Gain Traction — Whether you are a Runner or Walker!
Icebug sent me these Icebug DTS3 RB9X GTX (ARV $180) Shoes with Traction on Ice and Wet Surfaces
Slipping and falling keeping you from being active?
My mother was an avid walker for most of her retired life. She enjoyed cruising around the neighborhood, no matter the weather, where she could be found chatting with neighbors and handing out medical advice. Alas, she slipped on ice at her mailbox and broke her leg in two places and it put her out of commission for 9 months. She wished that she had been wearing better foot gear, shoes with traction on ice and wet surfaces!
The RB9X outsole provides superb traction even on wet surfaces, yet it matches the durability of an asphalt running shoe.
The Icebug DTS3 RB9X GTX which I was sent, has a Boa lacing system to ensure perfect fit in this waterproof trainer. The Distance Training Shoe (DTS) is great for athletes but a perfect choice for women over 45 as it’s design with comfort in mind. They have soft padding in the collar and tongue, and a foot shaped ergonomic last that your feel will love instantly. I also liked the arch support.
The comfy engineered mesh upper makes sure your foot is protected, stable and comfortable all day long. The high torsion and fully cushioned midsole result in a stable shoe that also protects from over-pronating. The upper has a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane that turns this version of DTS into a three-season companion. The RB9X outsole provides superb traction even on wet surfaces, yet it matches the durability of an asphalt running shoe. Can you say versatile?
PSST: the DTS3 RB9X GTX runs a full size small so order up by one full size. I take an 8.5 and ordered a 9.5 and it fit perfectly.
Icebug notes that the DTS3 RB9X GTX is for the avid runner to the light walker, the waterproof DTS3 RB9X GTX provides comfort, stability, and traction to support all levels of everyday training.
Another Icebug style: the Icebug DTS3 RB9X ($160)
THE TRACTION EXPERT – Icebug provides people with the best possible traction to empower them to have fun and be safe when continuing to be active outdoors, even when it’s slippery. Core users range from world champions to those who need a walker to get to the mail box. Perfect for my mom (and me).

By adding RB9X to our traction technology, a benchmark is set for the best “sticky rubbers” available on the market. Whether you’re taking a mid-winter stroll or racing for gold in a midsummer trail run, Icebug has a grip for you.

Icebug Women’s Anima4 RB9X Traction Running Shoe. They look soft and flexible to handle those long morning runs. The rainbow color gives a bright and happy feeling.
I like the Icebug Women’s DTS2 GORE-TEX BUGrip Studded Traction Running Shoe and would buy them for my daughter. They would be perfect for her active lifestyle. She works at a restaurant and I like the fact that they provide traction on wet floors. She is required to wear black so the color is perfect as well.
I love the Women’s Anima4 because it’s light, and doesn’t absorb water when running in rainy and snowy conditions.

I like the Iceburg in Peony/Pink color. They look so good and I love the traction on the bottom.
couldn’t figure out how to see Men’s shoes, but I would choose a boot style similar to Icebug Women’s Ivalo BUGrip Studded Traction Winter Boot. this would be good for snow and hiking in muddy conditions
The Icebug Women’s Speed BUGrip Studded Hiking Boot looks awesome. I like having extra studded traction and ankle support when the weather is really treacherous.

I like the Icebug Women’s Anima4 RB9X Traction Running Shoe. The features I like about it are the colorful low-profile featuring breathable mesh-lined interior, lace-up closure, and protective toe guard, the closed cell foam padding for minimal water absorption and the molded lacing extensions for added support.
I like the Icebug Women’s Speed BUGrip Studded Hiking Boot. They look comfy and funtional in our ever changing weather.
Traction rubber BUGrip outsole looks like it would make them last a long time! These look great and I bet they feel great to wear!
Icebug DTS3 RB9X GTX for walking and hiking. I think my 90 year old grandmother could use a pair since she is not longer steady, these might just help get her more mobile again.

I like the Daphne boots. They’re cute
I live in Florida, so I don’t necessarily need to run on ice, but in the summer we get rain every day. The Icebug Women’s DTS2 BUGrip Studded Traction Running Shoe will help me run along the wet roads and trails without worrying about falling down.
I like the Icebug Women’s Diana BUGrip Studded Traction Winter Boot. My mom doesn’t drive now and lives up north. They would be perfect for her in the long, hard winters.
