Advice for trip to Harbin


wow thank you so much SK1968 & albertsim. the info helps me a lot!!
I have a boots that i bought in Winter Time last time, but there is now metal claw attached, can it be bought seperately in China?
I'm going next month! yahoo~ :)

As long as your boots can insulate your feet well, the metal claw thing is just optional unless you plan to run or jump on the ice :) Just make sure you take small steps and watch where you step, ordinary rubber soles should do a pretty decent job. Alternatively, they do sell strap-on metal claws but do note that they have their down sides too. These metal claws become very slippery...yes, slippery when you get indoor on hard tiled/cememt surface so you got to remember to remove/retract them....or else you will slip on an otherwise non-slippery floor :)
 

Listen to SK1968 as he is speaking from cold experience.
