> 3 dayI tried many others and these hold up the best. Not cheap or cheaply made. You get what you pay for. One less fall makes them worth it all.

> 3 dayDid exactly what I hoped they would. I use these for hunting in Alaska. Easy on and off and theyve held up to two hard seasons so far. Kept me on my feet and made hiking safer and easier at the same time.

Greater than one weekI live in New Hampshire, on mountainous terrain. This year we have no snow- just constant ice. It has been very dangerous walking. I bought a pair of these and they are perfect. No slipping. They always grip, even walking up icy hills. I very highly recommend them!

> 3 dayI live in rural northern Vermont. I bought these to give me stability when I haul in wood in icy slick conditions and when snow blowing. They give me the solid surety of footing I need. They deliver! Im very pleased with these, not only for giving me that sure footing, but because theyre flexible and light weight.

> 3 dayso far, very good after one snow packed hike... nothing broke, stayed on my foot and I didnt slip Play to Live would be more accurate.

> 3 dayIm is Church Group of mostly older retired men (and some fit women!) doing Winter Hikes in Catskill Mountains. Some of us, myself included, have become members of Catskill 35, those who have done all peaks. I have found microspikes to work well in conditions where snowshoes or full-boot crampons are overkill. Microspikes work well in thin, light snow/ice conditions. and are easy to carry in backpack and applied as needed.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayAfter I slipped on ice while running a chainsaw and almost cut open my leg I knew I needed to find a way to keep my grip when theres ice on the ground. I looked at a bunch of products, but these ones stuck out to me and so I ordered them. When they arrived I was very impressed, theyre really well made. The rubber is good and thick so it shouldnt tear and the spikes dont bend if you walk over pavement, which is something I was worried might happen. Theyre very easy to get on and off, they have a bit of extra rubber on the back for you to grab easily even with winter gloves on, which is great since if I put them on inside I would tear up my deck just getting outside. These things give you such great grip, they dig into the ice but dont get stuck in it when you g9 to take a step. I feel like I could run across a hockey rink with these things and not slip once, theyre fantastic. That being said, if youre just looking for something to help you get to your car in the morning, then these are definitely overkill. However, if youre going to be hiking or working outside and everything is frozen then these things are definitely the way to go.
