For me, I don't want to mess around with "borium shoes", often called ice shoes. Essentially a studded horseshoe. Flat shoes are sled runners on ice and snow. They have much better footing barefoot than plain shod.

When I build ice shoes, I prefer using Stoody tube borium (Like above) rather than that drill tek crap. smile


Same here.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
