ABSTRACT:
An ice-gripping sandal for securement to the sole of a boot or other primary footwear. The sandal comprises a sole and plural attachment straps for mounting the sandal on the boot. The sandal's sole has a bottom surface having plural ice-gripping teeth. The attachment straps are secured to the sole and comprise a short front strap and a long front strap and a pair of short rear straps. The long front strap is arranged to be extended through a loop in the short front strap and about the upper of the boot through loops in the rear straps so that its free end is connected to a buckle mounted on the short front strap at the toe of the boot, thereby forming "figure 8" strap pattern. A pair of cooperating VELCRO.RTM. fastening strips are secured onto the long strap to hold the long strap in the buckle. A heel retainer in the form of a projection is located at the rear of the sole of the sandal for frictionally engaging the vertically extending portion of the heel of the primary footwear to aid in holding the sandal in place. The heel retainer includes a top surface which is arranged to be stepped on to facilitate the removal of the sandal from the footwear.
