MICROspikes

Great! I've never felt so safe? Hiking on ice and icy snow. They gripped so well that I realized that I didn't need my poles. Just like hiking in late spring - though early fall. We usually don't have much icy conditions in Lower New Jersey but this year? Yep. Thanks for a great product.

Happy to have these!

These microspikes are wonderful. Just what we needed to move around outside in the recent ice storm. They run just a little smaller than we thought but we are using them on our muck boots. I think they will be much easier to install on our regular hiking boots. Traction is amazing with them!

Eben Ice Caves

Using the Microspikes to get to the Ice caves in the Rock River Canyon without slipping was key,it made for an enjoyable experience.

Game changer for winter hiking.

Used for the first time. Would not have attempted a hike on frozen snow/ice without them. These were easy to put on, fit great. We hardly knew we were wearing them other than not sliding our slipping on the snow.

Exactly what I wanted

Just looking for some help, when shoveling, and on a slightly uphill/downhill drive, these spikes were (and, of course, will be) that help. The title of my review says it all.

Simply the Best

This set was for my wife. I wear these for hunting, hiking, and dog walking on icy roads. Easy on, easy off, and great traction!

Very please

Great value. No delivery delays. I am a retired NFL player now 70, and do have physical issues from those days. Live on 60 aces in the mountains and stay very active with trail cams, hunting, hiking, fly fishing. Have a company called Players Choice Outdoors documenting these activities. Your product is spot on, and I will now be buying some for my brother and daughter. It is nice to see a company that advertises on line, and is who they say they are, and does what they say they will do. WELL DONE!

Micro spikes durability

The Micro spikes I purchased worked well; however, the links keep breaking.on the right shoe. I put in a claim a few days ago, and I haven't heard from Kahtoola yet. I am happy with the product when I can use them.

Service Service Service

As much quality that is put into a pair of Kahtoola's, sooner or later rubber will break/ breakdown. Conversing with Kat made getting my microspikes repaired easy. Kahtoola's are the best and their service is second to none Thank you

Kahtoola micro spikes

They work great on ice, but with snow on top of ice you still have to be cautious. They can't grip far enough down if the snow is deeper than the spikes.

Great traction device

Performance of the Microspikes is phenomenal. Used on some gnarly remote trails in GRCA. Once on my shoes, the Microspikes stayed firmly in place. They were comfortable & the grip was amazing on a variety of terrain: snow, mud, even short patches of rock. I never lost traction. Highly recommend!

MICRO spikes

I believe the MICRO spikes are most effective on ice in addition to being the easiest to put on and remove of many other brands I have tried. The elastic material is good quality and I can say this after having sets last years without stretching or breaking down.

microspikes, carry-on airport surprise, unresponsive, lack critical information

My use of your microspike product was prevented by their apprehension at airport security. There is no information provided by Kahtoola indicating apprehension is even a possibility. Withholding this important information is a serious breach of integrity and confidence. The lack of a response from Kahtoola in response to an acknowledged comment is remarkable. I have no idea if the product is satisfactory but the information provided, the responsiveness of the company, and general integrity of the information provided in this regard is lacking. With regard to the remaining questions on this 'review' they have no meaning but they are required to post anything.

MICROspikes

MICROspikes are a must for thick, ice covered parking lots and sidewalks. Anything less is not an option for traversing on this type of terrain.

These are the BEST!!!

I absolutely highly recommend 1 or 2 pair as I keep 1 pair in the SUV throughout the winter and 1 pair in my Daypack. I wouldn't navigate the New England winters without them. They work perfectly on both ice and crusty snow.

Microspikes

They were a real game changer. I was able to hike on snow and ice packed trails easily with them. Wish I had purchased them years ago. Would definitely recommend them.

Kahtoola Exospikes Footwear Traction

Kahtoola Exospikes Footwear Traction

Designed for running or hiking adventures on a variety of surfaces, EXOspikes™ are at home on ice and snow as well as on dry, rocky ground. Twelve ultra-durable tungsten carbide spikes underfoot provide an impressive amount of grip when you need it, and stand up to rocks and other abrasive trail features when you don’t. All in a very lightweight package that can be easily stowed away in a backpack.

Kahtoola Exospikes Footwear Traction

Run, Hike, Thrive
EXOspikes footwear traction sets a new standard for versatile winter traction that delivers true cross-terrain performance for trail runners and hikers. Designed to take a beating, EXOspikes introduces an industry-first TPU Traction Matrix that is more lightweight and abrasion resistant than steel, and enables users to take on a mix of terrain and conditions-including frozen mountain trails, icy roads, and everything in between. EXOspikes combine more than two decades of winter traction technology and experience, and embody the high performance, reliability, and safety outdoor enthusiasts expect from Kahtoola.

Features

Spike Design
Twelve integrated spikes per foot deliver three levels of traction. Tungsten carbide tips bite into ice and packed snow, aluminum steps grip uneven surfaces, and TPU lugs dig into loose terrain.

TPU Traction Matrix
An industry-first TPU Traction Matrix is extremely durable and more abrasion resistant than steel. The open design quickly sheds snow and adapts to a wide range of flexible footwear.

Reinforced Eyelets
Using a patented eyelet design, tough TPU inserts reinforce key stress points, allowing the elastomer harness to be lighter and stronger.

Integrated Toe Bail
Using the same technology and TPU as the reinforced eyelets, an integrated toe bail provides added security and prevents the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness.

Raised Heel Tab
Allows for easy pull-back and removal.

Elastomer Harness
A new TPE elastomer harness geometry optimizes fit and allows for easy entry. Low-profile and highly durable, it remains stretchy in cold temperatures, down to -22 Degree F (-30 Degree C)

Care Instructions:
Wash with lukewarm water and air-dry (do NOT dry with heat). Ensure the product is clean and dry before storage. Inspect before each use.
