Kickspike, Inc. makes a work boot with a patented retractable traction system. We sell it directly — to the operations that equip winter workforces, and to the workers themselves. No distributors in between.
Traction devices that work already exist. Every winter operation issues them. And every winter workers slip anyway — because the device is in a jacket pocket, in the truck, or worn through and never replaced.
We took the obvious conclusion seriously: if the traction isn't attached to the boot, it isn't attached to the worker. Everything about the GEN 3 follows from that.
Operations buy from us directly — no distributor markup, and no reseller between your safety team and the people who built the boot.
Individual workers buy from us too. That isn't a side channel; it's how the product proves itself. A driver who buys a pair and wears it through a season is the most credible evidence a safety lead will ever get.
Delivery drivers, utility crews, municipal workers, anyone whose route doesn't get cancelled because the sidewalk froze overnight. They already own the risk. We just moved the traction to where they can't leave it behind.
This is not a concept pitch. A pilot evaluates a finished product, not a development bet.
The retractable spike mechanism is patented and proprietary to Kickspike.
Built on an established supply chain, in production today.
