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 went up Mount Si last weekend and hit ice/snow that had been through enough freeze/thaw cycles that it was difficult getting up, and outright dangerous getting down. When we got passed by 2 guys *running* down the mountain in these, I figured Ide give them a try. Wow! The fit well, are relatively easy to put on, and work like a charm. NOTE: there are two sizing charts, one for trail runners/smaller boots, and one for full sized boots. Make sure to know your size and what kind of footwear you intend to use these with.

> 3 dayThis is the only brand I will use/purchase for use in Alaska while hiking iced trails. I just hope they keep up with quality control and don’t allow new models to become less reliable and breakable on remote hikes.

> 3 dayI recently bought two different sized pairs of the microspikes, one XL set for my Northern Outfitters Mountain Pack Arctic Boots, and a smaller pair for my shoes. The XL set fits snug on the arctic boots with 100% chain/spike coverage across the bottom. Its a tough stretch around the boot initially, but once on, theyll solid. Since I like to do winter photography of the various coastlines in MI, I needed some sort of crampon to help keep me upright on the piers leading out to lighthouses and trails that that ice over. Anyone that has done winter photography of the MI lighthouses knows about the ice and how dangerous some spots are. I havent tried any other crampon/spike system before, but from the tough, icy spots Ive been to this season with the Microspikes thus far, Im a believer. Simple, durable, and no faults found yet. Id highly recommend them to anyone.

> 3 dayBought these for hiking but use them more frequently on my construction site in New England. Lots of ice and I will no longer fall or defer working b/c its too icy. Recommend!

> 3 dayIt took me a long time to shell out this kind of money. But they are worth it. I wore them hiking in the woods yesterday and there was plenty of ice. I would not have been able to go without them.
