After busting my arse on Aspens icy streets, I got smart and carry these with me. The amount of grip they afford, the ease of use, and the safety are simply beyond compare. You dont need dedicated stud shoes. - just strap these, in two motions, onto existing shoes (insert toe, pull up on rear tab), and youre all set with whatever shoes you have. You can even use with smooth leather and not damage it, so if youre out with dress shoes, you need not injure yourself. Storage is easy and via the included, very nicely constructed and durable, pouch. Absolutely BOMB.

Hiked a couple Adirondack High Peaks on May 2. The tops were all ice, but there was no issue at all walking up or down when I had these on. These will forever be a staple in my hiking bag. Works great in mud, but the way they stuck in the ice has blown me away.

For years my wife and I used the Yaktrax XTR Extreme to walk up and down a very steep and icy bluff every day. Sometimes they flip up off your heal and you have to test each step to make sure they are going to grab before putting all your weight on your foot. The Kahtoola MICROspikes cost more but are worth it. They grip better and give a you more confidence in each step. I feel like there is less chance of getting injured using the Kahtoola MICROspikes and will only buy those from now on.

One of the best companies to deal with...honest, dependable, great product!!!

Awesome for ice fishing or moderate hiking on ice. Probably overkill for walking on the street. They run maybe a little smaller than expected; I wear size 12 boots and bought large. They were too small, but I bought XL next and they fit great.

I climbed up even the most vertical portions of Mount Monadnock, when it was sheer ice in early March, with no slippage at all. I felt like I had developed a superpower--cant recommend these highly enough!

Easy to attach and take off. Great traction on gravel, loose earth or ice, all of which we deal with in the PNW!

Excellent product. I have worn these micro spikes on several winter hikes. Great job on the ice. Easy to put on and take off. I would highly recommend this product.

Easy to put on and they make me feel very secure walking on snow and ice. Glad I followed a recommendation and bought those.

Easy to secure to footwear and not very heavy to carry. Kahtoola hit a home run with these! Used product at Mt Baldy, CA Jerrell Stark
