Since this weather in now forecast for another week with even worse temperatures and more snow I thought some people with icy yards like me could do with a boot recommendation.
I bought some fly fishing boots, designed for climbing over slippery rocks. They have a spongy sole which you can buy studs to screw into and are completely waterproof rubberized canvas. They are absolutely amazing on ice and packed snow and I can honestly say that they have made my outdoor chores much, much easier. And given me so much confidence that I am not going to break my ankle at any moment.
The boots and studs can be bought on eBay. I have men's 6 size and I normal take womens 6 and a 1/2. They are too big, but cork insoles and two pairs of walking socks make them work fine and they are surprisingly comfortable, enough to walk to my friend's party 3 miles away in them last night.
Hope that helps someone!
