A Global Issue Worth Attention
It happens in less than a second with one wrong step.
Every winter, about 5 Million people slip & fall on ice worldwide.
If you're lucky, you'll get away with wet clothes or a broken phone, but for others it can be much worse.
Every single preventive measure is important.
Don't underestimate the risk!
A Painful Bill
For the less lucky, it can end up with months of rehabilitation, complications and reduced mobility for years.
Related costs go beyond €10 Billion a year globally, and include, for example, the following:
- Medical treatment
- Loss of income
- Absence at work
- Responsibility lawsuits
It can happen to you and your loved ones.
Fashion or Safety?
Over 70% of people we have talked to choose fashion at risk of ending up being severly injured.
We asked them why they don't use any of the available anti-slip solutions:
"Ugly and inconvenient" was the most common answer.
We believe we can do better.
Because every layer makes a difference.

The Winter Grip Reinvented
Designed to be discreet and convenient, fitting the everyday city life perfectly.
Northern Grips combine the most advanced rubber formulation that contains millions of microscopic glass fibers, with an ultra-performant adhesive capable of withstanding the harshest winter conditions.
Keep your style, stay safe, add the grip!
A Material With Superpower
You won't believe it until you try it. It literally bites into the ice thanks to milions of microscopic glass fibers embedded into the special rubber compounds.
Thanks to an advanced manufacturing process, the fibers are integrated in the core of the rubber, not only at the surface, providing constant grip performance during the patch lifetime, even when the patches wear out.
The Perfect Combination
The Ice Grip rubber pads are not the only high-performance elements in our patches.
The Snow Grip base is made of a rubber compound specifically made for winter conditions. It won't harden in low temperature and will ensure great adherence on snowy grounds.
Combined with a carefully selected resistant adhesive, the product will stick to your soles even in harsh winter conditions.
One Size Fits All
The SmartFit design has been developed by studying hundreds of shoes in different sizes.
The main patch elements can be divided in sub-elements that can easily fit your shoes, providing efficient grip in key pressure areas while ensuring great walking comfort.
The Small model has its heel part specifically adjusted to also fit some small heels of women's shoes.
