Trail Spikes Crampons Ice Grips for Hiking - Winter Shoes/Boots with 14 Stainless Steel Spikes, Anti-Slip Traction Cleats for Snow Ice Walking Climbing Mountaineering

I live in Alaska and every year I have to replace my cleats, but no more! These cleats are incredible, very durable. I bought two pairs for my wife and I and they are rugged and work very well. The links are solid, usually the links are the weak part. I walk on a mix of solid ice, snow and concrete and the spike have not bent or deformed, I was worried they would. I don't know when I'll need another pair but when I do I am buying another pair of these. The seller also contacted me via email shortly after the purchase however I couldn't comment because we did not have any ice where I live but now we've had plenty of snow and ice. Update: I have had these cleats for almost a year and a half. Unfortunately one of the links broke on the heel for whatever reason, maybe I stepped on the right rock. A simple email to Yatta Life and Terry is shipping me a replacement pair. Very quick communication and very helpful!! Happy New Year Yatta Life!

I have used these for about a dozen winter hikes so far in many different conditions (pure ice, hard pack snow and fresh powder) and the have worked great. As compared to some of the lighter duty spikes they offer way more traction (not even comparable if trying to climb slopes). They also are more Durable than some of the light duty spikes (more rubber with a higher coverage on the show) which makes them more challenging to get on but provides a more secure fit. Overall I would say if you are off roads/sidewalks these are a much better choice than other lower lighter duty spikes.

the product is made well. They run very small tho.

Definitely heavy duty but well worth it, easy to put on and take off, nice strap to keep them on. The sizing is spot on too. Unlike some other poorly made brands I won't name you get exactly what you're paying for winter gear that lasts and helps you stay on your feet. I primarily use them to get around town because I walk everywhere but they seem built well enough to handle a winter hike in the woods etc

Received the product but missing the velcro stragood quality looking product but missing the velcro straps

I have worn them on two hikes that required them because of the sheer ice on rocks, and they worked. I chose to purchase them because they are less expensive than the Kahtoola brand, and I think it's important to have a little competition between what seem to be the only two companies manufacturing high quality micro spikes. They also come with a convenient pouch so the spikes don't melt all over my other gear or punch a hole in my pack.

Fits pack boots, perfect.

First - they’re PINK, not black! Second- There is no Velcro strap. Third-the chains are a cheaper design than advertised. And fourth - the chains DO NOT have the double grommets to keep the chains from ripping out of the plastic as shown on the website!!! At first I thought that they’d made a mistake at the warehouse and shipped me the wrong item, so I requested a replacement order. Got the same junk a second time!! Both are going back! Not worth the $60+ they’re charging! Big rip off!!

When our Yatta Life Crampons arrived we immediately knew the correct choice had been made. The product is both well designed and manufactured. As photographers we spend a great deal of time outdoors, working in various environmental conditions. Keeping safe is at the top of our list. Anyone from Alberta knows how fast our weather can change. Our previous spikes cost almost as much, but never seemed to work properly. The grip was never consistent nor could we get them tight enough to our hiking boots. First thing we noticed was how easy they were to get on our boots. The one-piece rubber design grips the boots tight. No mess around with adjusting buckles, laces or straps. Yesterday we hit a trail hike in Crowsnest Pass to test our new gear. A short 2.1km trek around Star Creek Falls. The real test was going to be the elevation changes. The Yatta Life Crampons did amazing. Zero slipping or falling. Consistent traction throughout the hike, including pretty steep inclines. I can’t wait to get out again next week!! One last comment, the crampons come with a storage pouch (previous sets we purchased did not). It may not be a big deal to most people. Personally, I think going that extra step shows amazing attention to detail and customer satisfaction. Two big thumbs up to the Yatta Life Team.

I have 120+ km of hiking over white ice (snow that has melted and refrozen) and blue ice (water ice). Every step has been taken in total confidence - even on very steep ascents and descents. They're showing zero wear even though I crossed several sections of pavement. In my opinion the sizing runs a touch small. I am using an extra large over a 10 and 1/2 US hiking boot. My wife is using a large over a women's 9 and 1/2 hiking boot. I have used ice spikes from other manufacturers and they all failed early. These ones are robust and offer excellent traction. If I had a suggestion for the manufacturer it would be to add a size XXL for boots size 12 and above.

So maybe global warming is not happening but the weather where I live is completely ridiculous. We go from rain one day to 15 below the next. That leads to some brutal dog walking experiences. How many times I have almost broken my neck in the woods from sliding on the ice? I was at my wit's end until a friend told me about these more significant cleats. I have been buying those cheap Costco ones forever. If they are not popping off my boots, they are ripping or simply not even gripping. I put these on my large boots and holy moly, a surreal experience. I actually climbed a 45-degree ice ladden hill and did not even slide a millimeter. I am literally not exaggerating. The grip with these is indescribable. They have changed my dog walking experience beyond belief. The stainless steel also does not rust, so I can simply hang them to dry. If you are an outdoors person and have experienced the slip, you cannot live without these. You can keep them in their pouch and put in your pocket.

Les maillons des crampons se sont brisés après un mois d'utilisation. Ils ont été utilisés à tous les jours pendant un mois pour la marche et le jogging sur neige et glace. Bien que confortable et pratique pour leur utilisation, ils n'ont pas été assez robustes pour cette activité.

Used these for ONE DAY and they broke on size 11 insulated boot.
