Id seen others wear these micro spikes while hiking steep and slippery trails so I finally bought myself a pair. Theyre great. Ive hiked up muddy inclines that I wouldnt even attempt without them. Theyre a permanent part of my hiking gear. Ive also used them on volcanic rocks and they grip just fine. A friend and I tested ours hiking from the Halona Blowhole up the side of Koko Crater and made a YouTube video. Search there for oahukamaaina Halona

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!

My absolute favorite winter traction gear. I took these backpacking in March to the Superior Hiking Trail and trekked around on sheer ice along river banks with ease. At some points these were complete life savers. On flat ground these let me run on sheet ice. I have killed numerous pairs of Yaktrax within a single season of hiking, but these proved flexible as ever even on subzero days.

These were a gift and I couldnt be more happy with how they work. Work well on frozen trail and ice - I felt more confident in walking. Worth every penny - size based on my hiking boot - medium womens

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.

I have more than 20 miles on a pair of MICROspikes and have had no problems. I have put them on and taken them off 30 or 40 times, and so far they show no sign of wear. There is no comparison to Yaktrax and they have at least as good a grip on ice or hard-packed snow as Stabilicers. My Stabilicers would lose screws after similar use. I like that MICROspikes fit easily into a pocket, unlike the bulky Stabilicers. A great product.

Grey grip, great quality and what else to say kahtoola is the best on the market !!! Great for hiking on a ice and snow.

Best I have yet tried. Great traction in snow, but most importantly, the underlying ice sheets that have caused two cases of cracked ribs.

I went out in the early spring with just my snow shoes and broke my ankle and leg. Black Ice! Quoth the Raven... Nevemore! These are going on my winter shoes and will be with me all next ice season! They are sturdy, well-fitted and strong. No more slip-sliding for me. They fit right onto the shoe and stay there!

Work great. I hike through the woods every day, and dont slip at all going up and down snow and icy hills, as well as on ice covered ponds. They go on easy and stay on. Spikes are rugged and so far have stayed sharp even though Ive walked across rocky areas.
