Pros & Cons
Pros
Took these out for the first time today on a 4 km hike, lots of hills as well as icy and muddy conditions. These are meant for serious trail hikes or back woods exploring. They are ideal on icy or hard-packed snow trails.
These are the grippiest spikes i have come across. I like the higher psi per spike they really grind down into the snow crust. The only thing that may be slightly annoying is how loud they are walking with the crunch of the snow and ice.
They fit over our sorel boots with ease. Fitment chart is accurate. Fits very securely. They fit snuggly over my shoe with no extra movement.
These things just dig in. Highly recommended. Something to be aware of.
They are snug to get on but i feel that is good because they stay on. They come with velcro straps but i haven't needed to use them. The velcro strap is key!

Not good for use on roads unless there is good snow or ice cover as i think you would wear down the spikes

I’d give a five but did not enjoy having to get the pliers to disassemble and reassemble the front chains correctly
