For more than 40 years, Horsham-based Winter Walking has made ice cleats and traction aids that help workers stay upright on icy and snowy surfaces. Its distinctive Color Coded Traction® system matches cleat designs to everyday walking, sustained outdoor work, or jobs that move between indoors and out, while the company backs its products with training and slip-and-fall prevention resources. Winter Walking’s ICE-BREAKER™ with Transitional Traction® was named Occupational Health and Safety Magazine’s 2024 New Product of the Year.
