Upgraded Version of Walk Traction Ice Cleat Spikes Crampons,True Stainless Steel Spikes and Durable Silicone,Boots for Hiking On Ice & Snow Ground,Mountian.

Update 2022: Just bought a second pair of these. Like them even more. Our steep, long driveway has been iced over for weeks. It's treacherous to get up and down. Even my car with studded tires can't make it up and down - despite gravel and sand we shoveled out. These cleats are clearly superior - they have metal teeth that, working with your weight, dig in very solidly to ice. I leave my cleats on my boots. That way I'm ready to go. Note: I find it's useful to pull up the heel tab before trekking - to make sure the chains are snug. ----- Excellent grip. You'll feel totally confident on snow and ice, and on steep inclines. Very comfortable/natural to wear. Very easy to get on and off -- unlike STABILicers. I'm thrilled with these. Very happy with the purchase. I actually look forward to putting them on and taking them off. (I disliked fussing with getting the STABILicers on and off.) I live in the woods in NH, at the bottom of a steep, long unpaved driveway. Was concerned these might not be appropriate for the driveway because the conditions on it vary widely -- which means often it has patches of sand, ice, snow, dirt. But they work perfectly. My gait is stable regardless of what I'm walking on. I feel way more confident in these than in the STABILicers I had. Wish I had tried these earlier -- I was under the misconception -- due to the impressive spikes -- that these were only for deep snow/ice. Had been using STABILicers - 1st pair (2014), the heel rubber strap broke. 2nd pair (2018) had a better design (double heel strap) but side strap broke, and they no longer shipped with nylon cross straps to keep them solidly on your foot. Often I'd "lose" one - it'd get stuck in the snow. I tried using 2 oversized pair -- belonging to a guy I know -- and didn't experience the rubber strap breaking but these would also occasionally get left behind in the snow too. (When wearing STABILicers you're often not aware when this happens, which can be dangerous. You can't "feel" it -- you discover it when your foot starts slipping.)

A solid product that works as advertised!

Very aggressive on ice. Nice to be able to service parts when needed.

These came quickly to central NY state. These are pretty savage. Don’t be wearing your boots in the house! Not really even in the barn. These are really for being outdoors. They fit my main hunting boots well and seem to be staying in place. I wish the Velcro strap was longer so I could attach it more toward my heel. So far these seem like good bang for the buck. They seem like they will hold up pretty well. We will see.

So happy I went with these and not the $80 rei version. I used these to hike the backcountry at Grand Canyon (new Hance trail to Grandview if anyone is familiar). Couldn’t recommend these enough. So easy to use, slipped right over my hiking boot, and I couldn’t feel them at all. Gave me the confidence I needed during some tricky scrabbles and steep hikes. Great value!!

I did a hike a slipped these on once I hit ice—and wow! No slipping! I did buy a pair of the Medium and Large. The Medium barely fit my minimalist, size 8.5 Women's boot. I would wear the large on my 8.5 more robust running shoes.

I had to come back and write a review for these! I bought them last winter and I loved them. As you can see I can now trial run during winter. A huge game changer! They didn’t break, rust or fail me. I did wonder if they would hold up during the spring when I was running on muddy snowmelt which is gravely with small rocks. No problems at all. I’m glad theres a carrying cloth pouch for them because when you’re done using them they are dirty, wet and sometimes muddy. I can put them in the pouch and then nothing in my backpack gets dirty. Then I bring them home, rinse them off, let them dry and they are ready for another outdoor adventure! I even bought a pair for my friend so that she could trail run with me. She loved them too. I call them “my claws” because they grip to any surface keeping me safe and upright. These opened up new possibilities that before I couldn’t even conceive were possible! I wish I had these years ago. p.s. ~ I’m going into winter 2023 with these, if they fail me, I’ll be back to let you know.

For icy weather or weed eating a steep slope, you need a pair of these. High quality rubber makes them really durable.
