Unigear Crampons for Hiking Boots,Traction Ice Cleats Snow Grips with 18 Spikes for Walking, Jogging, Climbing and Hiking

These crampons are spectacular on ice - a real life saver. I wear a size 9 / Eur 42 Muck boot and the XL size crampon is a perfect very tight snug fit. They take some effort to stretch across the boot toe and heal but wow they sure do stay in place - These big guys aren't going to fall off ever. Well made - very happy.

The top strap is your best friend. Get one size bigger than you think you need or you'll never get it on your boot. Amazing traction. Best for deeper snow and ice. Wearing them on a slushy parking lot puts pressure on weird and uncomfortable places on your feet.

I do a 2-mile brisk daily walk on a gravel road, in a part of the country that remains snow-covered for several months of the Winter. When you plow a gravel road, you don't scrape the snow all the way down to bare gravel -- you leave behind a packed-snow driving surface. With temperature changes and sun, icy spots form -- sometimes huge sheets of pure ice. With these spikes, I have never fallen or even slipped a little. The teeth don't bend, and they bite in confidently. I have used them on trails with patches of dirt (roots, rocks) mixed in with snow and ice, and they do great. They don't squirm on my shoes and feel very confident. The weak spot is the chain-links joining the spiked plates. I have had a couple links "open up" leaving the chains loose and jangly. I bent them back with pliers. They held for several more months but recently some of the horseshoe-shaped links have completely broken. I repaired them with wire but am getting tired of making the repairs. So I'm calling them done at this point. At 2 miles a day and about 6 total months of walking (last year plus this year so far) that gives approximately a 350-mile lifespan. In contrast, my partner has the "name brand" spikes which cost about 4 times (no kidding) as much. She's had them for years and they show no sign of giving out. The chain links are clearly more burly looking. They will probably last forever. This seems like a very fair price vs. durability compromise, so I'm overall happy with this product. It is great for just-in-case or occasional use, but I am replacing them with the "name brand" ones because I plan many more years of walking. I have the XL spikes and I use them on insulated Columbia snow boots (size 10) and uninsulated Muck boots, (size 9). The spikes install easily and don't slip once installed. The included nylon straps are awkward and seem unnecessary; I have never used them. If I try to use them on my regular shoes, the metal/chain portion is a bit larger than the sole so they don't fit as snugly -- but will work okay.

I've only worn these once so I can't comment on durability but overall I was happy with the performance of these micro spikes. However, I'd like to make these comments/observations: if you're looking for traction on ice and icy dry snow, these will work great. But if you're going to use them for hiking/walking in an area where there's been a wet, heavy snow and/or where there's debris on the trail such as leaves, you might want to leave these home (or at least in your backpack) and stick with just your hiking boots or a pair of studded traction devices. Wet snow and debris tend to clump or "snowball" in the spikes which could cause your ankle to roll. To keep the spikes cleared you have to walk in a scuffing/shuffling kind of way which is a tiring gait when hiking. I wore these today in just those conditions and ended up taking them off. That being said, I still think I'll get a lot of use out of them this winter. They have great traction and in light, dry snow or on a firmly packed icy trail I think they'll work just fine.

I live in a suburban area and do a lot of trail running, but have to connect to the trails on sidewalk and road. I purchased these to be able to continue to get some trail time in in spite of a fair amount of snow. I've now used these twice, but on a variety of terrain. I can say that they have decent grip in soft snow, well packed snow, slushy snow. The deepest areas I've used these on is about 4inches and they do very well. I've had a couple of small slides on the slushier stuff, but stop after a couple inches and haven't fallen. I've also had to cross over some bare sidewalk and streets and the metal spikes have not broken off (I'm about 140lb, not sure if they'd be as durable for a heavier person.) These are easy to put on with the back clearly labeled. The rubber uppers are thick, yet stretchy, and haven't come anywhere near breaking. The velcro strap across the top helps keep these secure. They also come with a carrying pouch. I've noticed a little bit of clumping of ice in the spikes, but it does not appear to have detracted from the grip. When you are done and remove them, just clap them together to get the debris off. I purchased these to wear with a US women's size 10.5 trail running shoe and the large fits perfectly.

I ordered these last January but never got a chance to wear them because it didn’t snow or do anything but this year we’ve gotten a lot of snow and ice and these things are phenomenal. I’m an older person and I walk my dog every day and I don’t wanna fall and these things give me so much confidence. I couldn’t slip if I tried they are a little slick on Like concrete where there’s no snow but when there’s something it can grip on like ice and snow no problem. They fit well they’re snug they don’t slip. I love them. Don’t wear inside. Would behave hard on floors.

モンベルの軽アイゼンと同じタイプで、容易に脱着できる。値段は1/3だが、1.5倍以上重いのが難点も値段を考えれば許容できる。使用は問題なく、モンベルにない固定ベルトも付いており、外れる心配はない。もちろん収納袋も付いており、あとは耐久性に期待(1回の使用のみだが問題無さそう)。

good product

低山の雪道ハイクで使用。装着しやすく、しっかりグリップして安心感あり。チェーンタイプなので歩きやすく、アイゼンほど重くないのも◎。

白馬村の大出公園と長野地獄谷野猿公苑で大活躍しました。 普段住んでいる地域ではあまり雪が降らないため、雪道専用の靴を持っておらず、いつも履いている靴のまま行きました。 白馬と地獄谷野猿公苑の道はとても滑りやすく、これがなかったら確実に転んでいたと思います。装着も簡単で、普段履いている靴にそのまま使えるのがとても助かりました。 防水靴は持っているけれど、雪道や凍った道専用の靴を持っていない方には特におすすめです。

渓流釣りの入渓、退渓時に使っています。 あまりハードな傾斜だとズレますが、普通の斜面なら問題無く使えます。
