Stabilicers Sportrunners Support

What kind of shoes can I use my STABILicers SPORTrunners with?

You can wear STABILicers SPORTrunners with athletic shoes, casual shoes, hiking boots or work boots. (Sorry, high heels and larger boots are out.)

How do I attach STABILicers SPORTrunners to my shoes?

STABILicers SPORTrunners have an Elastomer tension-fit binding system that will keep them snugly in place. Because STABILicers SPORTrunners stretch over a shoe or boot they take more effort to put on than the original STABILicers making them less desirable for anyone who has arthritis in their hands.

Will my STABILicers SPORrunners stretch out, making them not fit over time?

STABILicers SPORTrunners are made out of a special Elastomer compound that allows them to have a great memory and are designed to hold their shape. However, if left on a pair of shoes or crumpled up in a closet, they may change their shape slightly.

On what surfaces can I wear STABILicers SPORTrunners?

STABILicers SPORTrunners can be worn on most surfaces found outdoors. They are not intended for indoor use and can scratch floors and catch on carpeting. STABILicers SPORTrunners are also not designed to work on hard slick surfaces such as tile, polished stones or metals that are totally smooth.

Do STABILicers SPORTrunners provide traction on clear pavement or sidewalks?

Yes, STABILicers SPORTrunners grip pavement, rock, sidewalks, and most outdoor conditions.

How do I know what size to order?

Check out our Size Chart. Select your shoe size and find the corresponding STABILicers SPORTrunners size. If you are between two sizes, order the smaller size if you are buying them primarily for running shoes and the larger if you are getting them for boots. A close fit is all you need; it doesn't need to be exact.

How often do I need to replace the cleats?

It will depend on how often you wear STABILicers SPORTrunners and on what surfaces. If you use them only on ice and snow they will last indefinitely. If, however, you wear them on pavement, they will need to be checked for wear more frequently. Replace cleats when the surface area becomes smooth.

How do I replace the cleats?

The cleats can be changed very easily with a ¼” socket wrench or screwdriver. Replacement cleats are available in bags of 25, but only a few on each sole will need to be changed at once.

Can I just buy screws at the hardware store for replacement?

STABILicers SPORTrunners cleats are designed to fit into a threaded receptacle and are made from case-hardened steel to reduce wear. They have a specially designed shape that bites into ice.

How will temperature changes affect my STABILicers SPORTrunners?

STABILicers SPORTrunners are designed for winter use, so cold weather will not affect them. However, STABILicers SPORTrunners are not fond of high heat and should not be left in direct sunlight or in a stuffy car.

Should I pre-stretch my STABILicers SPORTrunners before I try them on for the first time?

Yes, pre-stretching your new STABILicers SPORTrunners will allow for an easier first time fit.

How should I store my STABILicers SPORTrunners over the summer?

Remove the cleats (recommended, but not required) and store them in a dry area. STABILicers SPORTrunners should not be stored in any high heat location (such as porches or in cars.)
