If its really snowy and icy outside, these are ideal. They wouldnt be great for running, but they definitely prevented me from slipping even in the worst conditions. I love them!

I had Yaktrax and they were completly insufficient for my needs. These Microspikes are great. They hold my feet solidly in place while winter hiking and walking on frozen lakes. The monorail on the mountain trails does not even feel slippery anymmore.

these were a real game changer for my daughter and I, we had never used micro spikes before, now we never hike without them [at least in our packs]

These spikes work extremely well on ice and snow. Much better than cheaper coil type crampons. They are well built and should last quite awhile.

This product works great. In Minnesota we had freezing rain not long after I received these followed by 15 inches of snow and these worked incredibly well

These are fantastic. I took a group of folks up on a 6-day hike in the north Cascades (WA state) where we had to cross many snowfields in avalanche shoots. Most had MicroSpikes. They provided great stability and confidence, were easy to put on/off. I highly recommend them. We had a couple of other/cheaper traction devices, but they were not nearly as good and one came off unknowingly and was lost. These are a little more expensive, but well worth the investment.

Sizing was confusing- had to return as I ordered a size too small.

Great on solid ice Not much better on snow/slush These spikes area little smaller than Id like but does the job on ice. Id recommend buying the model with slightly longer spikes

They are fantastic and very easy to use. I just ordered 2 pairs for Christmas presents! They fit in my purse and are totally portable.

I hesitated to spend the big bucks for these spikes, but glad I did. While working on a steep or slippery wooded slope, they hold the slope well allowing me to concentrate on my work and not my footing Theyre easy to get on and off and easy to carry (light weight).
