like snow chains for your feet

By kyle_me Ranked #259 - Crampons February 13, 2010

These handle any moderate winter condition with ease:

up, down, sideways
rock
wet soil
ice
snow

The only problems I had were snow over ice in which the spikes couldnt quite reach to bite in. They seem to handle most of the lighter duty things that crampons normally would, but keep in mind MICROspikes dont have toe or heal cleats that project so inclines require a slight "flatfootness" to get a good grip.

On/off in seconds + dont slide around once on your foot.

If you are looking for moderate winter hiking traction, get these, its like hiking without the elements.
