    Weight new, large, with pouch: 381g (13.4oz). Seems to fit decently on my size 44.5/10.5 hiking shoes (Merrell Moab Ventilators) and size 45/11 combat boots (Danner Fort Lewis), as the size chart said they should.

    These spikes are amazing, they are sturdy and you can really even climb on ice with them. A very durable product! I live them! Excellent on packed down snow and ice

    These were great last time we were in snow and ice country for my clumsy wifes shoes so she wouldnt fall on her butt and injure herself *again*.

    I bought these to replace a pair of Kahtoola Microspikes that I love and used for five years. I ordered the same size but the new ones are way too large and made of an inferior material. I researched and found out the product manufacturor was changed from a South Korean manufacture to one in Thailand with a redesign that is flimsy and ill fitting. I found out there is a new company that sells a version of the original microspikes made by the original South Korean company that are even better than the originals. The company is Snowline and the product is called ChainsenPro. Cheaper also!

    I was somewhat put off by the price on the day of purchase, but these well designed cleats happened to arrive during an unrelenting series of ice storms, during which they more than proved their worth. Easy to put on and take off, easy to transport, and far less likely to dislodge than other cleats I have tried, these immediately and forever have ended the series of humiliating pratfalls I had been taking on the way from my car to my back door, on thrice-a-day dog walks, and on at least two serious treks through terrible weather over very slick and unforgiving surfaces in the deep rural countryside. I am more than pleased.

    I had reservations about buying these. I assumed they would slide around on my boots and be more of a nuisance than a help. I was wrong. They go on easily and stay put. They work on ice as advertised. The only snag is that if you try to wear them indoors you will scratch up the floor badly, so taking them off in a mud room or porch is necessary. I leave them on the boots and just change shoes at the door, as I dont wear wet snow covered boots inside anyway.

    Functional but not as well made as the prior pair I had from years ago.

    extra teeth in rear seems to be a good idea. use the new style in ice n snow and the old style on slippery steep trails. seems to help snotty old knees.

    Ive bought maybe a dozen of these spikes and use to recommend them. They tried to fix the issue of the crampon chain tearing out of the lug by reinforcing the islet. Now instead of a fix-able lug rip (carry zip ties to reattach to the harness, The Whole Harness Rips In Half! Makes the whole system useless. Tried getting them to live up to their warranty by sending for an RME and following up with phone calls but no response after 2+ month of trying. A defective product with no customer service

    They are great. You will not slip on ice. With this winter having so much ice around it’s the only thing to prevent falling. Easy on and off.
