Ice Cleats
Snow and ice are part of our daily lives in the Alaska Interior for many months during the year. Walking around campus can sometimes be challenging, but proper footwear can assist you to remain upright during our long winters.
UAF employees and students can come to our office location at 825 Alumni Drive, Fairbanks any time between 9 AM and 4 PM to pick up a complimentary pair of ice cleats.
Community campuses can request ice cleats through this office.

Caution should be taken when moving on any hard surfaces and they should not be worn on ladders or while driving. Ice cleat spikes are sharp and can pierce surfaces and skin.
