I thought the chains were pretty effective on ice, but I don't like wearing them on clear spots so they just don't get much use. If the whole town is an ice rink that's the only time ice keeps us from walking. I tried the spiral type three times and while they helped with slipping, I didn't like that the coils would flatten even though I wasn't that heavy and they would break and spiral right off the rubber. The chains don't have that issue at all. I'm happy to have them just in case I need them. I may look into the new style you mentioned. Thanks for the tip!

I'm so sorry to hear of your fall and injury! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
