SnowBoots are "rubber boot covers" that you slip over your RainGuard tips or any tip that is 1 13/16 inches in diameter on the bottom. SnowBoots provide additional safety on snowy and icy conditions outdoors. The SnowBoots are designed to easily slip over your RainGuards or any standard 1 13/16 inch round tip when going out doors during the snow and ice season. They slip off easily when coming back in doors. The radial vent design and "tough" grit surface work in combination to help prevent slipping in the worst conditions. It is our recommendation you buy the system of SnowBoots and RainGuards at a package price..
SnowBoots require a 1 13/16 inch crutch tip or a RainGuard tip. You may order SnowBoots if your tips are 1 13/16 inch in diameter or you may order a pair of RainGuards.
Actual Test Prove They Work!
Patty, the creator's wife, is post polio and since the age of four has used Canadian forearm crutches to be mobile. When she married Bob, he saw that Patty had a difficult time on snow and ice. He looked at hundreds of items and ruled out all of them due to "stability", safety and true effectiveness. He then created and began to manufacture Snow Boots. RainGuards came later to make up a complete system to create a slip resistant way for users of crutches, canes and walkers to remain upright.
Both RainGuards and Snow Boots are sold in pairs. Walkers require two pairs. RainGuards are available here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083K1OQI
Rain-Guards and Snow Boots are a long wearing system and provide the traction you are looking for each day as a user of cane tips, crutch tips and walker tips.
We suggest you order both RainGuards and Snow Boots if you live in areas of ice and snow.
