> 24 hourIn the small size, the spikes fit my 8.5 Columbia Buga Boots perfectly. The fit is so good on those boots you dont even realize the spikes are there. Now, on my Redhead ankle boots, which have a fairly soft sole, the set fits snugly still, but there are pressure points, one in particular at the ball of the foot at the great toe! I am much more aware of the spikes. So, the quality of the boot will determine your experience with the MicroSpikes; The spikes themselves are great! Spend the money! They are sturdy and have held up to frozen, icy rocks, gravel, and mud. The chains are like a dogs choke collar, not that cheap s-link crap. Saw too many reviews of $20-30 set of spikes made with that type of link where the links broke the first use. Highly recommend!

> 24 hourReally great product, especially for a New Hampshire winter activity. We have gotten over a foot of soft snow in the last week over 3 inches of sleet/ice. I bought this pair ( XL) for my husband for his ice fishing boots plus he has a smaller pair (L) for work boots, and I have my own 2 pair (L &M) for different size boots. I wear mine on the ice and in the woods and around the yard. Cant beat them. Easy on and off too. No slipping, no sliding and no falling is a great feeling. Seller delivered quick too.

> 24 hourI have owned the Kahtoola microspikes for a few years and have always loved them. They are easy to put on, light weight, and personally I love the jingle of the chains when you are not wearing them. The rubber is durable. I have never had a problem with these. I have bought them as gifts on several occasions and everyone seems to love them as well.

> 24 hourThese are just great. If you dont want to break a hip when you go ice fishing, put these on before you hit the ice.

> 24 hourI at first was hesitant of getting my self a pair due to the cost. Now having said that; It was the best thing that I ever bought my self despite of the cost! They kept me from falling many times like I always do on the snow and ice. I have 1/4 Mile long drive way that I salt by hand and, a Wood Furnace to load and, I havent fell once. I would highly recommend Kahtoola MICROspikes to every if you are the outdoors type or just need to walk across the yard.

> 24 hourWore them a bunch this winter. Dont break like the cheaper ones like yak tracks. Really good grip and even look cool.

> 24 hourA few years ago, my wife and I hiked down the Grand Canyon in the Spring. Much of the path near the rim was snowy, icy and slippery. It was very dangerous, and we should have turned around. Even though we foolishly continued, we did vow not to repeat our mistake in the future. When we returned to the Grand Canyon, we had Microspikes in our pack. When the path turned snowy and icy, we put them on and, hesitantly, advanced. It turned out that there was no need for hesitation - the Microspikes worked perfectly. They were secure over our hiking shoes and gave us very, very good traction on snow, on thick ice, and on thin black ice over rocks. We were delighted and have recommended them to friends and family ever since.

> 24 hourWish I had gotten some of these sooner. They made what would have been an impossible walk possible. Highly recommend! Easy to put on and take off, but they stayed on for a 2 hour walk/hike without slipping. Im a female and wear size 9 and the medium worked.

> 24 hourI am so happy with these! Because it’s hard for my fingers to get them on, I designated a certain pair of hiking books to leave them on and that worked great! You do want them to fit snug on your boot or shoe. It was so nice to walk in winter without fear of slipping on ice!
