Ice Cleats Sizing Guide

Action Traction ice cleats are sized to your shoe size, not a separate cleat measurement. Find your model below, match your everyday shoe or boot size, and you're set. Between sizes? Size up for an easier fit over bulkier winter boots.

How it works

Sizing in three quick notes

First, sizing is based on your U.S. shoe size — pick the cleat size whose range covers your shoe. Second, most models share one shoe-size scale, but the Walking cleats run on a wider S–XL scale and the Elite Hex is measured by length and width. Third, the Quick Cleats are one-size-fits-most — no size to pick.

Walking Ice Cleats (Slip-On)

AT-ICW

The Walking / Slip-On cleats use a wider four-size scale that runs smaller and larger than the other models — check your size here specifically.

S 3 – 6 4.5 – 7.5
M 5 – 8 6.5 – 9.5

Elite Hex Full-Foot Ice Cleats

AT-ICEH

The Elite Hex is sized by the actual length and width of the cleat (in inches) rather than shoe size. Measure the sole of the shoe or boot you'll wear them over and match the closest size.

Ice cleat size Length (in) Width (in)
S 11.19 4.24
M 12.47 4.84
L 13.66 5.29
XL 14 5.29

Quick Cleats

One size fits most

The Quick Cleats are one-size-fits-most — the stretch harness fits the full range of common adult shoe and boot sizes, so there's no size to choose. Just pull them on over whatever you're wearing.

Tips

Getting the right fit

Between two sizes, or planning to wear them over thick winter boots? Size up for an easier stretch and a more secure hold. The cleats should sit snugly under the forefoot and heel without sagging. For more on fit and use, see our FAQ or the buying guide.
