Here's a particularly timely video, what with ERs around the country being swamped by people with skull fractures and broken hips incurred after falling on the recent snow-turned-into-rock-hard-ice.
You can find these superb lifesaving ice spikes — which strap on over your shoes — on Amazon, priced from around $38 and up depending on how rugged you need them to be.
The ones I'm using in the video up top are here: I bought them at least 10 years ago and they're fantastic.
Note: mine are Gen 1; there are many more recent variations.
Stabilicer Maxx 2 hands down (or not since you can walk on glare ice with them). Warning, the company has been bought out by corporate sorts who have cheapened the straps - either find an NOS pair on Ebay or stitch the strapping when you get them. You can't have mine.
