This week many places across the UK – including here in Glasgow – had snow overnight with the weekend seeing a change of plans thanks to the weather.
And for some, it’s still icy outside making it a stressful few moments when leaving your home. But if you’ve got no choice but to brave the snowy downfall, you might as well do it confidently with a handy gadget from Amazon that costs less than £8.
The online retailer is currently selling these snow grips which are currently priced at £7.99 and designed to go over your shoes and boots to prevent slipping in snow and icy conditions.

The handy snow grips easily slip over your footwear, and feature high quality, special ground-gripping steel studs that offer excellent traction on ice and snow, positioned under the ball and heel of your foot, providing you with excellent grip on slippery surfaces, and more importantly making it much easier to walk on ice or snow.
So if you’re experiencing flurries of snow and icy weather conditions wherever you are in the UK and you’re avoiding going out through fear of slipping, then the Amazon snow grips are certainly one to consider, and although they won’t keep you warm while you’re out, they will at least allow you to step out feeling a lot more confident and sturdy than you otherwise would.
They come in a range of sizes to suit everyone and when you make your purchase you’ll also receive 10 replacement studs too.

Amazon customers are loving the snow grips and they’ve received just under 5,000 positive reviews. One customer said: “I’ve only worn these once so I’m not sure of their longevity, but I can say without question that they are amazing. I took the dog for a walk an hour before these arrived on icy streets and I slipped and skidded the whole way. Taking her out again this evening with the grips on, and the pavements were even icier, I had absolutely no problems with the ice.”
