Studded Shoes | Icebug

What is Icebug BUGrip?

BUGrip is Icebug's own grip technology, which is most easily described as dynamic steel studs. Icebug's BUGrip studs drill into the ice and give you the best possible grip, while also springing into the sole when you run or walk on hard surfaces. This gives you a softer and more pleasant experience, regardless of what terrain you are on. The studs of our BUGrip soles are tipped in very durable carbide steel. This makes the studs basically impossible to wear out, even if you walk a lot on asphalt.

Is it uncomfortable to use studded shoes?

The short answer is no - at least not if you use Icebug's studded shoes. Because the studs spring into the sole when you walk on hard surfaces, you get the same comfortable experience as if you walk in un-studded shoes.

What is the difference between Icebug studs and loose spikes?

This is one of our core issues! All anti-slip protection is better than no anti-slip protection, but removable spikes can in no way be compared to a pair of quality studded shoes. A pair of studded shoes with steel studs not only gives you a much better grip; they are also much more comfortable to use and last longer. In addition, you do not have to worry about your spikes coming loose, and honestly - aren't a pair of stylish studded shoes much nicer? Our shoes are designed and developed in Jonsered, Sweden and made to keep you on your feet for many years to come. A pair of studded shoes from Icebug is one of the best investments you can make!
