Slipping on Wet Trails? You're Not Alone.
Ever lost your footing while hiking after rain, or slipped on a slick rock while fishing along the coast?
It happens — a lot. Wet trails, mossy riverbanks, muddy slopes, and shallow streams are part of every outdoor summer adventure. And these surfaces can be just as treacherous as winter ice.
Whether you're into trail running, surf fishing, wading, or backcountry hiking, slippery ground is the silent hazard you don’t want to ignore.
🥾 Good Shoes Help — But Not Always Enough
Even with great outdoor shoes, standard rubber outsoles often fall short on wet wood, mossy stone, or mud. That’s where ice studs for shoes step in — giving your soles a new level of traction.
And no, they’re not just for snow anymore.
How to Make Your Shoes Slip-Resistant (The Easy Way)
You don’t need to buy new boots — just upgrade what you’ve got.
Here’s how:
Step 1: Choose the Right Screw-in Studs
Shoe studs are small, durable metal spikes that screw into your existing outsoles. They're perfect for creating custom grip on summer terrain.
At Kavonix, we recommend:
- Model 100 – Great for Running shoe studs: light, low-profile, and perfect for flexible soles
- Model 110 – Ideal as Wading Boot studs or Surf Fishing studs: strong grip with minimal weight
- Model 300A / 300B – Built for Hiking/Work Boot studs: deeper threads for thick outsoles and aggressive terrain
Step 2: Install Them in Minutes
Using a basic hex bit or screwdriver, just twist the studs into the sole — toe, midfoot, and heel areas for balance.
No glue. No drilling. No drama.
Step 3: Field-Test Before You Go
Walk on a wet patch of sidewalk or trail to feel the difference before heading into nature.

ForTrail running on wet forest paths? → Model 100 studs keep you light and sure-footed

Why It’s Worth It
Let’s keep it real:
One slip can ruin your day — or your season. Adding screw-in studs to your shoes is like giving them a safety upgrade. You won’t feel them while walking, but you’ll feel the confidence on every tricky step.
They’re removable, reusable, and built to last through all kinds of abuse — summer and winter.
