  • Our take on the Icebug Pace3 BUGrip GTX M

    The Icebug Pace3 BUGrip GTX is a men's winter boot built for icy pavement and cold commutes. Its defining feature is the BUGrip outsole: 17 to 19 carbide-tipped steel studs that stay flexible in the rubber and grip ice while still rolling on bare concrete. A Gore-Tex membrane keeps slush out, and the fleece lining and Ortholite insole add warmth and cushioning. It is lighter and more athletic than a traditional pac boot, but it is not a deep-cold or deep-snow boot, and the studs wear down on hard pavement over seasons. Rivals like Salomon and Merrell offer similar winter boots without studs, so the Pace3's edge is traction on ice, not insulation or waterproofing beyond the membrane.

    Questions and answers

    Are the Icebug Pace3 BUGrip GTX good on ice?
    Yes. The BUGrip outsole uses carbide-tipped studs that bite into ice while the rubber stays flexible. It is the boot's main selling point over unstudded winter boots.
    Are they warm enough for winter?
    They suit cold commutes and light snow, but the fleece lining is not a deep-cold insulation layer. For long periods outside in severe cold, a heavier insulated boot is better.
    Can I wear them indoors?
    You can, but the studs are loud on hard floors and can scratch some surfaces. Many owners carry them or change shoes indoors.
    Do the studs wear out?
    They last several seasons for most walkers, but heavy pavement use wears them down. Icebug sells replacement studs for some models.
    How does the Pace3 compare with the Pace2?
    The Pace3 keeps the BUGrip studded outsole and Gore-Tex build with a lighter, more flexible upper and updated fit. It is an evolution rather than a redesign.
    What sizes and colors does it come in?
    It is a men's boot offered in black only, in a range of US men's sizes. Check the size chart, since winter boots are often worn with thicker socks.
    Where is the Icebug Pace3 BUGrip GTX M cheapest?
    At Scandinavian Outdoor, for $177.60, as of our latest check.
