Icebug winter shoes use dynamic studs with patented BUGrip technology. BUGrip is Icebug’s technology for ensuring the best grip in the harshest and slipperiest conditions. The BUGrip sole is developed for winter trails and made from a special rubber compound with 14-19 integrated carbide studs (depending on the model). The combination of stud design and the rubber compound allows the studs to move slightly in their sockets (not rigidly fixed). The dynamic stud retracts into its socket when hitting a very hard surface (like asphalt) so it doesn’t interfere where studs aren’t primary. Yet it provides support on the next step on softer surfaces with less resistance (ice, snow). This ensures the best possible grip on every surface from dry asphalt to mirror-smooth ice.

NB! BUGrip® studded shoes are not recommended for indoor use – studs may damage the floor! For short indoor stays, we recommend using Icebug Overshoe stud covers to protect the floor.
