Last year I saw a set of cleats that looked like the bottom sole of a shoe and had the cleats in it which reminded me of a pair of golf shoes. I can't remember who made them but I'm going to get a pair and try them. I always used the rubber pull on cleats but my problem is finding a pair big enough to fit over my size 14 pack boots.
Do they make them big enough to work with size 14 packs? I have a set of Schnee's.
, let me STRONGLY advise getting a pair that has grippers on the heels as well as under the front.
I love Yax Trax! I've had Arctic spurs, HT and a couple others, but am staying with Yax. What I like most is that they don't grip so hard that your feet stick to the ice. I get a much more natural walk with them and as a result I am less tired at the end of the day than I was when I used the more traditional style cleats.Regardless of what design you get, let me STRONGLY advise getting a pair that has grippers on the heels as well as under the front.
I never heard of Arctic Spurs, what do they look like? The ones I am talking about seemed to be pretty hard plastic / rubber but not so hard that they won't flex when you walk.
I used IceTrekkers Diamond grips last year and was very happy with them on. I especially like that you can walk fairly normal with them on.https://www.icetrekkers.com/
Needed a pair of cleats and bought the icetrekker chains, the Diamond and Spikes model weren't avaailable. Did okay if there was some light snow, but glare ice the "chains" wanted to slide a bit.Think I'll be picking up a pair of Kahtoola Micro Spikes the Backpacker Editors Choice Gold for 2012.
