Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
They do the job. I bought them in order to make the Manitou Springs ascent in the snow and ice. They have not failed me yet. I see many hikers wearing the same model, so they are quite popular. I did notice a bit of surface rust on them after failing to rinse them after use. No biggie. I would recommend them.

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
I use these for walking my dogs all winter. I had used YakTraks but they wore out quickly and had very sharp edges as they wore out. These are much better in terms of effectiveness and durability. The only complaint is that for stainless steel they have shown rust after getting worn down a bit. My usage is suburban so I walk in a combination of sidewalks & streets that may be icy, snow covered or open in various places during our walks.

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
I live in NYC and walk about 30-50 miles a week. I bought these from Paragon and destroyed them within 6 days. I got the men's large and strapped them on sorel caribous.
What damages them is the concrete and the salt. The spikes were rusting within a couple of days. The rivets which join the strap to the treads were heavily abraded and rusting. Though, it's the chain links that join the rivets to the treads which failed first. The concrete is just too much for the links. I broke through a heal chain which caused the tread to flop around.
If the materials held up, then i would give them close to 5 stars. They just can't handle the mixed conditions of the city.

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
I bought these for my kid brother who walks to and from school and had fallen a couple times on the icy street. They were very hard for him to get on and off, so he got a second pair of shoes to swap out once he got to school. They served their purpose for less than 3 months. They started rusting within a month of having them and today they finally broke entirely. For the price, I would have expected them to last at least one full winter. He used them from about December 6th to February 21st. I think the next set will be a different brand.
- Was this a gift?:

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
Tested these out today after the big storm. Easy to put on over my running shoes. Great fit. No issues with them coming off and when running light enough that you barely knew they where there. In snow and street ice the traction was amazing. People were sort of looking at me funny running up street hills with not a slip. It was not an issue to run on bare surfaces... You could feel and hear them a bit but not a big deal. Great product for that die hard runner.

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
I didn't want to do my scheduled longer run on a treadmill, and we were getting a snow storm and sub zero temps. There was already quite a bit of snow on the ground so I bought these and they were amazing! Didn't lose traction once on all the ice. They easily slip on and off right over my trail runners.

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
Tried these out near Donner Pass where most of the snow had melted to icy stretches. They performed wonderfully and made hiking over the ice effortless. Very well worth the $$.
The only times they slipped were on granite, loose rock and the tile in my bathroom. (Nearly broke my neck before hitting the trail)
They will be on my short list of things-to-bring for spring and fall hiking from now on. Recommended!

Comments about Kako ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip Traction System:
This is one of the best things I ever bought myself. Using mostly for dog walking in a rural subdivision, on plowed paved roads, where the conditions can go from snow to ice to snow-covered ice to hard packed snow to clear asphalt in a few steps. You don't even know you are wearing them. I ordered a size larger for my hiking boots and they fit perfectly. I will always own these!
