Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction for Winter Trail Hiking & Ice Mountaineering

I just took these out for the first time, gained about 4000 feet with some significantly steep sections and a good deal of snow and ice. It was great, it was even better traction than walking with trail runners without snow/ice. I cant wait to use them more, its very satisfying to trek with them on.

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.

Bought one pair for my DH and one for me. We have had the craziest ice and snow. I have a pair of the original traction with springs and was still skiddering on ice. These are not like those at all....I have no fear and have not slipped once. My DH came in after using his and said he was very impressed with the quality and he did not slip even once.

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.

Ordered these while I was deployed in Afghanistan during the winter and was awesome. Much better quality than what was being given while I was over there. Would recommend to fellow military personnel in the AOR during winter. I pass mine around to my friend as the deploy during winter months.

I love trail running and these make it possible for me to go all winter long. I have run on snowy and icy trails with these for the past 5 years. The spikes give incredible grip and I can run, really run, in slick and icy conditions. I LOVE my spikes. They are still in great shape. At the time I felt like they were expensive, but they are so worth it!

Did exactly what I hoped they would. I use these for hunting in Alaska. Easy on and off and theyve held up to two hard seasons so far. Kept me on my feet and made hiking safer and easier at the same time.

Work great. Couldnt be happier. I have used these several times this winter and they continue to impress me!

Ive used these only occasionally, approximately five times in two years, and have dried them and maintained them carefully, yet theyve started falling apart where the chain links connect to the spikes. Ive contacted the manufacturer as they are still under warranty, but in working with their customer service via email have found that Im better served fixing the flawed product on my own. I would look elsewhere next time I look for sub-crampon traction.

You can walk with confidence on ice or turf. Since they fit the bogs you also stay dry. Very secure on the boots. No chance that they will fall off.
