I bought these for a trip to Mount Marcy in the Adirondack Mountains in mid-November, where we were expecting lots of ice on the mountain. We were not disappointed. About a 1/3 of the way through the ascent, we were starting to slip on the ice that was covering the majority of the trail, so we busted these bad boys out. From there on out, it was smooth sailing... traction was no longer even a thought in the back of our minds. These things really are remarkable, and I cant find a thing to complain about with them. If it ever snows here in Ohio again (like it always used to, in the winter), Im sure Ill get more use out of them on those dark cold mornings when I need to shovel the driveway, and Ill certainly be packing them for any future winter hikes! One note about sizing. If you look at their size chart, for hiking boots, Medium size is marked for mens 7-10.5 and Large size for mens 10.5-14 when sizing for hiking boots. I happen to wear a size 10.5. I ordered the Medium size first, hoping to fit them over my hiking boots (Treksta Assault Goretex), and when I received them, found them to only just barely reach around the back of my outsole. I thought this might be the case, and had allowed for enough time to order the Large to replace them (and I gave my Medium set to my friend (size 9 men) who would be joining me on the aforementioned trek). The Large fit much better around my hiking boot, which I would describe as a heavy trekking (but not insulated) boot. Just an fyi for anyone who may fall right between the sizing cracks. Hope this helps!

Recommended. Great quality. If you go on serious trails, you will see that at least one three people wearing similar traction footwear are actually wearing this brand and this model. This is for a reason: they work and they are reliable.

My first pair had more robust rubber and a metal crosspiece up front. As one other reviewer noted, the question is: will this change be as durable?

Husband delivers propane, he swears by these!!

My workplace was lazy about clearing the ice and snow we had last month. I had to walk on it one day before my MicroSpikes got here. The next day, I wore them and had no trouble on the icy parking lot and uphill ramp into the building.

Well worth the money.I climb up and down icy inclines like nothing. Wish I had bought these sooner. Meant for the trail only, the spikes are too large to walk on sidewalks.

They have great traction and the color makes it easy to find them.

As automotive technician. I only buy Snap-On tools for this reasons, I can depend on them and well-made, quality. With that said, this goes for Kahoola product as well !!

These are AMAZING! I want to continue hiking throughout the winter, but needed something to give me traction. These go over your boots easily, and they aren’t clunky or cumbersome. I thought they might be annoying but you don’t even know you’ve got them on. They give serious traction on icy and snowy hiking trails, and are truly phenomenal!

They work great, got a second pair for my wife. She also loves them.
