Over the shoe crampons are now for sale in Finches.

They are so discreet no one would ever know you were wearing such unfashionable items. You can even keep your own shoes on.

Enough to put a ho ho ho in someones stocking I know but its actually quite nice to get out and about in snow so if you need these to enjoy doing so and to be safe then its money worth spending. I believe the ones Finches have are better and less costly than some of the ones marketed on the internet for snowy footpaths.

I've come across too many people recently with various injuries caused by slipping that I don't intend to be one of them!
