MICROspikes Traction System delivers durable grip for icy hikes and winter trails
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I throw these in my pack every winter. Whether I’m heading up a frozen trail or just navigating an icy parking lot, they’re clutch. Easy to pull on and off, great grip, and they stay in place way better than cheaper spikes I’ve used."
Snow-packed switchbacks, frozen riverbanks, icy parking lots—when winter turns slick, we stay upright with the Kahtoola MICROspikes Traction System. Designed for quick deployment and secure grip, this system transforms trail shoes or boots into ice-ready footwear with a few simple steps. Whether we're out hiking, fishing, walking the dog, or harvesting ice, MICROspikes provide the confident footing we need to move naturally through winter terrain.
Twelve stainless steel spikes per foot bite into hardpack and ice, while the durable elastomer harness stretches easily over most footwear without slipping. Updates like reinforced eyelets, an integrated toe bale, and a slimmed-down profile make this the most refined MICROspikes yet. And when the terrain shifts, they stow easily in the included tote sack until it’s time to grip up again.

The product provides excellent traction and stability on ice and snow, allowing safe navigation of icy trails and steep slopes. It is praised for its sturdy construction, comfort, and ease of use.

Stop Face Planting and Buy Them!
They work great! Stopped me from face planting more times than I cared to count. The only ice cleats that stay on winter boots and offer a significant hold on icey trails. Highly recommend

Great traction
These microspikes are fantastic. We've had a very icy winter and these stand up to dangerous conditions when most spikes fail. They are sturdy and comfortable.

Great for steep brushing terrain
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- Large
I had a cheap pair of Amazon microspikes that busted after a few intense hunts in rocky shale in Alaska, so I bought these in hopes of more strength. Been on a few hunts with these and they have great traction, just waiting to put these through the ringer! So far so good though

Serious Ice Cleats
Looking forward to using them this 2024-2025 season. I walk daily 3-4 miles on a dirt road that accumulates ice coverage in winter months. The spike depth (3/8”) are large and should be strong enough to prevent slipping on icy surfaces.

Kahtoola Microspikes
I own one pair of these already and find them to be excellent for light to moderate hiking. If you're climbing in the Presidentials of the White Mountains in winter, you might want even more aggressive spikes. A very well made product, produced here in Maine. I use them regularly while harvesting ice commercially from Squam Lake, NH.
