Bought these after a spring of getting into hiking and trying to go up wet, packed snow in runners. Not a great plan. Would've been nice. By the time I bothered buying em, though, they were unnecessary for basically everything I did. Granted, I'm a lot more comfortable than most just going it in my trail shoes, but despite that these have some key features I like: - they are cheap. I can wear em even where snow turns to rock/dirt and there's patches of both ice and rock. Easy to slip here, but you'd also not want to damage real crampons or expensive spikes. These? Who cares. Keeps me safe. - they're light, and broadly compatible. Even on alpine objectives where I bring Crampons, these are a nice backup in case of gear failure. Had to do that once, and they stopped me from a very slow attempt to get out of a gnarly solo winter hike - if you do something stupid like go up to 3500m in a tshirt without gloves, they let you confidently run down a snowy mountain to avoid frostbite :D Overall, in my opinion there's not too much room where these are necessary but you wouldn't pack crampons. But, they're convenient in basically all snowy areas, and the use cases above you'll be glad to have em. Would recommend.

I have purchased many pairs of these for my clients and for myself. They work wonderful, and save me over $80 a pair compared to the brand name versions that are identical. I have had one pair break on me, but my fault as I overstretched them onto a much larger pair of boots. The chains are easily field repairable with a Multi-Tool, the spikes are very durable and strong. And the added velcro strap ensure they stay on no matter how rough you are. I love the waterproof and very durable carry case. I will continue to recommend these to all my clients as long as they are still available.

Used them twice so far so good and easy to pack in a bag

Bought these to do Helvellyn Lake Districk. It was -13° with gusts at 65mph. I was wearing Salamon hiking shoes which are a 8.5. I bought the size 5-8 and glad i did. They fit really well abd very secure at no point was i worried about them slipping off.

Bit clunky to put on until you read the instructions and figure it out then they are very good, solid and strong, helpful in the mud and loose ground not just ice, after falling twice in one day it was time for these and I'm much safer in the woods
