Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction for Winter Trail Hiking & Ice Mountaineering

The Kahtoola are very good. Do not slide off my shoes like other slimmer brands. Good teeth to hold each step. Made it thru last winter. Looking forward to this winter.

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

I love this product, it is a perfect solution for walking around the block in the early spring. I walk all year round with my books in my MP3 player so this solution was very important for me. I wear size 8-8.5-9 in shoos and I ordered small size for this product and that was the right size (I am glad that I did not go any higher).

Bought these on the advice of another highly experienced hiker/backpacker and cant be more pleased. They offer more traction than other spikes and are extremely easy to put on and take off. Extremely satisfied!

If you hike in the winter around Colorado then these are a must have. Great on ice even when theres a lot of mud around. Easy to put on and easy to remove when they get packed with mud.

Great

These microspikes are very nice for hiking on easy winter icy trails. In fact, they hold very well to ice giving you an impression that you can hike any terrain. The problem is that elastic rubber chain holder is very flexible and can easily slip, especially on aggressive trail. We went hiking to a moderate 20-30 degree icy trail. When I slipped and fell, I found front microspikes on the side of my shoe, because elastic rubber slipped. It cost me broken knee cap. I wish there were some sort of warning on product description page with limitation of use. However, they are currently advertized as Any terrain, any age, any condition. I recommend only regular hard crampons for serious icy winter hikes. If you slip with these microspikes, the price could be very high.

so far, very good after one snow packed hike... nothing broke, stayed on my foot and I didnt slip Play to Live would be more accurate.

I AM A HUGE FAN OF THESE. I cannot say enough. I want to personally thank the company who makes this product. Let me get to the gist. I wear this product for almost all my hikes. Ice and snow is obvious, but these things work wonders on good old fashioned dirt. Walking up hills or switchbacks or walking back down for that matter have become a breeze. They are extremely durable. I also notice that they do well crossing wet river rock. The spikes have really held up. I also use these on rocky paths and they are good as new after I am done. In short, these MICROspikes are a must, and work on almost all terrain types, and I am very happy to own them. I am 6 foot and 215 pounds. I have worn them on about 10 hikes and counting and they still look brand new. Very high quality materials. They pack very small in a day pack, or you can hang them on the outside of your pack. Let me reiterate, you can wear these and excel on regular dirt trails. I have gotten many compliments on them when I wear them. Also when descending, I have found I no longer need my trekking poles. I use the trekking poles anyway, but my grip to the path is amazing. They are a luxury item but they give you tremendous flexibility in the type of hikes that you can do. They go on easy and come off easier. Just in case you are wondering. Here is a list of the top 5 must have items for most hikes. 1) Good pair of hiking boots. This is the most important piece of equipment you will buy, so choose carefully. 2) Back pack. There are a million to choose from but I personally use a Camelbak 3) Trekking Poles. Dont knock them until you try them. Once you go poles, you cant go back. 4) GPS tracking device - Many advantages to this 5) KAHTOOLA MICROSPIKES!! Happy Trails!

great for spring snow and ice, great fix
