I live in Colorado, or COLDorado as we call it. Snow begins in late November or early December and doesn't clear until at least March or April. During those months we go between snowing and freezing every day so ice or snow are a constant. I can't just stay indoors for months on end, I have to feed my chickens, bunnies, and barn cats, and walk on slippery ice to get to and from my vehicle. At my age the last thing I need is to fall and break a hip or an arm.
So I bought these cleats for my snow boots. When they arrived I found no instructuins for putting them on, but it was easy to tell which end was the toe end, so I just slipped the toe of my boot in that area and while holding the boot between my knees I stretched the black rubber out over the back end of my boot. It stretched easy enough for my arthritic hands to handle it. And it fit very snug. They don't shift around at all.
The sizing chart showed this size to fit on size 9 women's boots, which is what I have, and they fit perfectly.
I will not be taking these on and off with each trip to the car, because that would be a messy job with the way I have to hold the boot to get them on. I just change out of my cleated boots when I get in my car. For my trips out to tend to my critters or for other outdoor activities I just put the cleated boots on at the door and take them off when I come inside.
They are comfortable, not unbalancing to walk on indoors or on non ice surfaces, although I wouldn't walk on my wood floors with them because the points on the cleats are quite sharp. I don't know that I would jog in them like was mentioned, but walking on ice feels quite secure.
Side note, there were two little straps that look like key fob holders that were included. I have no idea what they are for since there were no instructions included. If I were taking these on and off often, like at my car, I might wrap the straps around the back end of the rubber to assist in putting the cleats on without getting quite so dirty in doing so, but I have no idea if that is their intended purpose.
I give them 5 stars for their performance, fit, and easy of use. I deduct one star for zero instructions. Would I recommend them to friends? You bet! I am even buying a second set for my husband.
I needed something small to fit in my backpack while I hike around Washington State this winter. Our mountains get a ton of snow but also lots of rain so we will always come across icy patches on trails that are summit bound. These were perfect. They come in there own protective bag, are very easy to put on over your boot and easy to come off. So far so good and am happy with the purchase. I think I’ll be getting a couple more for my wife and teen.
Zoom in on the picture. The construction of the chain links, their thickness and finish, the size and depth of the pointed steel, all impressed me. Chains are attached to a very rubbery, stretchy, looks to me like silicone, heavy duty expanding upper ring, again very robust. I took a fall carrying my little dog on a sloped, icy, muddy hillside in my yard the previous winter, and was determined to not have that happen again, hence my purchase of these for off-road dog walking. I have used them just one time this winter to date. The ground had melted snow patches, frozen ice patches, and areas of grass showing through, all in +/- freezing temperatures, yielding that mixture of solid coverage. The spikes are a perfect match for this type of ground. I put them on my size 13 Wolverine Hikers, the XL was a snug but correct size to order for my boot. The seller enclosed straps, hook & loop style, to tighten the orange bands should they be loose on the shoe in use, but for me this was not necessary. My trip around the yard in conditions just described, going up and down hills gave me total confidence. I made the right decision. I am very happy with the fit and performance in icy, off-road conditions.
This is a very good quality pair of ice cleats. They will give you grip on any ice nature can throw at you. I gave them a 4 star as I think they are a bit snug to put on. I ordered a pair of XL for my size 13 pac boots. They do fit well, but I had to stretch them alittle more than I feel I should have.
I used this product to go hiking up to the snow. It easily went over my hiking boots and stayed on well. It performed good throughout the six hour hike and prevented me from slipping and sliding especially on the more hazardous areas of the trail. I could not have done this hike without these micro spikes.

The solid location of the toothed panels under the sole of foot and heel of foot provide positive and safe stability on ice and slick packed snow on trails, asphalt roads, and with caution on iced concrete. They are a bit difficult to pull on but with moderate strength and determination, they are on the boot and functional for the winter on the prairie, mountains, or residential areas. A good investment. Wear them, or fall and pay the price for injuries.
I wear a size 7 wide boot, and the Medium cleats fit perfectly. They require a bit of effort to stretch onto my boots, but that also means they fit tight and won't slop around. It is easier to get them on if your footwear is off your feet, and easier to take them off when you are wearing them. I used them for the first time after a freezing rain storm, and they performed very well in the frozen slush. I have DueNorth brand shoe grips that have six small points, like tiny finishing nails, which work ok, but I wanted something more substantial. I believe these cleats will fit the bill. These also work great in glazed over snow, and I would imagine on mud/clay. Use great care when walking on any surface not designed for them, as they slide very easily and will damage the surface. Highly recommend.
The crampons were easy to get on and stayed secure for our entire 7 mile hike along a snow and ice covered trail. We passed a number of hikers using snowshoes - boots with these crampons were a much more efficient option. Traction is great, highly recommend.
These are awesome, SERIOUS hardware! Easy to put on my shoes, even without use of the left arm! Having had the 'cheaper' version of another brand which used the little 'pins' I was not a big fan, I realized why they sent extra pins! These cost a little more, less than double, but the $20 I spent is going to be cheap compared to the ER bill, radiology and initial orthopedic visit...plus many more ortho visits. Not to mention 6-8 weeks of pain and inconvenience.
I was able to walk out on very icy conditions today with ease and no concern of falling! I will never be without these in snow, ice or mud!
These slip-on cleats are a real beast! They are bigger, tougher, and deeper biting than the tiny spikes of most similar function products. Even better, they are attached with chains, not rubber bands, so won't fail after two trips tot he mailbox. Not exactly easy to get on your shoes - I tend to sit down, remove my shoes, and put the cleats on the shoes and then put on the shoes. Tough if you don't have a place to sit by the door. Once on, though they really work. Not a glitzy product, but really a help on icy walkways and driveways.
