Cimkiz Crampons Ice Cleats Traction Snow Grips for Boots Shoes Women Men Anti Slip 19 Stainless Steel Spikes Safe Protect for Hiking Fishing Walking Climbing Mountaineering

I live in Northern Michigan and have used the mini cleat style ,which the cleats eventually fall off and also use the yak Trax style with the coiled wire which usually works pretty good. Anyways,we had a lot of snow and then it warned up ,melted and was followed up by rain and then refroze. My Yak Trax just slid on the ice below the snow and I wanted something more durable than the previous mini spike cleats ,so I decided to give these a try while snowblowing my driveway. These worked impressively well and definitely dug into the ice below the snow allowing me to not slip or slide at all. I have balance issues so even a slight slip can cause me issues such as my yaktrax in this scenario. These are made with a nice thick durable rubber with the spikes attached to a chain vs a rubber backing found on the mini spikes I would usually buy once or twice a year as the spikes would eventually detach. A prior review I read on these said they had mini spikes but that is not the case and I included pics with this review. As I said above,after a lot of snow followed by the melting and rain and refreezing,my long driveway and private road was literally a solid sheet of thick ice under new snow and these gave me excellent traction with no slipping at all. These exceeded my expectations in not only the grip but in the build quality. Heavy rubber and solid chains and spikes make me believe these are going to last me quite awhile. I would recommend putting these on your boots/footwear before you put them on your feet as they do need a little tug to get them on due to solid rubber compared to the cheaper and thinner mini spike ones. They also include straps to hold both sides of the crampons over the top of the foot to further secure them although I did not use those and they stayed on just fine. It also includes a storage bag to put them in which is appreciated as these are solid and beefy crampons,so it's nice to have them stored in a bag due to their size with the chains and larger spikes. They gave me a lot of confidence and I am definitely glad that I paid the few dollars more because these are definitely worth it. If you spend time outdoors on heavy snow and especially Ice,I would recommend these. A well deserved 5 stars in my opinion.

Very happy with fit and performance. Goes on my boots well, and stays on! We've had others fall off and never to be found. These are heavy duty and very well constructed. I fall A LOT in the winter. Seriously, I'm very good at it. But these have kept me upright all winter. I've had the chain ones, and they are good for general use, but these dig in and were great walking across a glass like frozen lake in ice fishing season. The rubber is good, and strong also. Would buy again. Oh., and LOVE the color!

I recently picked up the Cimkiz Crampons Ice Cleats Traction Snow Grips for winter walking and I’ve been really impressed with how well they perform on icy sidewalks and snowy trails. The traction is excellent — the metal spikes grip ice and packed snow confidently, and I felt much more secure walking around without slipping. Whether I was heading to the store or walking my dog, I noticed a big difference compared to regular boots or shoes alone. I also like the stretchy rubber harness. It’s easy to slip them on and off over different shoes or boots, and they stay snug without slipping down while you walk. The elastic feels durable and hasn’t lost shape after several uses. These traction cleats fit comfortably under shoes and don’t feel bulky, so you can still walk naturally. The spikes don’t poke through, and the whole setup feels solid even after extended wear. They’re also really easy to store when you don’t need them. One thing to keep in mind is that they’re best for icy pavement and packed snow — they’re not designed for serious mountaineering or very uneven terrain. But for everyday winter use, they do exactly what you’d want.

These crampons have turned out GREAT! I have hiked about 20 miles in them and they are a well made product that hasn’t rusted, here in New Mexico anyway, work very good on ice and snow. I was a little concerned about the quality which was wrong. I did have to squeeze two links together after the first two hikes but since them two thumbs up.

Background info - I'm a Trail Maintainer on the Appalachian Trail in the mid-Atlantic region. So, I'm out on the Trail and hiking almost every other week throughout the entire year. In good and bad and crappy weather. I had a large blowdown tree across my section of the Trail that needed to be cleared. We had just gotten a decent snow fall (~10"), so I was reluctant to head out and clear the blowdown until the snow melted in a week or two. One of my co-maintainers suggested that I get a set of mini spikes to make it easier - and safer - to go out. I've never owned any mini spikes and was doubtful they would help, but went ahead and bought these to try them out. I had read a lot of the reviews, and saw that many of the negative reviews mentioned that the metal links allowed the spikes to separate when using them. I looked at what I received and noticed that some of the links had larger than normal openings to them. So, I took the advise on some of the reviews and used a pair of Channel Locks to crimp every link on each foot. Actual review - I went out the next day. The spikes were very easy to mount and felt tight and secure with no sense of looseness on my boots. I used the restraining straps, mainly because they were there. My trail section is a combination of steep, very rocky ups and downs, as well as nice gently graded mostly flat sections. I wasn't too worried about the flat sections, but the steep rocky areas were of major concern. I am extremely happy to say that the spikes were life-changing for me. I hiked about 7 hours and about 10 miles in sub-freezing temps that day and not once did I feel unsafe on the Trail. Not once did I slip or have questionable footing. It didn't even feel like I had anything on my feet except my regular boots. I've been out before in similar conditions in the past, and decided to be safe and turn back because of unsure footing. It was actually FUN to be out that day! Was my great experience JUST because of these SPECIFIC mini-spikes? I can't say because I don't have anything else to compare them to. Will they work as well on an icy trail and rocks and packed snow? Will the rubber harnesses hold up over time? I don't know, yet. All I can say is that these spikes worked perfectly for me in the conditions above. I felt safe and in control in conditions that in the past I would not have gone out in. I inspected the spikes after I got home, and didn't see where any of the links had separated or loosened at all. So, I feel that the time I took "tightening" the links was well spent. Time will tell if they continue to "wow" me, and how well they will hold up in my varying working conditions and environment. What I can say, though, is that they gave me a sense of safety in conditions where in the past I didn't have that. And that is a REALLY good thing as far as I'm concerned.

YES, all of these types of "icers" keep you from falling on OUR icy conditions. Southeast Alaska has the most variable ice and snow conditions from late September until today at least, April 16th. (sometimes August) We keep a pair in our cars and trucks. I keep a pair attached to my backpack. We have used them on our mountains and trails here and I actually have photos of my wife and another friend behind her sliding down one of our snow covered mountains IN AUGUST, wearing these of course. We all wore these that day!!! (The previous years snow, I slid down first to show them it was safe) These red versions do not want to stretch as far as the black rubber version, this same brand. The red compound is a little tighter. No problem, I have the XX version for my biggest winter hiking boots. These exact versions are the ones I buy. (the black ones too) Amazon sells other name brands and the ones that several of us avoid have more cleats/teeth on the bottom. When you are looking at the different brands on Amazon CLOSELY, you will see a brand that has more spikes/teeth/cleats on the bottom, maybe 24 teeth. Look for the ones that have 2-teeth close to each other in several spots and avoid them. I sharpen special friends icer teeth when they get dull and there isn't enough room for my sharpening tools to get in between those darn "close together teeth". If you order the wrong ones you will understand as soon as you hold them in your hand. It shows on the pictures here on Amazon if you look closely. THESE have enough space between all of the teeth for sharpening. I'm 75, I brake easy, I don't want to fall, I heal slowly now. THE ONES IN THIS PICTURE ABOVE KEEP ME UPRIGHT! On another note. There is the expensive brand that cost 2 or 3 times more than these, there is a reason for that. They both do the same thing but THOSE have thicker SS wires and folded chains and hooks and fasteners on the bottom that keep all the teeth/cleats in place. THESE in this picture above use slightly thinner metal parts and several of these teeth actually broke off of one of mine. These have broken on me in several areas. When I get home I take the small bent or broken part from these and I pull out my stash of worn out and broken OTHER icers and I cannibalize them and repair these using THOSE stronger parts. So technically they will never brake in that spot ever again. I also carry a spare worn out ice cleat in my backpack just encase one of these brake. (I never throw the old icers away) When you live in Alaska for over 40 years and you love the winters in this pristine clean air wonderland then you must use good equipment to stay safe. One more thing, one of my hiking buddies simply buys a new pair of THESE each year. That is how he stops his icers from braking. AND, these are MUCH cheaper than an ambulance or a helicopter flight to the hospital. (where we go it would be a helicopter) Yes I would recommend these to a friend, (a friend recommended these TO ME!)

These crampons fit securely over my boots and feel very sturdy. The stainless steel spikes grip really well on ice and packed snow, giving me a lot more confidence when walking or hiking in slippery conditions. They’re lightweight, easy to put on and take off, and seem very durable. Excellent value for the price, highly recommend!

Fantastic product! We had a bunch of snow here in NJ and I’ve been walking my dogs out in the backyard so we avoid all the rock salt that is on the sidewalks. From walking back and forth after a few days the snow got packed down and it became VERY slippery. I have a bad back so I have to do everything I can to not fall. I was using boots with a very thick lug pattern on the bottom but I was still slipping and sliding around. These grips are an absolute game changer! I actually tried to move my feet around and forget it, not happening. Not unless you pick them up and walk regularly. What an absolutely perfect design and product. I can’t remember a time I was this impressed by how well something works. They don’t add any noticeable weight to your boots, they go on very easily, adjust them so they are balanced and equal and you are ready to go. You can walk on a complete sheet of ice or a frozen lake and you’ll have unbelievable traction. Thank you to whoever designed these, I love them!!!

Ich bin begeistert von dem Komfort, Qualität inkl. Zubehör - klare Kaufempfehlung

This is reliable ice cleats are an absolute must for my winter gear. I picked up the Large Grey version of these 19-spike crampons, and they have thoroughly impressed me. Sizing & Fit (Helpful Note on Sizes): First, a quick note on sizing for anyone trying to figure out the stretch: my partner and I tested the Large size on both a men's size 42 EU (which is roughly a US Men's 8.5-9) and a women's size 37 EU (roughly a US Women's 6.5). As you can see in my photos, the elastomer band stretches easily and fit securely over both sets of winter boots. There was no awkward sagging, and the chains stayed perfectly centered under the sole. Traction & Performance: The 19 stainless steel spikes make a massive difference compared to the smaller, rubber-studded grips I've used in the past. As shown in my attached video, I tested these walking directly across a completely frozen lake. The stability is fantastic—the spikes bite right into the smooth, solid ice, and I experienced zero slipping or sliding. It gave me complete confidence walking at a normal pace on a surface that is otherwise impossible to navigate safely. Ease of Use: They are very straightforward to attach. You just hook the front wire over the toe of your boot and pull the rubber back strap over your heel. It takes seconds, which is a huge bonus when you are trying to put them on outside with freezing hands. Verdict: If you are dealing with icy sidewalks, frozen lakes, or packed snow trails, these grips provide heavy-duty, reliable traction. They are easy to use, fit a wide range of standard boot sizes securely, and the stainless steel feels highly durable. Highly recommended.

Faciles à mettre. Prend pas trop de place dans le sac à dos. Pas très lourdes. À voir sous le temps si elles sont toujours aussi efficaces.

Bought two pairs of crampons for our recent Lofoten, Norway trip. This crampon is simply awesome; it has very good grip on snow and especially icy surfaces. My wife and I could move around confidently without fear of falling.

In no way do these spikes replace a 10/12 point crampon, but they do serve a purpose and they do it very well. I recently hiked the Tarmachan Ridge in full winter condition. Powdery snow with wind scarred ice sections. These spikes gave confidence under foot, very easy to put on and are a must to keep in your pack when it's possible you might encounter slippy conditions. Sometimes the conditions don't merrit a full crampon, this is where these spikes come into their own. Well made and great for the price.
