With any luck I will be reviewing these next week. Just bought a pair at EMS in Bourne for $69

Great spikes! On my 3rd year with mine best ones I've ever used.

Awesome spikes, Have had mine for two years, Work great on ice and on winter hikes. Beats the competitor Yaktraks by a mile for only a little bit more $

I'd buy another pair if I lost mine. I'm pretty sure I'll never have to replace them because they broke.

They can't be bad if ultra light winter bikers swear by them when other people would be wearing crampons!

I got mine last Saturday and used them Sunday and Tuesday. Unreal, walk entirely like you're not on ice. Yup u can run a pass route on ice if you wanted to. You do need a solid sole to prevent them from pushing into the bottom of your foot which would lead to discomfort. I give them a 10. At around $60 they sound expensive but the quality is there. It's not much compared to getting a concussion (Got one last year falling on ice on my front walk) or breaking your arm.

You won't be dissappointed. Great spikes.

I had one of the rubber pieces break. Don't know how. Most likely I nicked it with one of the spikes from the other boot. Both Kahtoola and EMS said they would replace them. Kahtoola suggested EMS as they would be quicker. EMS service was great. Service lady called the Marlborough Store had the last set put aside with my name on it. Picked them up with no questions asked. 2 year warranty is more then you find on most products. They won't fall off or shift on your boot. Quality all around. A perfect case of you get what you pay for.

Used mine today on the ice, not a slip fall or anything in between. I wear my gortex hiking boots and dont feel any pressure on my feet. If you use them with a softer sole you can feel some pressure at each spike but these are the best Ive owned,

saw the coast guard wearing these in alaska, convinced me. john

I liked them so much, I shot the entire 2015 ice fishing budget and bought three pairs a med, a large and and extra large! It was the only way my wife's winter boots, my work and heavy hiking boots and winter boots could be covered.

Bozeiceman · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 19, 2015, 10:30 AM »

I don't usually like to review or comment on product, but since this has only two materials and both seem bomber, I have to say these are worth the money so much so that I wouldn't want to be on ice without them anymore. Love these.

Bozeiceman · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 07:28 AM »

All day on the ice with the Microspikes. I blew the seasons ice fishing budget on three pairs, and I have no regrets. These things are weapons!

boulderdash · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 08:17 AM »

do you think they would fit a size 13 boot pac/muck

GrizlyGarou · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 08:20 AM »

I've got size 11 sorels and the large kahtoolas could fit bigger. I think ems has them in stock usually so you could try them on.

Maddog · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 08:25 AM »

On my fourth year with these. Worth every penny

Bozeiceman · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 10:14 AM »

I am a size 11. I ended up buying a medium, large, and an XL

The medium fits my wife's gore tex winter boots and also my Merrell Winter Mocs (which is my casual winter shoe)

The large fits my uninsulated Red Wing work boot, my heavy mountain hiking boot.

The large fits my Keen Summit boot ( pack/hiker hybrid type) which I snowshoe, winter hike with

To answer question about the size 13 pack boot....I am not sure....the XL might work

I don't think it would stretch over my NEOS Navigator 5's! But I will check those things are monsterous!

lavaman · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 11:13 AM »

just got mine. they work great

scootermsp · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 11:49 AM »

I've got size 11 Sorels that have a safety toe. The XL fit but I wouldn't count on them going much more than a half size over that.

Uncle Lar · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 09:06 AM »

As mentioned above...try them first if you can.
I wear a size 13 and even though their size chart says they will fit up
to a size 13.5, they do NOT fit on my Rocky Blizzards.

Pike Bait · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 09:13 AM »

I heard this was a concern for others but I wear size 13 boots (Cabela's Inferno™ 2000 Pac Boots) and they were able to slip over them....just need a little muscle

tracksnorth · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 09:15 AM »

I use them on my bunny boots. Tough to beat and well worth the price

Dsouth883 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 09:23 AM »

Ice Trekkers Diamond Grip Traction make a XXL that will fit the big pack boots, best I have ever used and there quiet that’s very important to my NP fishing crew.

No contest!!! These are by far the best I have ever used. High quality and built to last.

capt.shay · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 10:33 AM »

Ordered a pair last Fri. sight unseen just from all the reviews I read on different threads here. $51.00 delivered from KTP. I hope they are as good as every one says they are because that is almost as much as I paid for the boots I am putting them on

Stealth · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 11:05 AM »

I've had mine for three or four years, by far the best cleats you can own for the ice. Nothing else like them. Worth every penny you spend to not end up hurt from a bad fall. Nothing worse than the sound of a someone's head hitting the ice. Why take the chance? Besides, this GOD doesn't bounce.

ctownfisherman · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 04:30 PM »

They fit on my mucks size 12.

Flags up!

I took a good spill the other day with my cheap stretch on's. I came home and said to heck with the price, it is worth it and ordered them. Of course now we will have snow covered ice for the rest of the season
