Vargo Titanium Pocket Cleats Solo (2-Pack)

Of course these will work fine. They are an old design, just made in titanium. I have a number of pairs in steel. You can find them in the ice fishing section at the store. Where I live we get ice storms and I have worn them to get great traction when I would otherwise not be able to avoid falling.

Wouldn't these actually be painful on the arch as well ? Titanium can also be brittle, this positioning would put a great deal of inconsistent stress on them.

The Mt Everest Bar and Bistro in Poughkeepsie? Sure. Might get you banned though, those spikes would surely mark their parquet floor.
