Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

They are durable and dependable. The only real downside is that i notice myself getting a wee bit over-confident with these fitted. Worth every penny.

The way that the spikes fit over boots or shoes is snug and holds very well. There were no issues when i went to put them on our big snow boots - they fit snuggly. Not to mention putting them on when needed and removing when not was ludicrously easy.

Microspikes are total game changers when on ice. They are terrific in light snow/ice, gravel, hard/medium pack dirt, and light rocks. I'm presently on crutches in the state of minnesota and i live on a farm where the snow and ice are very treacherous.... Read More

I am utterly impressed with the design ruggedness. Downhill is my weakness, and these make it simple and save my legs.

Trust me the price is worth it

Shipping

Well i submitted an email repair request and got a response extremely quickly i think within 12 hours

Packaging/appearance

For packed ice and snow the katoolah micro spikes are perfect

I often have them packed for “just in case

Competitiveness

I do not do professional ice climbing so i can’t compare these to those but want to make it clear these are the best i have ever found

Again i assume this brand will last longer but neither brands have given me any issues

I have these and a lower priced model i’ve used them moderately i don’t hike up mountains in winter and both brands have worke... Read More
