Likes: Maiden voyage was up an ice covered trail. People were sliding everywhere but I cruised right past them. The spikes cut into the ice with no slippage. First time putting them on was a little confusing but after that they went on quickly and easily.

Dislikes: nothing

Likes: These MICROspikes are a life-savers! No worries when walking on icy or slippery surfaces. It's great to have confidence walking in snow and ice now. Highly recommend these spikes!

Dislikes: Absolutely nothing!

Likes: My wife and I used our microspikes for the first time to hike across a frozen lake and summit a modest ADK peak with ice covered rock surfaces. They worked great! Easy to get on and off, the sizing was right on. We're looking forward to using them on a couple high peaks in the near future.

Dislikes: Nothing - they're great!

Likes: I am a klutz by nature and live in a climate where there are frequent patches of snow and ice on the ground. I was skeptical of these MICROspikes as to whether or not they would keep me from falling when out on my daily walk with the dogs, but they really work! I have worn them on my Sorel Caribou boots when walking on snow, ice, and even in slippery dirt and never once have I slipped or fallen. I can walk while looking around instead of constantly scanning the ground for icy spots. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who lives where snow falls. I've already bought a pair for my husband and will be ordering another pair for my elderly father.

Dislikes: A bit pricey, but well worth it.
