Thankful For Good Footwear On Ice

Today we are all thankful for Mom having good footwear on ice. The weather has been hot and cold which means ice all over the place. Despite the roads and sidewalks being like ice rinks, we are still out for our walks twice a day.

We snapped this yesterday morning on the sidewalk. It is all solid ice. We dogs walk more in the snow but Mom walks right over the ice like it is nothing at all.

The roads have disgusting dirty ice but smoother ice, and lately pretty much the entire roadway.

Back in 2017, Mom broke her ankle when she slipped on some ice hidden under snow while out for a run with me. A good friend told her about icebug shoes that come from Sweden. Mom found it hard to believe that these shoes and boots could really be so good on ice. She bought the cheapest pair they had in her size on Amazon and tried them out. They are amazing!

The spikes are adaptable meaning the spikes adjust to the surface be it ice, snow, or asphalt. They are also waterproof in case you end up in puddles. Mom wears them all the time now as good footwear is necessary when you walk as much as she does with the three of us. She has four pairs in the closet, an old pair for when there is barely any ice, a running pair, the pair above and for snowy days, boots. Even walking five or so miles a day in them, they do last two to three years. Mom is afraid to go out walking with us in the winter without them. She has told tons of dog friends about them and everyone that has gotten a pair is also amazed. We sure are thankful she has these to keep her upright and in one piece!
