They are wonderful for safe walking on icy surfaces.

My 13 year old son and my husband both wore these on a recent scout hike in the mountains. They worked great and got them up a frozen waterfall!

Bought the XL for my size 11 pack boots. Fit great and are much better than the cheaper versions I have bought before. Never made it more than a few outings before they would tear, break, or get lost. Bought the red ones, they are easier to see in the dark to put on. Suck it up and spend the extra money, youll be happy.

I went up Mount Si last weekend and hit ice/snow that had been through enough freeze/thaw cycles that it was difficult getting up, and outright dangerous getting down. When we got passed by 2 guys *running* down the mountain in these, I figured Ide give them a try. Wow! The fit well, are relatively easy to put on, and work like a charm. NOTE: there are two sizing charts, one for trail runners/smaller boots, and one for full sized boots. Make sure to know your size and what kind of footwear you intend to use these with.

The original and the best You cannot go wrong with these very durable well made easy to put on and off MICROspikes

Couldnt have done Hawksbill in Shanandoah without these

Ive been using these spikes for 8+ years now and wouldnt recommend any other brand. These are so easy to put on and give amazing traction on ice/hard snow covered trails. I will not go on a winter/spring hike without these. I have 2 complaints, the first is that the price has doubled since I bought my first pair (I blame economics) and the second is that Ive broken 2 of these already. I think the durability problem is more my fault because none of my friends have has problems. Its mostly likely from me kicking into hard snow instead of just walking on top of it. But as far as traction and ease of use goes, these are the best you can buy.

This is my second pair; one of the chains on my first pair pulled through the plastic making the set useless. The second pair claims there is reinforcement..... I only snow-hike once a year so it will be a couple years before I can comment.

love these things, i couldnt imagine hiking in the snow without them

Its easy to put on and great traction on ice.. You can run on clear sooth wet ice .. Highly recommended ..
