MORE SECURITY IN WINTER

OPTIMAL GRIP ON BLACK ICE THANKS TO FINE GLASS PARTICLES

The Hanwag IceGrip sole has proved itself as a tried-and-tested winter classic since it was launched over ten years ago. The secret behind it are the microscopically small glass particles in the tread blocks that literally claw into the surface of the ice to provide better slip-resistance. The effect is similar to sand paper. In recent years, we have continued to develop it further and the Hanwag IceGrip sole is now available in a number of different versions.

HANWAG IceGrip Original

Tread depth: 5 mm
IceGrip zones: 14
Details: The most robust and stiffest version
Area of use: Very versatile

HANWAG IceGrip ZT

Tread depth: 4,5 mm
IceGrip zones: 10
Details: A distinctive heel designed specifically for double-stitched boots
Area of use: Wide range of use from frozen city streets to deep snow and winter terrain

HOW DOES THE HANWAG ICEGRIP SOLE WORK?

ICEGRIP TEST SATRA TM144	Normal sole	HANWAG IceGrip
dry	0,497	0,587
wet	0,326	0,412
ice	0,067	0,474
The SATRA PM144 test shows that: The higher the figure, the greater the grip on the different surfaces. 1.00 would be 1G, i.e. exactly the same amount of traction as there is vertical pressure (weight) on the sole.
