What
kind of shoes can I use my STABILicers SPORT with?
You can wear STABILicers SPORT with Athletic shoes, casual
shoes, hiking boots or work boots. (Sorry, high heels & larger boots
are out.)
How
do I attach STABILicers SPORT to my shoes?
STABILicers SPORT have an Elastomer tension fit binding system
that will keep them snugly in place. Because STABILicers SPORT
stretch over a shoe or boot they take more effort to put on than the
original STABILicers making them less desirable for anyone
who has arthritis in their hands.
Will
my STABILicers SPORT stretch out, making them not fit over
time?
STABILicers SPORT are made out of a special Elastomer compound
that allows them to have a great memory & are designed to hold their
shape. However, if left on a pair of shoes or crumpled up in a closet,
they may change their shape slightly.
On
what surfaces can I wear STABILicers SPORT?
STABILicers SPORT can be worn on most surfaces found outdoors.
They are not intended for indoor use and can scratch floors and catch
on carpeting. STABILicers SPORT are also not designed to work
on hard slick surfaces such as tile, polished stones or metals that
are totally smooth.
Do
STABILicers SPORT provide traction on clear pavement or sidewalks?
Yes, STABILicers SPORT grip pavement, rock, sidewalks, and
most outdoor conditions.
How
do I know what size to order?
Check
out our Size Chart. Select your
shoe size and find the corresponding STABILicers SPORT size.
If you are between two sizes, order the smaller size if you are buying
them primarily for running shoes and the larger if you are getting
them for boots. A close fit is all you need; it doesn't need to be
exact.
How
often do I need to replace the cleats?
It will depend on how often you wear STABILicers SPORT and
on what surfaces. If you use them only on ice and snow they will last
indefinitely. If, however, you wear them on pavement, they will need
to be checked for wear more frequently. Replace cleats when the surface
area becomes smooth.
How
do I replace the cleats?
The cleats can be changed very easily with a socket wrench or screwdriver.
Replacement cleats are available in bags of 25, but only a few on each
sole will need to be changed at once.
Can
I just buy screws at the hardware store for replacement?
STABILicers SPORT cleats are designed to fit into a threaded
receptacle and are made from case-hardened steel to reduce wear. They
have a specially designed shape that bites into ice.
How
will temperature changes affect my STABILicers SPORT?
STABILicers SPORT are designed for winter use, so cold weather
will not affect them. However, STABILicers SPORT are not fond
of high heat & should not be left out in direct sunlight or in a
stuffy car.
Should I pre-stretch my STABILicers SPORT before I try them on for the first time? Yes pre-stretching your new STABILicers SPORT will allow for an easier first time fit.
How should I store my STABILicers SPORT over the summer? Remove the cleats and store them in a dry area. STABILicers SPORT should not be stored in any high heat location (such as porches or in cars).
