Founded in 1985, icetrekkers'Â innovative traction design was based on tire chains and other vehicle traction devices. The brand addresses a variety of conditions, types of users, and price ranges. Acquired by implus in 2012, ice trekkers offers three types of ice traction devices for all types of shoes: DIAMOND grip, spikes, and chains. Ice trekkers are a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts and urban pedestrians, yet also work well for industrial workers and first responders. These devices are available at specialty outdoor retailers.
