About Us

BORN IN THE COLD.

Winter conditions shouldn't dictate your life. At Glacial Step, we believe that safety is a basic right, not a luxury.

The idea for Glacial Step was born from a simple frustration: Winter gear wasn't reliable enough. We were tired of "universal" spikes that snapped after one freeze, and cheap rubber that lost its elasticity when the temperature dropped below zero. We were tired of walking with fear on our own driveways.

We set out to change that.

INDUSTRIAL-GRADE SAFETY FOR EVERYONE.

We don't build toys. We build traction systems designed to handle the harshest environments on earth. Whether you are a delivery driver braving unplowed streets, an outdoor worker on a job site, or just walking the dog on a frozen morning, you deserve to step with absolute confidence.

Our Core Principles:

  • Zero Compromise Materials: We use Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) instead of standard rubber because it stays flexible down to -40°F. If it can't handle the deep freeze, we don't sell it.

  • Bite, Don't Slip: Our studs are heat-treated alloy steel, designed to pierce black ice rather than just sliding over it.

  • Built for Real Life: Gear should be easy to use. Our designs are made to slide on and off in seconds, fitting over everything from work boots to dress shoes.

CONQUER THE ICE.

Every year, thousands of people are injured in slip-and-fall accidents. Our mission is to lower that number. When you wear Glacial Step, you aren't just wearing cleats; you are wearing peace of mind.

Stay safe out there.
