Great so far, so lightweight!
This may be a bit premature as I've only used them for part of one 7-mile hike in the Indian Peaks Wilderness here in CO, but they seem great. If I experience any longterm durability issues, I will update this review. These are much lighter than my original pair of spikes which has lasted 10+ years. I wear a size 10 Zamberlan boot so I got a large and they fit great. Fairly easy to take on and off though I imagine that will get harder when it's super cold and my fingers are frozen. I felt no discomfort on the balls of my feet while wearing and they provide excellent traction on solid ice. Looking forward to getting more use out of them soon as the trails start to ice up more!
These Keep you Locked Onto the Ground!
These MicroSpikes worked great! Used them on about 6 miles of icy trail last week and didn't slip once. They come with a red baggie to store them in, and the plastic is durable and seems like it will last a while. They're flexible for storing in your pack, and slip on easily when you need them. The red on the front looks especially nice on gray shoes!
Comfortable and reliable
Wore these for 14 hours of a 16 hour day with gaiters and trail shoes. Very comfortable over long distance and in variable conditions.
