The birth of the removable tire studs

tire studs In 1950, the Volunteer Army walked fast in the ice and snow. Of course, the secret behind this is the role of cleats. The 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army entered the DPRK to fight. The cold weather and rough terrain in the Korean mountains in winter had a serious impact on the Volunteer Army's operations.

The detachable "iron-footed horse" cleats were born. Two pairs of "iron horses" are a set. When in use, they are stuck on the Jiefang shoes or Ermian soles and bound with cloth belts, belts or hemp ropes. The friction on the ice and snow ground, and the "iron-footed horse" is also beneficial to the soldiers to strengthen the fixation when climbing in the mountains. On the front lines, the soldiers gave the "iron-footed horses" various names, including "foot sticks", "ice treads" and "cleats".

In the 1950s and 1980s,tire studs  more standard "iron horses" were still in production, with improvements in design. It was gradually retired after the 1990s with the use of more advanced anti-skid equipment. Nowadays, carbide cleats are popular on the market. Compared with cleats made of other materials, they have better grip and are more slip-resistant. The alloy anti-skid nails are easy to install, easy to disassemble, and user-friendly design.
