Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction for Winter Trail Hiking & Ice Mountaineering

These are the best ever! They dont come off or break and make me sure footed on ice and in snow.

Solid and easy to use. A must have for winter hiking. My friend struggled on our hike - using a cheap badly made pair) these worked great!

I bought these for my husband the same day that I wore mine while walking in the woods with my husband and dog. I had walked the day before and my legs and back were sore from the tension created while trying to maintain my balance on icy trails. So I decided to buy some yaktrak but instead bought these (even though they are much more expensive) because all the local walkers wear them and swear by them. My husband decided not to buy them. HA! He fell and broke his water bottle and then had to hold on to me twice to keep from falling. So I checked out Amazon and the price was less expensive then the local store so I ordered them for him. I didnt want to get hurt from him holding on to me. :-) Pros: 1. the minute i walked in them... no it was my first step.... i felt more stable. you couldnt slip if you wanted to. (i tried on lumpy ice and thick smooth ice) i am 62 years old and when i fall i feel it all the way up into my brain.... it rattles me... and what if i break a hip! 2. no leg or backaches from tension 3. could walk uphill and downhill easily. 4. easy to put on. there is a tab that you can pull on. and the rubber doesnt slip. i lost a yaktrak in the snow once. these are not going to come off my feet. 5. spikes are positioned so when i bend my foot there is still traction in the front 6. the bag they provide is great... not sure how long it is going to last though. Cons: the only one i can think of is the price but really... my health and well being is worth it. My husband wore his yesterday. He loves them.

work in snow and ice and will not break, cant beat it. serious traction here

Excellent traction for hiking steep grades in snow and ice. Used for daily hikes for multiple seasons with no signs of wear. The only drawback is that occasionally when the snow is really sticky and fresh, large clumps of snow will quickly accumulate in the spikes and you have to kick a tree to get it off. But otherwise these are excellent.

Easy to slide on and off and they fit several different boots I have with ease. I feel safe hiking on snow and ice with these puppies on!

Definitely go for a smaller size. The right size according to the chart feels loose and comes off on slopes.

I bought a pair of Kahtoola Microspikes four years ago, for day-hiking in winter.They are just as good today as the day I bought them. They are durable and dependable. I hiked on ice covered trails just today, and could not have thought about hiking without them. Worth every penny.

I was a big fan of Yak Trax. I decided to try these when my Yaks finally broke. These are far, far grippier and far more rugged construction. They are more pricey as well, but worth every penny when you need or want to walk in icy conditions.

These cleats were pretty much what I expected, not as good as the old style but still pretty good. i used ice cleats every day in the winter and need reliability . These are about the best you can do for the money.
