MICROspikes Customer Feedback:



“The MICROspikes were very easy to put on. During any ascents or descents the MICROspikes were a GREAT help traction-wise. I was amazed at how much extra traction I was able to get under all conditions. It was a fun hike and I was very impressed with the performance of the MICROspikes. I cannot think of a single thing negative to comment on, except, it would be nice if they weighed a bit less. But I would not be willing to give up the performance I received today for any weight loss. Actually I did not notice the extra weight when the MICROspikes were on my boots.” - Old Ron
