Icebug Alne NT

When you need more grip than usual in winter conditions, Icebug is a dependable choice. This shoe features Icebug’s top-of-the-range studless grip sole, NT = Nordic Traction. It won’t damage delicate flooring, doesn’t clatter and isn’t slippery on stone floors. An easy-care choice when you don’t need studded shoes.

Instead of traditional laces, the Alne NT uses the Boa lacing system. There’s nothing to tie and no loose lace ends flapping about. You adjust everything with the dial on the front of the shoe. Turn it to tighten, pull it up to loosen.

The Alne NT feels remarkably light on your feet and, compared with most winter shoes, quite sporty. A natural pick for winter walks and day hikes on cold, frosty days.

These shoes contain 11% bio-based material, and 28% of their material will be recyclable once they eventually reach the end of their life. The upper and lining fabrics are bluesign®-certified polyester made entirely from recycled PET plastic. The lining is solution-dyed, a method that saves water and reduces chemical use.

Take care on slippery days. Grip-sole shoes give you better traction than ordinary winter shoes, but they still have their limits.
