Description

The Kahtoola Traction System was developed by hand in a small family workspace called “The Shop” in 1999 and set the direction of our company to develop outdoor products that matter. The KTS was the result of founder and owner Danny Giovale wanting to improve safety for snowy alpine approaches based on his personal experience climbing, and desire to create a product that would get people where they want to go and add a new level of security and performance to lightweight flexible footwear. Kahtoola MICROSpikes HIKE, TREK AND EXPLORE Lighter and tougher, the new MICROspikes deliver unrivaled traction on icy winter trails. With stainless steel spikes and welded chains tough enough to handle any adventure, they are now designed with an integrated toe bale and reinforced eyelets, allowing for a 50% lower profile elastomer harness. DURABLE DESIGN: Each spike is made from heat- treated stainless steel making them durable and corrosion resistant. ADDED SECURITY: Integrated toe bail made from TPU material provides added security and prevents the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness. EXTRA TRACTION: Chain and link components are designed to move independently and prevent snow buildup, while ensuring reliable performance and additional traction. EASY REMOVAL: Raised heel tab allows for easy pull-back and removal. Read more PRODUCT FEATURES Spike Design Each of the 12 spikes are made from a durable and corrosion resistant stainless steel. Stainless Steel Chains Welded stainless steel chains ensure reliable performance, durability, and provide additional traction. Reinforced Eyelets Patented eyelet design prevents tearing at each connection point, allowing the elastomer band to be lighter and stronger. Elastomer Harness Elastomer bands have a low profile and are ergonomically shaped for a secure fit that remains stretchy in cold temperatures, down to -22°F (-30°C).

  • Beware - change in design
Color: Black Size: Large
I bought these to replace a pair of Kahtoola Microspikes that I love and used for five years. I ordered the same size but the new ones are way too large and made of an inferior material. I researched and found out the product manufacturor was changed from a South Korean manufacture to one in Thailand with a redesign that is flimsy and ill fitting. I found out there is a new company that sells a version of the original microspikes made by the original South Korean company that are even better than the originals. The company is Snowline and the product is called "ChainsenPro". Cheaper also! ... show more

Color: Black Size: Large
I've bought maybe a dozen of these spikes and use to recommend them. They tried to fix the issue of the crampon chain tearing out of the lug by reinforcing the islet. Now instead of a fix-able lug rip (carry zip ties to reattach to the harness, The Whole Harness Rips In Half! Makes the whole system useless. Tried getting them to live up to their warranty by sending for an RME and following up with phone calls but no response after 2+ month of trying.

  • Failed second time out
Color: Black Size: Medium
I'm updating this review because I did another 10 miles this Saturday. It was very icy and I dealt with these migrating quite a bit on foot, and they fell off my boot several times. I ordered a medium and wear a men's 9.5 so the sizing should be right. After inspecting my gear when I got home, I noticed that one of the links failed. If I only got a season out of them I could deal with that, but they have to hold up better than 20 miles before failing on me. ... show more

  • I like the idea of the spikes
Color: Red Size: Medium
I like the idea of the spikes. They have great traction on the hardpack. Unfortunately, putting them on for the 4th time I noticed that the rubber on one of them had split 3/4 of the way through. I am returning these ASAP.

  • Safety and Health: two good reasons to buy these.
Color: Black Size: Large
I bought these for my husband the same day that I wore mine while walking in the woods with my husband and dog. I had walked the day before and my legs and back were sore from the tension created while trying to maintain my balance on icy trails. So I decided to buy some yaktrak but instead bought these (even though they are much more expensive) because all the local walkers wear them and swear by them. My husband decided not to buy them. HA! He fell and broke his water bottle and then had to hold on to me twice to keep from falling. So I checked out Amazon and the price was less expensive then the local store so I ordered them for him. I didn't want to get hurt from him holding on to me. :-) Pros: 1. the minute i walked in them... no it was my first step.... i felt more stable. you couldn't slip if you wanted to. (i tried on lumpy ice and thick smooth ice) i am 62 years old and when i fall i feel it all the way up into my brain.... it rattles me... and what if i break a hip! 2. no leg or backaches from tension 3. could walk uphill and downhill easily. 4. easy to put on. there is a tab that you can pull on. and the rubber doesn't slip. i lost a yaktrak in the snow once. these are not going to come off my feet. 5. spikes are positioned so when i bend my foot there is still traction in the front 6. the bag they provide is great... not sure how long it is going to last though. Cons: the only one i can think of is the price but really... my health and well being is worth it. My husband wore his yesterday. He loves them. ... show more

  • Not the 2016/2017 model
Color: Black Size: Large
I fully expect these to fail at some point. I owned a pair of the older models, and they were solid. These were lost to me, so I needed to replace them. I've seen several of the newer microspikes fall apart on both the Appalachian and the Pacific Crest Trails. I was hoping to buy the older ones, but the newer, cheaply made model arrived. It even says on the box that they won the Backpacker magazines Editors choice award for 2018 — the sticker on the bottom of the box claims that are the 2015/2016 model. The chains on the newer microspikes are cheaply made, and after any serious use, they break. The rubber that wraps around your shoe is thinner and will snap if scrapped against a rock. Seriously Kahtoola, get your act together. This used to be the go-to product for a serious outdoor enthusiast. Now because they've made a name for themselves, the product quality has dropped immensely. I'll be looking for alternatives in the future. ... show more

  • Great product, but I don’t use it anymore
Color: Red Size: Medium
Very effective on wet and muddy terrain. Helps you to gain traction where no other shoes or boots can. Good design and seems well made. Have not used them on ice yet, though I have no doubt they do very well, I’ve used lesser spikes walking on glaciers. However, my friend somehow managed to snap the rubber in two places the first day on the trail! Crazy, right? Mine have held up fine, and I’ve never heard of it happening to anyone else so soon, so it must have been a defect. Comfort-wise I found them to be too constricting over the toes and it became painful to wear for a prolonged period of time. I was wearing Solomon trail runners. Also after a while, you really start to feel the metal on the soles of your feet. Green feet insoles should help with that. The HUGE problem with these is they are being sold to use for hiking and they absolutely tear up trails. Popular Hawaii trails are being seriously impacted. I wish people would use them more sparingly and responsibly. For that reason I’ve decided to stop using mine altogether. The product still deserves 4/5 for quality, functionality, and effectiveness. But I challenge you to hike as much and as far as you can, without them. ... show more
