New HT Ice Cleats with Coils on the heels

[jbird68]

Anyone seen the new HT Ice Cleats with coils on the heals in a store yet. I have a pair of the original ice cleats that work great as long as you are walking on your toes. They are super easy to put on your boots. I can only find them on the HT website. I used to be able to get HT stuff from www.Peterson-outdoors.com but it looks like they went out of business.

I've never used any type with the coils.... but I have read many posts on this forum that say the coils flatten out after just a brief time and are nearly useless.....

I bought some boot chains from Cabela's that I thought would work good. But I would still slide around when hand drilling a hole. The HT's have good traction under your toes. But nothing on you heels. They are pretty inexpensive. I might just have to try the newer style if they hit the stores around here. The newer ones also have 2x the amount of spike under your toes.
