I bought these after having two experiences this winter, one on a hike on an icy trail in the Colombia River Gorge, and one trying to walk across my brothers frozen driveway. I had many recommendations for them from fellow hikers, so ordered a set using the sizing guide. When I received them I tried them on my hiking shoes. They went on easily and fit the shoes nice and securely, with no slackness. I have not had a chance to hit the trail, or an icy driveway yet, but judging by the spikes these should do just fine.

Gave these as a gift to brother in law who fell on icy sidewalk and damaged his shoulder last winter.

These are excellent devices to provide you with secure walking in icy conditions but are a bit heavy-duty for sidewalks and roadways. They provide an extra measure of safety on hard pack ice but are a bit cumbersome to tote to work or carry on public transportation. They also fit very snuggly but take a bit more time than some other more commuter-friendly options (e.g., stabilicers lite)to apply. But theyre a much better option than yak trax -- they wont fall apart on you when you really need them. Theyre probably best used for serious winter hiking.

I hesitated to spend the big bucks for these spikes, but glad I did. While working on a steep or slippery wooded slope, they hold the slope well allowing me to concentrate on my work and not my footing Theyre easy to get on and off and easy to carry (light weight).

These things are the real deal for serious ice traction. I think Im all set for a couple of years at least. And I didnt have to order one size too large. When I opened the box, I was thinking that these spikes wouldnt fit over my size 12 boots, but after a few minutes, I had them adjusted perfectly and they are the perfect size.

I purchased these to add some extra traction to my step while hiking, but found they work fantastic for just about everything. I dont even think about shoveling my driveway clear of snow without them now. Easy to slip on or off, comfortable and provide much needed traction on snow, ice, or loose ground. They seem to hold up very well, and show no signs of wear. It can be a bit tricky to walk over hard surfaces, such as pavement, stone, or tile, but just slip them off and be on your way.

Great on Icy Trails - or in town before the sand trucks have been around. Much more comfortable and effective than I expected.

Gets the job done! Great fit on size 11 (Mens) boots and shoes.

The original Kahtoola MICROspikes are the best. This is my fourth pair. Unfortunately, they made a minor change in the design and left off the wire at the forefoot. This allows the foot to slip forward between the chains. The resulting loss of tension results in them falling off.

I bought these after years of broken Yaktrax. No rubber parts on the bottom = way less chance of things going wrong. And these spikes are really hardy! I’ve walked a long stretch of my cement barn in them every day for the past few weeks, and they haven’t even thought about chipping. And I drive with them on. Love the traction they provide - especially since I hurt my knee recently. But I always feel steady on these spikes!
