – from lightweight micro crampons for everyday commuters and postal workers to heavy-duty cleats designed for professional use in the oil industry or by emergency services. Traction devices in the range include spiked cleats, coil-style grips, and strap-on snow chains that fit over most styles of footwear. Icegripper states that they have tested over 100 ice grips and cleats before selecting which products to stock, helping customers choose the right device for their conditions.
Beyond add-on traction devices, Icegripper offers dedicated winter boots designed to combine insulation and built-in anti-slip soles. Their own ICEGRIPPER branded boots are available in men's, women's, and unisex styles, alongside snow boots and ski boots from specialist brands including OLANG. Whether for daily winter walking, skiing, or demanding outdoor activities, the boot range is intended to provide stability and warmth without requiring a separate cleat attachment.
Icegripper also stocks a supporting range of cold-weather accessories to complement their footwear products, including:
The accessories range is aimed at completing a full winter outdoor kit, allowing customers to equip themselves for snowy and icy conditions from head to toe.
Icegripper serves both professional and domestic customers. Professionals who rely on their products include paramedics, fire crews, postal workers, and workers in the oil and energy sectors where outdoor work in icy conditions is common. Recreational customers include hikers, trail runners, ski resort visitors, and ordinary commuters who need reliable grip on icy pavements and paths. The company operates as a member of the Federation of Small Businesses and offers expert advice by phone, chat, or email alongside a price matching guarantee.

Yes. Icegripper specifically highlights emergency services personnel, postal workers, and local authority staff among their professional customer base. They stock products in varying sizes and clip configurations suited to the footwear commonly worn by these groups.
Spiked traction devices should be removed before entering buildings. Metal spikes and studs can scratch hard floors and may themselves become a slip hazard on smooth indoor surfaces. Icegripper advises removing grips at the door and notes they are not suitable for driving, as spikes can interfere with pedal control.
