Great for dog walking

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

I bought these spikes for walking my dogs in the winter. I live in Michigan and we get a fair amount of ice and snow. After falling on the ice and tearing a hamstring one winter, I went searching for a solution that would provide secure footing for walking my two dogs.
These spikes are AMAZING!!! I keep them on one pair of boots and just reserve that pair of boots for dog walking. They went on my boots easily and have not shifted or come off in two years of use. If it could be icy at all I wear these and have never slipped at all no matter how icy.
These are truly the best thing ever for icy surfaces. I’ve bought them for my elderly parents and other family members who may have to walk in icy surfaces.
They have small discs in the bottom, not actual spikes, and that allows me to walk on my LVP floors if absolutely necessary. Not sure what would happen to real wood floors, but my floors have not been dented or scratched from these.

Be careful of sizing in the upper end of the range

These look like they should be great for what I need. I know people who use them and like them, so I ordered a pair. I wear a size 12 shoe so i ordered the 8-12 size in these spikes. They were far too small. Maybe if you wore a size 12 that was very small volume. Maybe. Just beware these are sized very small.

These work great for walking in snow and ice. They make me feel safe and that I won’t slip. East to pull into my boots.

I purchased these as a replacement for another brand of snow/ice spikes for the New England winter. These took some getting used to, but they work quite well.

I got these thinking the straps would prevent them from coming off on walks but you can still walk right out of them. These studs feel just like the coils that other styles use, I like them both about the same. Good for walking on ice and crud I have 3 pairs not a huge improvement from the other models, equally as good not better.

Saved us on icy streets

These are lifesavers for black ice and slippery sidewalks/roads. I've used the coil yaktrax before and they also worked well, but I liked the spikes on these and bought them for our winter vacation. Right when we got off the shuttle, two people slipped and fell on the icy sidewalk across the street, and I witnessed multiple other people slip and slide over the week. I felt very comfortable walking around in these. They still work in powder, but the snow builds up around them, so keep that in mind.
I wear an 8, bought an 8.5 boot, and ordered the W medium and they stretched over my boots with no problem. I dont think the velcro is necessary unless you're hiking maybe, but otherwise the rubber is stretchy but tight enough.
I would buy these again.

They tend to run small but I total swear by these when hiking in snow and ice. They have saved my bacon on many occasions.

So far so good!

I have used these a few times at the dog park, where there are some steep, icy, dissents, as well as on neighborhood dog walks. They work great! I totally feel secure, and even if I am not sure if I would need them on that day, it’s really nice to just put them on, and not worry about slipping… They work really well. I read a bunch of reviews and paid attention to the ones that said to get ones that have the top strap going over your shoe or boot, and I can see how it would be a problem if it wasn’t there. With a strap, they’re easy to put on and have never shifted. I got the large size and they work for both my duck boots and my tennis shoes. My shoe size is a women’s nine. The only thing I don’t know about so far is longevity, so time will tell!
