I hate them because with my awkward feet, they're not really comfy to wear if i have to do much walking. If this was a longer visit and i had my large suitcase i'd have much more room to bring extra stuff like that.
An alternative is a pair of "YakTracks" which are coiled spring like things you attach to the bottoms of your shoes and they are great to grip snow and ice with. Kind of like putting snow chains on your car tires. Much lighter to pack too. I think if the shoe repair place here has them, i'm going that route as a "just in case" alternative.
