UelfbabyCrampons Upgraded 19 Spikes Ice Snow Grips Traction Cleats System Safe Protect for Walking, Jogging, or Hiking on Snow and Ice (Fit S/M/L/XL/XXL Shoes/Boots)

These have served me well, and I am buying a second pair. But for me they ball snow and leaves really quickly, I think it is the high number of teeth. But they are just great on the ice and packed snow, and have saved my neck many times!These are not really for rocky terrain, they are a liter version, but very good quality. They are appropriate for thick ice, and hard icy snow.Take them off on the asphalt road, or when traversing longer stretches of bare rock, to avoid grinding them down.WARNING: These fell apart after ~150 miles and almost 2 years of occasional, but heavy and challenging rocky terrain winter use. Because they ball snow and ice so quick, I kick them against the rocks to clear them, which beats them up pretty bad. The areas I hike in are very rocky, and the rocks are impossible to avoid.So inspect them, and replace them when:1. the rubber tears,2. when the points start to blunt, the points on my started to blunt before the links broke.3. When the links start to get beat up and ground down, with lots of scoring. Or if they have broken. If you don't they will continue to fall apart and that can ruin your day! Carry 100, or 250lb para cord for expedient repair, and a tool (like a strong blade knife, or needle nose pliers) to pry out the broken links to clear the holes. I have done this, and the repair will last for >20 miles. High quality Needle Nose pliers can easily squeeze opened links back together too.These have heavy TPU rubber, in a classic proven MICROSPIKE design. I always have spares when winter hiking, and in extremely challenging terrain/conditions opt for FULL crampons with 25mm spikes. I like the orange color which can be helpful if they come off and you don't realize it. These Uelfbaby microspikes are a little tight, but the TPU rubber is thick, and they stay on and do not move around much. I have learned it is much better in the long run to have them tight. When the snow balls up, just stomp on a rock or dead log to clear them. If the TPU tears, just buy new ones.

Work very well for hike with crusted or ice covered snow. Fit nicely over Keene tarjhee size 10 for large size. Easy to put on. Haven't used below 15 degrees but stretches easily down to 15. Will not slip off with tight fit and Velcro strap. For price I highly recommend.

After over a year and two winters of use, I'm super pleased with these crampons. I've used them for winter hiking, walking the dog and shoveling the driveway. The traction is incredible and you can walk normally even on sheets of solid ice on hills.Just be careful not walk on finished floors while wearing them!

Used it for my snow leopard expedition in February in kibber national park - lots of snowExcellent gripExcellent material

I got 4 pairs of these. 2 xl and 2 xxl. They fit size 9-10 and size 11-13 Solomon hiking boots, and they were very tight. For what we were doing, something a little looser would have been better since they kind of squished the hiking boots quite a bit, but if you had solid leather boots they would be great. They come with an extra strap that none of us used.These were way better than no traction aids, and they worked very well. Didn't mind tracking over rocks with them since they are so cheap. Functionally they seemed about the same as the Katoolas that one person had. However they are definitely not as nice. A couple links were not closed properly, and we ended up beating them closed with a rock. One opened link caught on the persons gaiters causing ripped gaiters, ripped spikes, and a decently bad fall. I was able to beat the link closed again, but lesson learned. Inspect and fix these before use.Overall, these are pretty good. I'd definitely spring for Katoolas if I could, but these survived the trip and would work again.
