These are probably the 5th or 6th pair, because I keep buying them for my Friends! = No broken bones on my watch!

Mine came with a little bag to carry them in. Super easy to slip on and off. Kept me from slipping on the ice during our hike in Twin Falls this January.

These crampons make me feel confident about walking down my icy driveway or taking my dog for a walk on icy sidewalks. They slip on easily and stretch to fit several different styles of shoes from sneakers to hiking boots.

Living in Minnesota, when I walk our dogs I encounter more than my share of ice. I needed something that firmly grips the ice, but also works when I drive the dogs to the dog park and when I am walking on pavement. As such, I could not be more satisfied with my choice of the Uelfbaby Crampons Spikes Ice Snow Grips Traction Cleats System.First, the size chart is accurate. I bought a pair for myself and my wife and both fit our boots to perfection. After stretching them onto our boots, the cleats stay in place and do not shift. Walking uphill or downhill, I have yet to lose any traction.Nothing lasts forever, so I promptly ordered a second pair. However, I have a feeling that since these are so well made, I will have that second pair in reserve for years to come, or so I hope.

Wanted something lightweight, quick to put on and take off and didn't break the bank for a six day adventure race. Well these nailed all those requirements. Fit very securely to my boots with no detectible movement once on. Was a life saver on the snow and ice. The one issue to be aware of has more to due with weather conditions than the product. As the weather warms and hiking through snow the ice forms balls on the chains and spikes which is extremely uncomfortable and can damage the bottoms of your feet. If this starts occurring do not waste time breaking the ice off. Just take them off and go without.

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.

Edit: (((Amazon, why can’t we award half stars, for crying out loud!!)))I have worn these on about ten more icy and snowy hikes. These are essential kit and so cheap you can’t go wrong. I felt bad watching a couple people slide down an ice-covered rockfall the other day while I was safely planted in the same ice with these babies—be prepared.Original review:I have only worn these ice cleats on a couple snowy, icy hikes. They are replacing true Kahtoola Microspikes that are very dull that I had worn the last four winters in the Boulder Flatirons. Several years ago I also got about 3 seasons out of a knockoff pair, which I thought was great, so I had no trepidation trying this brand out. They did come with a bag and Velcro straps that I have not used.I first wore these ice cleats in wet, slushy snow with not much ice. They frequently packed up with snow, but I believe it just wasn’t a good day for any ice cleats. My XLs fit well on my 10.5 NorthFace winter boots (the kind with the rubber insulation around the forefoot). Large may have worked, as well, with some extra pulling.My next outing was on much more ice, and the cleats worked great! I wore them over 10.5 Gtx Saucony Excursion trail runners, and they fit pretty well. The Excursions’ toe is a little soft, so the ice cleats were not extremely comfortable by the end of my hike. I’ll wear trail runners with a burlier toe box next time. The 19 teeth per foot (only 12 on Microspikes) really dug into the smooth, melting ice going up and down the trail. I believe that the larger teeth on these (some larger, some smaller depending on where they are located) were bigger than Microspike teeth. The small metal bar at the toe served its purpose but does not work as well as the rubber configuration on true Microspikes. There was a little play on the bottom of my foot—chains not extremely tight on my trail runners. But there was no issue at all with performance, comfort, or my confidence on wet smooth ice. Of course these cost less than a third the price of the big name brand, so any small negatives are more than a fair trade. These ice cleats don’t seem to weigh much more than Microspikes. Although they are visibly bigger than the Kahtoolas, they fit in the Kahtoola bag. I probably could have gone with L, but these XLs have worked for my big boots, and I feel L would have pulled my softer trail runners out of shape. My beefier Addidas Terrex should be a good match for them, structurally.I’ll keep my eye on Kahtoola Microspike prices (they really can’t be beat, and I got my last pair for about $50; $75 is pretty steep), but I am in no hurry to trade up from these very very good ice cleats.

We've had a tough winter with people slipping on icy curbs but no more, I could run on ice literaly and I do. Easy to slip on construction boots or heavy shoe and to take off as well. Heavy steel and sturdy construction. Get through winter with confidence.

PERFORMANCE: I have put on about 15km [10 miles] in two totally different conditions. First was forest trail that had frozen bare ground, very compacted snow and clear shear ice on hilly terrain. Without a doubt, very solid traction, there was no hint of slippage even on 30deg ice. Second was mixed conditions, no ice but loose compacted snow and also zero compacted powder about 10in deep. In these conditions they don't prevent slipping but almost act like boat paddles a little. They help to move you along. Now, on hard pavement, they are not comfortable. I did not see any damage to the spikes but they not are meant for long miles on pavement. If you need slip and fall protection taking out the garbage or are an urban postman, these are not for you. Studded (vs spike) ones would be better for this. Once on soft pack they are quite comfortable.SIZING and FIT: These are my first set of traction products. This product in men's range from 7-9 (L) then 8.5-13 (XL). I wear a 9.5 (wide) hiking boot (Merrell), not one of these giant snow boots. I took a chance and ordered the smaller 7-9 size thinking, if they are good for a 9 'giant' boot, then my 9.5 smaller hikers will be nice and snug. I think I made the right decision. I have seen others on the trail where the chains are flopping around. So, if you are in a transition size, think about the type of boot too. If you wear a 10 or larger hike boot, get the XL. If you are putting these on high-heels, then think about under-sizing. If the XL will fit a 13 "snow" boot, they would be big on my smaller feet and shoe type.DURABILITY: as mentioned, I have walked some pavement, I do not see any damage to the spikes or any bending. Only one season thus far and 15km, cannot speak to multi-year use bur so far so good.Overall very happy.

Tested these today in Edmonton Winter weather on the trails in our River valley wilderness trails! They were awesome and I was able to put these to through it all ... steep hills (goat/single track trails) up and down no problems and great grip ... careful on roads not really meant for it but we’re solid. Easy to put on and off. Compared with Kathoulas these were more robust and way more teeth! Great value for price. Also ran up and down many wooden stairs no problem grip was great. Really put confidence in my Trail running here in subzero Celsius weather with snow on the ground. Teeth were aggressive and legitimate grip. Ran 8.13kms ... 1.5 hours in the snow and cold. Recommended it to the Edmonton Trail Runners for a great cost effective alternative to the market dominate kathoulas which only had better eye socket guards the rest these were much better in every category with side to side comparison which we did post run. You won’t regret it. Also came quickly! Recommendation to the company add eye socket reenforcements and carry pouch for when you have to pocket them on the Trail ... not going to carry the box when I take them off for road running.
