Those would work on ice too.
Hobnail boots, but I haven’t seen a pair of those in years.

I read an interesting novel recently called “The Abominable” that discsused a lot of this stuff in relation to climbing Everest in the late 1930s/early 1940s.

I won’t recommend the novel because the Abominable wasn’t a yeti, it was human behavior that I didn’t need to read about. I won’t spoil it more in case you decide to read it anyway. The fact that it wasn’t about Yeti was in the jacket flap.
