Hi Irene,

We haven’t tested them on snow and ice as haven’t had the weather, but we’ve tested them on the wet on pavement and tarmac and they had good grip, there was no slipping underfoot and felt safe walking. However, I wouldn’t say they are the most grippy soles so may not be suitable for snow and ice. If you’re looking specifically for shoes with good grip in snow, I recommend having a look at our hiking boot post here, as shoes we recommend there have good solid soles.

All the best,

Bethany @ Ecothes

Glad you found our review useful Debra! We haven’t tested them in particularly slippery or wet conditions, but in the dry for everyday wear, they do provide good enough traction — grip isn’t an issue we’ve noticed yet. If there’s any other questions you have, just let us know!

You gave far more information than the Giesswein website. Question about the soles: how “grippy” are they? They look like they won’t provide much traction.
