I just got some, and it's been a big shift. I can be almost entirely fearless power-walking on well-traveled, un-shoveled paths. The only places that have given me trouble are where I encounter (a) glassy-smooth ice that's (b) in the process of melting. I still slip a little bit there. And clean pavement, I guess, that's pretty uncomfy at least with my cheapo set of cleats (though not because of slipping).
