A remarkably superior product January 3, 2009

I have been eying these for some time now, but have held off buying them because of their price. This fall I said what the heck and bought them. I am sure glad I did. I have been a Yaktrax fan for many years, but I will say that the Microspikes are a profoundly superior product. Their grip on the ice is solid. I have never felt so safe. All aspects of the Microspike are superior to the Yaktrax. The stainless steel chain and spikes will not ware out and hold the ice much better than the steel springs of the Yaks. The design of the upper rubber harness is superior as well. There is no need for the strap going over the top of the boot. Because of the strength of rubber it took a little time to figure out a "one hand, one move" movement to get the rubber over the boot. But once that was figured out - no problemo(a).
There are two caveats. 1). Because of the spikes, there is no way these can ever be worn in doors. With other products you can "sorta" skirt around this rule, but not with Microspikes. 2). These are not a substitute for mountain climbing crampons. The makers say they can be used for running and jogging. I don't know anything about that, but for everyday use out in the snow and ice they cannot be beat.
Buy these, you will be very glad you did.
