Carol -

You might want to invest in a pair of these for the icy days:

I have a pair of these (the middle ones), and use them on a dedicated
pair of mocs like the ones shown in the middle.

I have a retarded Terrier mix that at seven years old, still has the
brain of a puppy, and can't be trusted to walk on our property (10
acres) when time to go outside without taking off in a straight line for
the road, and he runs like a gray hound. So, I'm forced to walk him on a
leash twice a day rain or shine. On the days where there is ice on the
ground surface, or we've had an "ice rain", I wear these.

I know they work as I've busted my butt a number of times prior to
buying them.
