Included Traction Systems

Gummy-X Grip Pad

Inspired by classic skate shoe traction with a soft rubber compound designed for versatile everyday grip and smooth surface adaptability.

Excellent for:

• General walking
• Ladder movement
• Smooth surfaces
• Everyday wear
• Jobsite transitions

Designed to balance traction, comfort, flexibility, and durability in a lightweight modular platform.

Roof Runner Pad

Purpose-built for shingles, composite roofing, felt, plywood, and common residential roof surfaces.

Features include:

• High-traction soft rubber compound
• Dust and granule channeling design
• Replaceable modular construction
• Improved durability over previous generations

Built specifically for roofing professionals who need adaptable traction across changing roof surfaces.

TRACTEX™ Modular Outsole System

Every Contra Raid™ features our TRACTEX™ interchangeable outsole platform.

As traction pads wear, simply replace the pads instead of replacing the entire shoe.

Benefits include:

• Adaptable traction for different surfaces
• Reduced downtime
• Longer overall system life
• Consistent traction performance
• Easy field replacement

Comfort Without the Bulk

Unlike heavy, rigid, single-purpose roofing boots, the Raid™ is built on a cushioned performance midsole designed to reduce fatigue while maintaining support and stability throughout the workday.

The athletic-inspired construction allows the Raid™ to transition naturally between rooftops, ladders, jobsites, vehicles, and everyday wear.

Fit

FIT: True to size, or if on the fence, half size down from standard shoe size for best fit.

Contra Return Policy

Intended Use

The Contra Raid™ is designed as a supportive and rugged high-top performance shoe intended for demanding professional use, including roofing, construction, ladder-intensive work, exterior trades, inspections, and general jobsite environments where additional ankle support, weather resistance, and adaptable traction are preferred.

The Raid™ may be used across a wide variety of professional trade and construction environments; however, users should understand that high-friction activities, repetitive kneeling, abrasive surfaces, dragging toes, prolonged contact with rough decking, concrete, and heavy construction wear can accelerate outsole pad wear and reduce overall product lifespan. Modular traction pads are designed to be replaceable as part of normal wear and maintenance.

⚠ Contra footwear and traction pads are not certified safety devices or PPE and are not guaranteed to prevent slips, trips, or falls. Always assess environmental and jobsite conditions and use proper fall protection, harnesses, and required safety equipment when working at height or in hazardous environments.

Legal Disclaimer

⚠ Contra traction pads and footwear are not certified safety devices and should never be used as substitutes for required fall protection or other safety equipment. Always follow OSHA regulations and use proper harnesses, ropes, and protective gear when working at heights. While Contra products are designed to enhance traction, they do not guarantee slip prevention or eliminate fall risks. Users assume all responsibility for proper use, inspection, and application.
