Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction for Winter Trail Hiking & Ice Mountaineering

these microspikes are awesome. definitely helped with traction in steep country.

After trying YakTrax and other ice walkers, I was told to get Kahtoolas by another hiking friend. They are just the best. I went from being afraid to hike in certain conditions for fear of falling on ice to being less afraid of an icy trail than a wet one in the spring. I feel totally secure on ice. I had to order a new pair because the spikes get dull after two years or so... I know some hikers who sharpen them but I dont want to, nor do I know how. They are not cheap but neither is the aftermath of falling on ice! I will totally buy another pair when these wear out!

A must for the winter pack. You never know when you will need them. Great for those iced up trails. Goes on off easily.

Awesome.. A must have for icy hikes... The sizes on the website are different the product box, I bought a L and they seem fine for my size 12 hiking boot- I dont think I would want them any looser.

Great spikes, great traction, easy to use. As a Pennsylvania state forest officer I use them everyday, so I bought a pair for home.

These are the BEST! Ive had mine for over 10 years hiking and climbing peaks in the Catskill and ADK. If it saves you from slipping and breaking something, They are MORE than worth the price. I tell everyone about them and have bought pairs for my sons other family members and friends. Dont waste your money buying anything else! I should work for the company but I dont :)

These spikes work extremely well on ice and snow. Much better than cheaper coil type crampons. They are well built and should last quite awhile.

Compact and light. Surprisingly easy to pull on and off. Not sure how long the rubber will last, but so far, everything is good.

Great for hiking in the wet and steep trails in mud. Live in Hawaii. Ive had these for five years. Still holding up.

I tried these out immediately, though there wasnt a large amount of icy snow-packed trail to really test them well, what I did walk on was sufficient to prove they would be able to bite into the more difficult winter trail situation. They are easy to get on and off a hiking boot but stay put while on. It is money well spent if fall-winter and early spring hiking in snow-packed/icy conditions are your thing!
