# Cleat-Clipped Shoe Grips The Nordic Grip Mini Temporarily Adds Cleats to the Bottom of Shoes By Jen Chae | Published 2013-07-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-grip-mini References: [unikia](http://unikia.com/nordic-grip-mini.html) & [unikia](http://unikia.com/all-products.html) The Nordic Grip Mini shoe grips are designed for those who want optimal comfort and safety when going for a walk in the woods. These elastic band-like products conveniently slip over the front part of your shoes. Two cleat-like materials are studded on each band, providing extra grip when you're walking. This product was developed after thorough research and development efforts -- it keeps many aspects in mind. The Nordic Grip Mini is fashionable, easily portable, light and extremely simple to use. The grips are also affordable; rather than purchasing separate shoes for heavy-duty situations, you can equip multiple pairs. The design comes in several vibrant colors. The stretchy material will endure up to -40 degrees. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Shoe Grip Accessories:** Opportunity to develop innovative accessories that add grip to shoes for increased safety and comfort. - **Multi-purpose Shoe Products:** Potential for creating versatile shoe products that can be used for different activities and environments. - **Fashionable Safety Gear:** Demand for stylish safety gear that combines fashion and functionality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create innovative gear for outdoor enthusiasts to enhance their experience. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity to develop fashionable accessories that provide practical benefits. - **Athletic Footwear:** Potential to incorporate grip-enhancing features into athletic shoes to enhance performance and prevent injuries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carabiner-Equipped Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-swany-x-timberland-boots.md) - [Quick-Lace Winter Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerios-nivalis-gtx.md) - [User-Friendly Cyclist Shoe Cleats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shimano-clmt001.md) - [Minimalist Rugged Hiking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-north-face-clyffe-suede-shoes.md) - [Comfortable Cycling Cleat Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleat-attachment.md) - [All-Weather Slip-Resistant Outsoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoes-for-crews-4season-grip-4sg.md) - [Modular Winter-Ready Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-snowclog-advanced.md) - [Inclement Conditions Trail Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nnormal-kjerag-brut.md) - [Cold Weather Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-norvan-nivalis-shoe.md)
