The problem with el cheapo grippers is that won't cope very well when the going actually gets a bit tough. Unless you know that your walk-in is only a wee bit slippy all the way, they probably won't be good enough.
Whereas Kahtoola Microspikes will cope with a great deal more. True, they're not particularly light or cheap by comparison, but they are bloomin' marvellous on ice and compacted snow.
