ABSTRACT:
An improved footwear traction device designed to provide enhanced traction for the wearer while walking on ice, snow, and other slippery surfaces without causing damage to finished floors and carpeting is disclosed. The footwear traction device includes an elastic member having releasable engaging member for attaching the device about the sole and instep of the wearer's shoe. The traction device includes a reversible, frictional component fabricated from a hygroscopic fibrous material which is instantaneously frozen when the water-laden frictional component is placed into direct contact with an icy surface thereby temporarily freezing the wearer's shoe to the icy surface to provide improved traction. The frictional component is constructed to include an interrupted, ribbed pattern on the ground engaging surface thereof which is disposed transversely to the direction of walking so as to provide a measure of mechanical resistance to slippage on surfaces which are not completely frozen.
