Ice Shoes

Snow and ice present all kinds of problems for humans and animals alike. Ice shoes are therefore very useful in such conditions. There are ice shoes for people, sometimes referred to as ice boots or ice spiders which are a type of overshoe with metal spikes in the base: see http://www.icespiders.com/ for more information; and for horses there are snow shoes which strap onto the hooves to stop their feet sinking too low into deep snow: see http://www.leeziegler.com/snowsh.html
