"I had been using Yaktrax Pro for about a month here in snowy Michigan when I found that they were wearing out. Switched to the Kahtoola Microspike and thought that I was in heaven. I felt so much more secure on ice/black ice, etc. in my Microspikes! Even on an icy/muddy trail, I didn't have one moment of instability."

"I had been using a pair of Yaktrax Pro traction devices for winter trail running and was fairly pleased with them. However, this winter I got a pair of Kahtoola’s new MICROspikes to test, and now I’m never going back. The MICROspikes are super rugged, burly, and easy to use."

"I run on small rocks and dirt and in snow drifts. I have used YakTraxs (3rd pair in two years) previously but they do not hold up running where I run. I just purchased the Microspikes and I was in love with them the first run.

I was amazed at the traction."
