At iDAPT, we’ve developed an innovative solution to testing winter footwear for their slip resistance in different winter conditions. Our test is unique in the world – It has real people walking back and forth on a floor made entirely of ice. From our human-oriented test, we can get realistic and consistent slip results that are important to the general consumer. We are always updating our list of footwear tested, check back often to see if your footwear is on the list!

Our aim is to prevent slips and to keep you safe on the streets.

We thank the Ontario Ministry of Labour and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) for their support and funding of research projects contributing to the advancement of winter footwear technology to benefit the safety of outdoor workers and the public.
