> 24 hourUsed 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!

> 24 hourThe last pair I purchased a few years ago broke on the first hike so I knew I had to go a little bit pricier. These held up great on a snowy hike in NH and were easy to get on and off as I went.

> 24 hourRidiculously awesome. EVERY time I go for a hike in the winter, EVERY SINGLE person I pass on the mountain has the EXACT SAME set of Microspikes. Why bother with any other product? They all pale in comparison to these. Honestly - no joke - you cannot design a better pair to do the job these do. Thank you Kahtoola for finally perfecting function and design.

> 24 hourThese are fantastic. I took a group of folks up on a 6-day hike in the north Cascades (WA state) where we had to cross many snowfields in avalanche shoots. Most had MicroSpikes. They provided great stability and confidence, were easy to put on/off. I highly recommend them. We had a couple of other/cheaper traction devices, but they were not nearly as good and one came off unknowingly and was lost. These are a little more expensive, but well worth the investment.

> 24 hourI run on very rugged terrain and this pair of microspikes are not the quality that I purchased several years ago. The rubber is thin and weak and there was nothing to keep the toe from riding over the front of my shoe on steep declines. I was able to modify the toe with high tensile wire/crimps but for the $60 plus I spent for this pair, I expected more. I purchased Kahtoola for the brand name but likely would have been much better off spending a fraction of the cost for an off brand. My original pair is still in use but this pair and the pair I purchased last year are disposable after one 3 month running season.

> 24 hourI bought these after hiking with friends in the mountains outside of Santa Fe. They all raved about them. They were sent to Wrangell Alaska where I was to work for a couple of months and came in handy several times. They are great at walking on ice or slippery hard packed snow. I had to give them a four instead of a five because one came off my shoe once and I had to back track, only about a block luckily and find it. I would still buy these again if I needed to. They are easy to put on and take off and have great traction.

> 24 hourI have had these for about 3 years, and they are AWESOME. I live in Salt Lake City, and use these for winter hiking (more than I use my snowshoes). I feel more secure and stable hiking in these than I do in regular hiking boots on dry ground. You can hike up steep hills on a sheet of ice and with absolutely no slipping. They are also very easy to get on and off, and fit easily into a backpack. I will never use any other brand.
