There is only one
Microspikes are essential equipment when hiking in the mountains. I carry them 10ths per year. There is no better traction on the market.

The Best!
I’ve been wearing nothing but Kahtoolas since 2008, after returning from an icy hike in the Grand Canyon wearing a different brand, which required me to go down parts of the trail on my butt! Kahtoola was my third brand and I’ve never looked back, and I never will!!

I recommend this product
Aggressive Traction
Additional traction is necessary when running through the woods where the trails are melting and they are the only parts of the woods that have snow/ice. The spikes dig into the ice and give traction as if running on bare ground. When running on bare ground where ice has melted spikes dig into dirt again without notice you are wearing them.
