This grippy, durable, slip-on traction system features stainless steel spikes connected to a flexible chain system with a tough stretchy shoe harness. The unique Microspike chain adjusts itself to grip nearly any surface from ice and packed snow to wet rocks, concrete, and scree. Extremely durable, Microspikes require no special buckles or straps.
Ideal for walking and running on icy or snow-covered tracks. Also far more comfortable than wearing crampons for walking into remote crags to go climbing where the ground is icy but flattish (eg Ben Nevis as far as the CIC Hut), even though you have crampons in your rucksack. This latest version has a four spike heel and reinforced chain attachment points.
1cm long spikes and dynamic stainless steel flex-chain with a tough elastomer shoe harness. Low-profile and ergonomically shaped, this elastomer harness is constructed from a durable TPE for a secure fit that remains stretchy in cold temperatures down to -30°C and securely attaches to running shoes, shoes, wellies, boots and ski boots.
As they are stretchy, sizing is approximate and if on the cusp of a size you may need to get the larger size if you want them to fit on boots as well as running shoes.
- Twelve heat-treated stainless steel spikes per foot are durable, corrosion resistant, and aggressively bite into icy terrain.
- Welded stainless steel chains offer added traction in snow while remaining flexible and highly packable.
- Chain and link components move independently and prevent snow buildup.
- Tough TPU inserts reinforce key stress points, allowing the elastomer harness to be lighter and stronger.
- An integrated toe bail provides added security and prevents the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness.
- Raised Heel Tab allows for easy pull-back and removal.
