I just purchased a pair of Stabilicers for traction control in winter running. They were featured in a recent article in Runner's World, and my local running store was selling them, so I picked up a pair. I attached them to one of my pairs of running shoes and figure I'll use them when the roads are snowy/icy, but I haven't had a need for them yet this winter.
Has anyone else tried these? Are they very effective? How long do the "bolts" last? A replacement bag is available for $5 and has maybe 25 extra bolts. How do they perform on regular blacktop (in stretches between snow/ice)?
I'm sure I'll get a chance to try them out soon in our wonderful Michigan winter wonderland, but was just wondering if any of you had any input on them.

I haven't, but they're mentioned in this newspaper review article - including the wear issue, although not quantified. adn.com2666130p 2707203c.htmlOpen ↗
