Great for serious traction with trail runners
I wore these for hundreds of miles hiking the PCT in 2023, mostly in the Sierra. They worked great for me, and I seemed to be a bit more stable than most of the other hikers that were using the slightly smaller and looser K10s, which were the most popular model I saw. I went up and down some 45 degree hard icy snowfields summitting Mt Whitney on the way. Are they worth the extra $50 over the K10s? Probably not if budget is tight, but I've been very happy with them.
