Larger than the wire traction that runners use and not as large as crampons. They provide excellent traction on packed snow and ice. I use them in SAR and they provide the stability needed for icy conditions.

Pack these when you expect to be traversing ice (especially if youre ascending/descending a mountain). You wont be sorry. Super easy to use and they will almost certainly save you from a nasty fall. Ive been out in the White Mountains a dozen times with them and theyve served me well. I am beginning to see the spikes getting a little worn down though ...

Great for hiking. Easy to slip on and off.

Used these to recently on a hike in the Colorado Springs Foothills on compacted snow and ice - they were great! No slipping and sliding, even on steep inclines. They seem to be well made and built to last!

This order was for two extra pair of these cleats. These are absolutely the best cleats I have found. We live in Anchorage, Alaska and I use them to walk up a trail that starts at out back door and runs up a mountain for about 1-1/2 miles and has a vertical climb of about 750 feet. It is icy all winter and pretty dangerous without good traction. These cleats are the best.

My younger son ordered these for his winter hikes up in the Catskills and Adirondacks and said they work great. He sometimes likes to drag his brother along, so I got a pair for him and now they can both go hiking without fear of slipping and sliding on the icy trails!

Great item. Some have said they dont go far enough back on the heels. I guess it depends on your shoe size. I wear a 10.5 -11 . I ordered a large and they fit perfect. Spikes go to the back of the heel, as well as to the toe. They definitely wont be sliding off, and seem pretty solid. So far I am very happy with them. I will be using them in the Smokey mountains in a couple of weeks, I will post another review afterwards.

Great footwear traction and the best Ive ever owned. Highly recommended by neighbors, too, since we all have to deal with snowy, icy driveways and roads.

Best spikes ever for ice.

Bought these for my wife and she loves them for hiking on icy and snow packed trails.
