Is the feature of the metal studs being pushed inwards to allow the rubber to work on solid surfaces a unique feature of the Icebugs then? Or are other studded shoes similar in that respect?
Genuine curiosity, never having seen any of these. I can see the point of studs when orienteering, and I can see the potential for winter hill-walking but I wouldn't imagine wanting to complete a whole day's walk with studs constantly under my feet (never mind when I hit the pub at the end of the day!). If the Icebugs effectively 'retract' when not needed then that could be a good feature to appeal to a 'less extreme' user, shall we say. If not then, as you say Pete, they may just be another contender with the novelty of being from Sweden and yellow!
