K1 Series V9770350 Hi Vis Ice Cleat, Mid-Sole High Profile

Hi-Vis Ice Cleats With Ten Molded-In Tungsten Carbide Spikes for Deep Tread Boots | K1 Series

Product Overview

A crew in hi-vis outerwear is bright from the waist up and dark from the knees down. The K1 Series Hi Vis Mid-Sole High Profile puts an orange strap across the boot, on a cleat carrying ten molded-in tungsten carbide spikes. One size, adjustable, and it rotates to the top of the foot when traction is not wanted.

The high-profile pad is the version for extra-deep treads, high arches, and an aggressive heel. Inside, a knurled lining grips the sole so the cleat stays where it was set. Part of the K1 Series line from SureWerx.

Quick Product Details

• Strap: hi-viz orange, elastic, adjustable

• Profile: high. For deep treads, high arches, and aggressive heels.

• Inner lining: knurled, grips the boot sole

• Rotation: turns to the top of the foot for driving, climbing, and indoor use

• Size: one size fits most

Key Features

• An orange strap at ground level: A headlight beam is aimed at the road, which is where the boots are, and boots are usually the darkest thing a worker has on. Hi-vis ice cleats put a band of colour across the foot where nothing else is bright.

• Ten spikes, molded into the pad: The tungsten carbide studs are molded in rather than fitted, so there is nothing to work loose and nothing to drop in the snow. Molded-in tungsten carbide spikes trade field-serviceability for a fixing with nothing that can come loose.

• Knurled lining holds the cleat in place: The inside face of the pad is knurled, so it grips the boot sole instead of sliding across it. A cleat that has rotated out of position is a cleat that is no longer making ground contact.

• Rotates clear without coming off: The pad turns around the strap to the top of the foot for driving, climbing a ladder, or crossing a finished floor. Nothing comes off the boot between an icy yard and a truck cab.

Which Boots It Fits

High profile is the version for extra-deep treads, high arches, and an aggressive heel. Ice cleats for lineman boots and logger boots sit in this category, and on a shallower sole, a shorter profile seats better. If the crew does not need hi-vis ice cleats, the same cleat comes with a black strap, and the rest of the K1 Series range covers the other profiles.

Applications

The K1 Series Hi Vis Mid-Sole High Profile suits work in low light on a heavily lugged boot. Ice cleats for night shift work are a different specification from daytime traction, because the cleat sits in the part of a headlight beam that reaches the ground.

• Ice cleats for forestry crews on early and late shifts

• Power and utilities line work through winter

• Oil, gas and pipeline sites in deep freeze conditions

• Yard and depot movement at shift change

• Roadside and municipal crews already in hi-vis outerwear

High-visibility traction aids close the gap the rest of the PPE leaves at ground level. On this range, that is the same cleat a deep-lugged boot needs anyway, which leaves strap colour as the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there hi-vis ice cleats?

Yes. K1 makes the mid-sole cleat with either a black or a hi-viz orange strap, and the cleat underneath is identical. Strap colour is the whole difference, so a crew that wants high-visibility traction aids at ground level gives up nothing in grip to get it.

Why choose a hi-vis strap over black?

Visibility at boot height. A worker in a hi-vis vest is bright from the waist up and dark below the knee, and a headlight beam is aimed at the road where the boots are. Hi-vis ice cleats add color there, which is why ice cleats for night shift work are usually specified in orange rather than black.

What ice cleats work on lineman boots?

The high-profile version. Ice cleats for lineman boots have to reach the ground through a deep tread and past an aggressive heel, which a shorter cleat cannot do. The K1 Series Hi Vis Mid-Sole High Profile is the one made for that sole.

Can ice cleat spikes be replaced?

Not on this model. Molded-in tungsten carbide spikes are formed into the pad during manufacture rather than screwed in afterward, so there is no fastener to back out and no spare to carry on the truck. A worn pad gets replaced as a unit.

How do ice cleats stay on the boot?

Two things work together. The elastic strap tensions around the boot, and the face that contacts the sole is textured rather than smooth, so it resists sliding under load. Neither does the job alone, because a strap without the texture lets the cleat creep around the foot as the worker walks.
