    Sizing chart said I would need a size XS, which wouldn't go over my boot at all, So I returned it for size S. Do order the next size up. Hoping it will fit. Returning process was easy, very polite person helping me. the item looks well made though.

    I have used this product in extreme environments and it holds up very well. It is a bit heavy however, I have used heavier and adds to conditioning. They grip the heavy ice extremely well even on very steep grades while carrying a pack or just out walking. They are very durable and don't need to be taken off in between patches of ice.
  • Screws fall out on the trail

    These things are incredibly effective on icy surfaces until the screws start falling out, which they did for both my husband and myself during a recent long, icy three-day hike we went on in the Whites. I suspect they would work great for getting around town, but the rocky/icy trails blew out many of the screws and we found ourselves slipping all over the place. Going to be returning these for something more durable for our next winter hike...

    I've bought two pair of these - one for me and one for my better half. Purchased mine after I broke my leg shoveling snow off an icey concete walkway. Haven't had a slip since though I've honestly tried to get them to loose traction. Used them 6 or 8 times a year for a second year now and they've held up great. Don't wait for them to go on sale, however, as they don't. Previous elastic studded versions ripped out quickly and didn't stay on straight. These are a great improvement.

    Stabilicers are heavier and take more pack space, but definitely offer more traction than YakTrax. I've had mine for at least 5 years and pushed them pretty hard on hikes: cross-country, mixed rock, ice and snow conditions. I've seen comments about the screws falling out and have a suggestion that works very well for me. I had the same problem early on but then I removed all the screws and sqeezed a little Gorilla Glue into each hole, then replaced the screws. After 4 more seasons, I think I've only lost a couple of screws, and the package comes with replacements.
  • Cool
    I use stabilicers to walk my dog, and they work really well for other things I do.
  • Finally found them again!

    I bought a pair of these many years ago (15?) at an outdoor store that was going out of business. I used them so much during snow storms I have almost worn them out, and was worried I couldn't find them again. I am going to buy a pair for my wife, her car and a pair for my car too. I haven't been on a true hike with them, but when the snow and ice piles up on you when you are at work, slap these babies on your dress shoes or your snow boots and run like heck to the car. I'm also an avid fly fisher, and I am going to start using these instead of felt soled boots for mossy rocks. I am sure they will do the trick.

    Great for walking on slick trails in the autumn and winter. I have used mine for two icy winters in New Hampshire's White Mountains. They provide excellent traction on hard packed snow. The velcro straps are fantastic; these feel loose on my boots. Unfortunately, the spikes eventually start to tear out of the sole if you spend lots of time on steep, rocky trails. Once the original spikes start tearing out, any replacement spikes don't stay in very long. It's annoying to know I'm littering the trails with sharp screws.
