NANOspikes® Footwear Traction
Low-Profile Grip on Icy Roads
Urban Explorer
Slick roads, freezing temperatures, and fading daylight call for traction built to keep you moving confidently all winter long. Purpose-built for hard surfaces, NANOspikes® footwear traction is low-profile, yet tough enough to handle icy streets and sidewalks. With ten ultra-durable tungsten carbide spikes per foot and streamlined rivet connections, this ultralight traction delivers impressive grip without sacrificing comfort.

- Integrated Toe Bail - Secures footwear during descents and reduces pressure points at the toe.

Nano Spikes
Received my Nano Spikes just as our area was hit with two weeks of snow melt, rain and freezing temps - sheer ice everywhere. My Nano Spikes were TERRIFIC providing such solid footing that I never feared falling. In addition, the mini spikes are much more comfortable than the larger coil types of ice grips when wore for lengthy periods.

Great!
Not everyone in my neighborhood does a good job of shovelling their sidewalks, so when I walk the dog, I can go from clear and dry to nasty packed snow/ice very quickly. With a pooch eager to poop or chase a squirrel, that transition can be nasty. But not with my Nanospikes! They do a great job of giving me sure footing. Thank you!!

This is my second pair. They are perfect for winter walking on a backcountry road in Northern New Hampshire.
