I believe the other point about these Cat Tracks and similar devices is not just to make walking easier and safer, but also, importantly, to prevent the heel and soles of your boots from wearing unevenly, which can then lead to problems in your boots fitting into your ski bindings properly.

Thank you for all the advice. Having looked at all sorts of devices and read the reviews, I have finally made an inexpensive purchase to try them out. Something that came out of reading the reviews, was the problem of grips falling off if you have small feet - which I have. So, for about £5 I have bought a pair of Blackspur Overshoe Snow and Ice Grippers size 2-6, which seem quite robust and fit tightly over my ski boots - without me even breaking into a sweat, let along breaking a nail!! They will be tested out in Lech in 4 weeks' time :lol:
