These work great and stay on, I like to walk every day and these keep me safe in icy weather.

Love these spikes! This is my second set in the past 18 months because I wore down the first set from extensive mountain climbing in the snow, ice, and rocks here in Colorado. I almost certainly could have had the first pair last significantly longer but a lot of my climbs involve scree and boulder hopping intermixed with ice so its sometimes too much of a bother to keep taking them off and putting them on again as the trail wraps through shady icy areas and then back over rocks. Wish they would include an extra link for a repair. If this is worrying you about durability, I should point out I climbed over 40 mountain peaks with this first set, and it included a lot of boulder hopping and scree, which is tough of spikes.Was told they run slightly small so I selected XLG for my first pair of spikes for my size 12 hiking boots. Fit was good but a hair looser than ideal, albeit very easy to put on and take off. Second round I bought LG and they also fit okay but it takes a lot more effort to put them on so next pair I'll go back to XLG. By the way, I bought some cheap, back-up, spikes on Amazon for 1/3 rd of the price of these and the difference in quality is startling. I don't dare use those in the mountains. in fact, I keep the knock-offs for shoveling my driveway when its icy and my Kahtoola spikes for when life and limb are at real risk.

Excellent quality. This pair were bought to replace an identical pair that I bought approx 20 years ago. The first pair were used frequently over the years. They were easy to fit and were life-savers.

Top class item, have used the earlier version for several years which also rate 5 stars.Buying these from a company in America meant waiting 2 weeks for delivery which bore a German postmark but these were far cheaper than any other advertised site, came in the correct box with a Tote sack so well pleased with this purchase.Used for fell walking in the Lake District when snow and ice are on the fells, no other item can match these, highly recommended.
