Walking in New England winters can be treacherous. These micro spikes have given me the confidence to get out be much more active even n icy conditions.

I live in Denver and I keep these in my bag at all times. I love them! I used them all winter slipping them over my shoes as needed. Our parking lot at work turns into an ice rink during the winter. I literally was stuck on the sidewalk because I could not get through the parking lot to get into the building (thank goodness someone picked me up). I got these bad boys and now I crunch through that ice without any worry of slipping at all. I had put them on snow boots but now just put them on my running shoes. The spikes grab instantly and completely allowing you to walk on ice like it was not even there. The price is worth every penny as these are very heavy duty. Easy to slip on and off shoes as well.

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.

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

I have bought a few of these previously (different brands) for my husband to use snow blowing our long, hilly driveway. Those others have just fallen apart or they dont stay in place and feel like they are rolling under his feet. But, with THESE he has no complaints. He feels stable and safe walking up and down the icy driveway. Finally found the right ones!

The spikes were excellent in the beginning but after one month of daily use (my husband is not heavy, normal weight) the spike points were worn down and my husband had to fix several of the chains which broke off. I contacted the company almost a week ago and they have not responded to my inquiry. The winter was bad in the Chicago area and we had a lot of snow and ice which is why we purchased these spikes which were considerably more money. We expected these to last longer than one month.

I had never hiked in the winter before and saw someone using spikes so I asked a friend who hikes in winter what she recommended. Kahtoola microspikes was the only thing shell use. I am amazed at this product. Ice, snow, wet leaves, anything. No slip, no slide, great hikes! Ive had 5 knee surgeries on one of my knees and had been worried about slipping but not anymore! I managed to lose the nylon tote that came with them and I contacted the seller and they are sending me a new one free of charge! Great service, amazing product. I am looking forward to years of fabulous hikes with my dog all over, in all weather. Thank you!

These microspikes are the best! In my hikes through the Adirondack mountains, I couldnt think of better when it comes to sturdy traction. These are great all around spikes. Made for as much as a hike up our highest of the 46 to the simplicity of a stroll around town. Beware! These hold tight to ice, but choose the most slippery of ice before choosing a nice dry stone. Your grip on ice is many times better on ice than stone surfaces. You cant go wrong with kahtoola microspikes!

I live in a climate where ice in winter is the norm and for most conditions use strap-on Stabilicers (i.e. not the model that stretches over a shoe) with which I am well pleased. Sometimes, especially with very hard ice, more is needed and this winter I discovered Kahtoola Microspikes. They are terrific for hiking winter trails and frozen rivers and even for gentle slopes. After about 30 miles they look new. I like them so much I ordered a spare pair.

I cant speak to the durability of these yet since I have only used them on two occasions. but I can tell you that these work incredible on hard snow or ice! I have worn them twice on mixed conditions, including hard pack snow, snow on rocks, ice on rocks, and ice on the trail. Ive been wearing Kahtoolas for years and have literally worn through the chains on my first pair more than once. I think they say you should replace them if you wear through one, but I just bent the little broken link to create a new link out of it. I still use my original pair, so the only reason I bought these is because my son now joins me on these hikes and needed a pair.
