Size runs a little small. Constructed to last. Cleats are metal. Great traction in ice.

I'm an avid trail runner and run through all seasons. These EXOspikes make you have no excuse for not going out for a run in the icy/snowy conditions. The sizing chart makes it easy to pick out the size recommended. They are made of durable materials. They are easy to put on and off over your trail shoe or hiking boot. I do recommend putting them over a sturdier shoe though. It just makes for a more comfortable running experience. I wear mine whenever there may be some ice lurking under some freshly fallen snow. I then have no reservations about traversing such conditions. I have even run on a frozen lake and had no slipping issues. They also have a great Customer Service department. I did have a slight issue with a different pair of the Kahtoola MICROspikes. One of the rubber parts got a slight tear in it from only of few wears. I called their Customer Service, explained my issue, and they sent me a replacement spike at no cost to me! They are definitely worth the price and I highly suggest adding them to your winter running gear.

I needed these for shoveling my driveway cause it gets pretty icy. This product works perfect. Kept me Balance throughout shoveling. My driveway. Grip was good. I would highly recommend.

I am only using these spikes around my house, but I had significant ice build up this year which made walking on my driveway and out to my bird feeders an adventure to be sure. These are a life saver. They worked very well and I did not slide at all. I had to return for a bigger size as the smaller size would not go over the boots I wanted to use outside. I am thinking if you are close to the top range within the Exo Spike size, I would go to the next larger size, depending on the shoes/boots you wanted to use. I wanted to use them on boots with a lug sole which meant I needed a bit longer length to go over the sole. The right size is pretty easy to put on/take off. Stay safe!

Fantastic product. I wore them on my hike this week and felt very secure in them. I originally ordered the micro spikes but thought they were a bit overkill for my needs.

I have used the Microspikes for many years and they are my gold standard. I bought these for conditions where there are trail sections of ice and sections of dirt because they seemed less aggressive and more suitable for dirt/rock conditions. I have worn them four times.First and most importantly is the size problem. I wear a size 12 boot. The XL Microspikes fit great and easy to put on the regular hikers and heavier insulated winter boots. These Exospikes in XL only fit my size 12 boots after a big struggle in my living room sitting down. I left them on my boots for a few days to hopefully stretch them out a bit. This helped putting them on again. However, when trying to put them on during a hike, when they are cold and less stretchable, another struggle and I had to sit. So if you wear a boot greater than a 12, forget about getting these on. Come on Kahtoola, you need to made these in XXL. I keep them stored at home on the boots for continued stretching.Performance on ice was great. They dug in well and I had no slippage. I don't know how they compare to the Microspikes, which would still be my go to traction devices in severe steep icy trails without patches of dirt. They weight about one half as much as Microspikes.Durability I guess would be marginal given that the bottom is made out of a plastic type of material rather than stainless steel chain (Microspikes), particularly if they are worn a lot on dirt/rock sections. With these concerns, I would still recommend them for spotty ice/dirt conditions. Even if I only get one or two seasons use, it is still much cheaper than a broken wrist or hip. I don't recommend them if you wear a boot or shoe size greater than 12.

Best traction devices I've ever worn! I've gone through many traction devices over the years, but these are by far the most versatile I've ever used. They handle ice and snow of various depths. No need to use short spikes on icy roads and have to change to bigger spikes or coils for several inches of snow, or large spikes for deep snow and ice on rocky trails. They are also extremely durable and can handle beatings on various terrain.

Very pleased with these so far. Great on the ice and they are staying put on my boots despite trudging through deep snow.

Pros:-Good traction and stability. Excellent for Canadian cold winters.-Very durable, long-lasting.-Nearly unnoticeable when walking, after getting used to it.Cons:-May not fit every shoe size or type.-First time users might feel uneasy when in use.-Extremely rare occurances of gripping when on certain soft material surfaces.Full Review:I purchased these shoe exospikes for a slippery and icy Canadian winter in Alberta. They still work great to this day and will be used for the upcoming winter!Inside the package, there is the exospikes themselves, a manual, and instructions. The guide is easy to follow, and I had the spikes placed securely on my shoes within ten minutes.The day after I received them, there had been freezing rain, with -20C to -30C cold temperatures. When I looked outside, the entire sidewalk was covered in ice, and portions of the roads as well. Firmly fastening and tightening them, I headed for a walk to test how they held against the outdoor conditons.The first couple steps I took with them felt uneasy, but when I expected to slip on the ice, they gripped on and prevented me from suddenly sliding. Afterwards, they held up the whole 45 minute journey, and although for the first five minutes it was uncomfortable, I soon got used to them and carried on.When I returned home, they still retained their subtle, but durable spikes on the bottom, allowing me to go up the stairs towards my front door without any problems. Once I got inside, they were easy to take off, and I left them to dry.For most instances where I needed to go out afterwards, such as grocery shopping or taking walks, I almost always used these for a safe trip. Only when there was not as much ice, I did not wear these as when walking on softer floors, like in certain stores, the spikes would infrequently grip the threads and make it harder to walk around.Overall, these exospikes worked great, and held up to the extremely slippery conditions. They are very durable, lightweight, and will work well for other similar environments one may face. I am definitely using these for the upcoming winter here in Alberta, Canada, and I recommend these extensively for any person with similar outdoor conditions. I rate these 10/10!

These wrap nicely over the shoe so it won't come lose like some others. Sure it may take 20sec more to put it on. But i can actually rely on these

Fits onto my -40C boots perfectly and provides super grip on most conditions. Light and easy to strap on or take off.
