Crampons Ice Cleats Traction Snow Grips for Boots Shoes Women Men Anti Slip 19 Stainless Steel Spikes Safe Protect for Hiking Fishing Walking Climbing Mountaineering

I live in Northern Michigan and have used the mini cleat style ,which the cleats eventually fall off and also use the yak Trax style with the coiled wire which usually works pretty good. Anyways,we had a lot of snow and then it warned up ,melted and was followed up by rain and then refroze. My Yak Trax just slid on the ice below the snow and I wanted something more durable than the previous mini spike cleats ,so I decided to give these a try while snowblowing my driveway. These worked impressively well and definitely dug into the ice below the snow allowing me to not slip or slide at all. I have balance issues so even a slight slip can cause me issues such as my yaktrax in this scenario. These are made with a nice thick durable rubber with the spikes attached to a chain vs a rubber backing found on the mini spikes I would usually buy once or twice a year as the spikes would eventually detach. A prior review I read on these said they had mini spikes but that is not the case and I included pics with this review. As I said above,after a lot of snow followed by the melting and rain and refreezing,my long driveway and private road was literally a solid sheet of thick ice under new snow and these gave me excellent traction with no slipping at all. These exceeded my expectations in not only the grip but in the build quality. Heavy rubber and solid chains and spikes make me believe these are going to last me quite awhile. I would recommend putting these on your boots/footwear before you put them on your feet as they do need a little tug to get them on due to solid rubber compared to the cheaper and thinner mini spike ones. They also include straps to hold both sides of the crampons over the top of the foot to further secure them although I did not use those and they stayed on just fine. It also includes a storage bag to put them in which is appreciated as these are solid and beefy crampons,so it's nice to have them stored in a bag due to their size with the chains and larger spikes. They gave me a lot of confidence and I am definitely glad that I paid the few dollars more because these are definitely worth it. If you spend time outdoors on heavy snow and especially Ice,I would recommend these. A well deserved 5 stars in my opinion.

Easy to attach to boots. Easy to adjust for different footwear. Large can be used on size 10 hiking boots but also worked on size 7 winter boots. I felt very safe walking on my slanted driveway after an ice storm. The traction provided was awesome

Background info - I'm a Trail Maintainer on the Appalachian Trail in the mid-Atlantic region. So, I'm out on the Trail and hiking almost every other week throughout the entire year. In good and bad and crappy weather. I had a large blowdown tree across my section of the Trail that needed to be cleared. We had just gotten a decent snow fall (~10"), so I was reluctant to head out and clear the blowdown until the snow melted in a week or two. One of my co-maintainers suggested that I get a set of mini spikes to make it easier - and safer - to go out. I've never owned any mini spikes and was doubtful they would help, but went ahead and bought these to try them out. I had read a lot of the reviews, and saw that many of the negative reviews mentioned that the metal links allowed the spikes to separate when using them. I looked at what I received and noticed that some of the links had larger than normal openings to them. So, I took the advise on some of the reviews and used a pair of Channel Locks to crimp every link on each foot. Actual review - I went out the next day. The spikes were very easy to mount and felt tight and secure with no sense of looseness on my boots. I used the restraining straps, mainly because they were there. My trail section is a combination of steep, very rocky ups and downs, as well as nice gently graded mostly flat sections. I wasn't too worried about the flat sections, but the steep rocky areas were of major concern. I am extremely happy to say that the spikes were life-changing for me. I hiked about 7 hours and about 10 miles in sub-freezing temps that day and not once did I feel unsafe on the Trail. Not once did I slip or have questionable footing. It didn't even feel like I had anything on my feet except my regular boots. I've been out before in similar conditions in the past, and decided to be safe and turn back because of unsure footing. It was actually FUN to be out that day! Was my great experience JUST because of these SPECIFIC mini-spikes? I can't say because I don't have anything else to compare them to. Will they work as well on an icy trail and rocks and packed snow? Will the rubber harnesses hold up over time? I don't know, yet. All I can say is that these spikes worked perfectly for me in the conditions above. I felt safe and in control in conditions that in the past I would not have gone out in. I inspected the spikes after I got home, and didn't see where any of the links had separated or loosened at all. So, I feel that the time I took "tightening" the links was well spent. Time will tell if they continue to "wow" me, and how well they will hold up in my varying working conditions and environment. What I can say, though, is that they gave me a sense of safety in conditions where in the past I didn't have that. And that is a REALLY good thing as far as I'm concerned.

These are great cleats. My first pair broke - one of the chains broke - so I returned it for another. They are the best ones for heavy ice. Not for walking on pavement with patches of ice.

Fits pretty good. Provides good traction. I have hiked a couple of icy and snowy trails with these and they work perfect. Even did a 14er with it.

Very easy to put on. Once on they are very stable. They work perfectly on ice , traction is exceptional.

Stretched these over muck boot size 10 fit no problem and stay in place even while walking through deep snow. They grip the ice for sure footing and are comfortable. no problems with breaking either. I use the other brand on lighter shoes yuk track and have had some issues with those over the years. I recomend these for winter boots, they work great and so far (2 weeks) have held up great.

These are wonderful! Easy to use for the whole family! Use them for simple walks in town or hikes in the icy VT woods. A must have for any outdoorsy person.

Ich bin begeistert von dem Komfort, Qualität inkl. Zubehör - klare Kaufempfehlung

Faciles à mettre. Prend pas trop de place dans le sac à dos. Pas très lourdes. À voir sous le temps si elles sont toujours aussi efficaces.

Ich habe sie inzwischen bei 8 Touren im Winter benutzt und bin bisher völlig zufrieden. Passen perfekt bei meinen Schuhen mit Größe 44. Noch nie verrutscht und guter Halt auf Eis. Gummi bisher auch noch nicht ausgedehnt. Lassen sich super schnell anbringen und wieder abnehmen.

Bought two pairs of crampons for our recent Lofoten, Norway trip. This crampon is simply awesome; it has very good grip on snow and especially icy surfaces. My wife and I could move around confidently without fear of falling.

In no way do these spikes replace a 10/12 point crampon, but they do serve a purpose and they do it very well. I recently hiked the Tarmachan Ridge in full winter condition. Powdery snow with wind scarred ice sections. These spikes gave confidence under foot, very easy to put on and are a must to keep in your pack when it's possible you might encounter slippy conditions. Sometimes the conditions don't merrit a full crampon, this is where these spikes come into their own. Well made and great for the price.
