Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction for Winter Trail Hiking & Ice Mountaineering

Work great hiking hills in the woods. Much more aggressive than the spiral type. May be too aggressive for sidewalks unless they have not been shoveled and have ice.

Ive used these micro spikes for two Winters now. They are by far the best that Ive used. Dont waste your money on buying the cheaper brands. Ive used the cheaper Brands and they just break or they come up over my boot. These micro spikes stay in place and do not ride up over a persons boot at all. I hike in the mountains almost daily and use them daily when we have snow or ice.

Great spikes, great traction, easy to use. As a Pennsylvania state forest officer I use them everyday, so I bought a pair for home.

Used these to recently on a hike in the Colorado Springs Foothills on compacted snow and ice - they were great! No slipping and sliding, even on steep inclines. They seem to be well made and built to last!

These are indispensable gear for climbing mountains in the winter. With these and snowshoes you can move around on just about anything youre likely to encounter in the White Mountains of NH (my stomping grounds). There are many other kinds of similar gear, but these are the standard around here because they work so well on packed snow and ice. I had these for a year before one of the back eyelets attaching the chain to the rubber upper tore off of the harness. Im annoyed that this is still a problem, but I think its inherent to this (otherwise excellent) design. It helps my attitude quite a bit that all it took was one email to their support and they instantly sent me a replacement. Excellent support!!

Good and sturdy, and they definitely latch into even the hardest of ice. I visited back home recently and happened to come during an ice storm, with several inches of thick ice present on the ground throughout my vacation. I was SO glad I thought ahead and brought my cleats along. It was my first time trying them and, by the feel of them, I couldve RUN on the ice had I wanted to. Of course that meant that whenever the family needed something from the car, e.g., groceries, I was the one who was volunteered to do it because I had my cleats! Argh, irony.

Ridiculously awesome. EVERY time I go for a hike in the winter, EVERY SINGLE person I pass on the mountain has the EXACT SAME set of Microspikes. Why bother with any other product? They all pale in comparison to these. Honestly - no joke - you cannot design a better pair to do the job these do. Thank you Kahtoola for finally perfecting function and design.

Like them much better than other similar products out there. Can run on ice and snow with them!

These are worth the price! If you enjoy hiking, even when there is snow and ice, these are a must. I hiked a few days after a snow and ice storm and I didnt slip once. I also work outside and these came in very handy working after that same ice and snow storm. Easy to put on and they stay in place. Sizes seem to me to be accurate as listed.

Great! Go on with ease but stay on tight. Used for climbing St Helens as there was still a lot of snow toward the top. Worked like a charm providing excellent traction. Comes with a wonderful carry bag to attach on the outside of my pack.
