These are very good quality. The fit over your boot so they will not fall off.. Highly recommended. Do not buy the cheap ones they will break or fall off easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are great

Had previously bought a cheap pair of crampons that were clunky and the chair tore through the rubber so they went in the garbage. This pair are sleek, easy to walk on and have reinforced eyelets to prevent chains from tearing out of the rubber. I’ve been on a couple 5 k winter hikes and they were excellent at biting into the ice without being bulky. Super easy to walk in. Highly recommend.

They go on tight which is good and stay on not matter the direction of ice. If rubber straps stay good I will super happy with them. So far excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Best!
Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2021
Colour Name: RedSize: MediumVerified Purchase
I have used these microspikes while hiking on solid ice trails and slippery surfaces. They are amazing, and give an old woman instant confidence and stability. I have hiked on icy narrow trails on steep slopes and drop-offs with no problems. They are light weight and have no possibility of slipping off accidentally. I had the original pair for many years, and expect the same wear out of this pair. Only cons; they can pick up ice balls, but they knock off. They should be removed for long stretches of pavement, but they are easy to remove and put back on.

A bit hard to put on the first time but gets easy with practice. They stay on and provide awesome traction on ice and snow.
I would not buy the cheaper ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars These crampons are absolute beasts
Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2023
Colour Name: BlackSize: LargeVerified Purchase
They allow great traction in compact snow or ice. I run trails with these and they give me absolute confidence, even when running on icy rocks. They also seems to have a sturdy build (I've had them for 6 weeks and ran 100k+ in these, they show no sign of wear). Just one thing to note: these are big spikes, they are uncomfortable to run on pavement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last Forever

Colour Name: RedSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I bought these for my boyfriend but have had a pair for over ten years and they are still going strong. You could get a less expensive pair but these seriously last forever and you can sharpen them if they dull. I’ve never had issues with the chains or the rubber, and they work exactly how they’re supposed to. No slipping on trails anymore! The amount of times I have used them makes the price completely worth it, especially after reading the reviews of the knock offs.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2016
Colour Name: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase
Top class item, have used the earlier version for several years which also rate 5 stars.
Buying these from a company in America meant waiting 2 weeks for delivery which bore a German postmark but these were far cheaper than any other advertised site, came in the correct box with a Tote sack so well pleased with this purchase.
Used for fell walking in the Lake District when snow and ice are on the fells, no other item can match these, highly recommended.
