Review: The best thing invented for hiking since shoes!! - I AM A HUGE FAN OF THESE. I cannot say enough. I want to personally thank the company who makes this product. Let me get to the gist. I wear this product for almost all my hikes. Ice and snow is obvious, but these things work wonders on good old fashioned dirt. Walking up hills or switchbacks or walking back down for that matter have become a breeze. They are extremely durable. I also notice that they do well crossing wet river rock. The spikes have really held up. I also use these on rocky paths and they are good as new after I am done. In short, these MICROspikes are a must, and work on almost all terrain types, and I am very happy to own them. I am 6 foot and 215 pounds. I have worn them on about 10 hikes and counting and they still look brand new. Very high quality materials. They pack very small in a day pack, or you can hang them on the outside of your pack. Let me reiterate, you can wear these and excel on regular dirt trails. I have gotten many compliments on them when I wear them. Also when descending, I have found I no longer need my trekking poles. I use the trekking poles anyway, but my grip to the path is amazing. They are a luxury item but they give you tremendous flexibility in the type of hikes that you can do. They go on easy and come off easier. Just in case you are wondering. Here is a list of the top 5 must have items for most hikes. 1) Good pair of hiking boots. This is the most important piece of equipment you will buy, so choose carefully. 2) Back pack. There are a million to choose from but I personally use a Camelbak 3) Trekking Poles. Dont knock them until you try them. Once you go poles, you cant go back. 4) GPS tracking device - Many advantages to this 5) KAHTOOLA MICROSPIKES!! Happy Trails!
Review: Superb! Bought Again & Again! - I’ve now purchased three pair of these spikes, one for my wife and two for me. And, I’d buy them a fourth time without hesitation. We own 45 acres of forest in Central New York. Our conditions range from dry (drought) to damp to muddy to frosty/icy to (last winter) 22 feet of snow. We’re walking over and on downed tree trunks, branches, and various tree tops and slash - whether they’re wet and slippery or icy and slick. Sometimes just hiking to the work site is a challenge. Frozen ground or just an inch of snow over ice can be a challenge. When the snow is deep we use snowshoes. When the ground is summery-soft we use logging boots. But, for those many, many icy frozen ground days we depend on these spikes. Heck, I even wear these spikes while shoveling my driveway at home. They fit on the boot very solidly and tightly. This makes them a bit challenging to put on properly. I put my wife’s on for her because her hands aren’t strong enough to do it comfortably. For my big, size 11, steel-toe chainsaw boots I use size XL - a size bigger than recommended. They’re still tight out on. But, they’re on rock solid and the minor struggle is well worth it. They’re not going anywhere. These spikes (on your shoes or boots) become an integral part of your foot. They’re super dependable, always there when you’re clawing your way up an icy slope or steadying a log to walk on. These spikes are truly excellent. They’re so well made and the stainless steel resists any rusting even though I just leave them on a mat for the snow and ice to melt. These spikes don’t get babied, they shrug it all off with ease. Buy these again? I have. Recommend to friends? I do repeatedly. I depend on these spikes and they always perform exceptionally. Don’t hesitate.
