  • Worth the price
Size: Large Color: Black
My first set of microspikes were Kahtoola's, back when they were the only ones available. I really liked them, but eventually they became too dull, as they all will do. By then, all of these cheap knock-off brands had appeared, and I gave one of them a try. At first it seemed like a bargain, but with a bit more use, they broke over and over, with weak links and front wire bars, and actually caused me to take a bad fall with injuries during one of their failures. I was going to go back to Kahtoolas again, but began seeing many reports of a decline in quality and reliability from them, with breakage of their newer, thinner, viscoelastic harness. I was a bit concerned by the greater weight and longer spikes of the Hillsound Ultras (I sometimes trail run in them, and didn't want to catch my spikes and trip), but liked the inclusion of the velcro retainer straps to improve stability of the device on the shoe, and prevent losing it under the snow while post-holing. After 3 mountain hikes in them so far, including steep scrambling, I'm very happy with my purchase. I note better traction, especially on descent, from the longer heal spikes, and haven't had any problems with tripping while running. My only other concern for the longer spikes which I haven't been able to assess yet, is that they may be more prone to 'snow-balling' (cookie-cutter effect in packable snow), leading to loss of traction and falls. I'll know more when we get some fresh snow and warmer days. ... show more

  • Success!
Size: X-Large Color: Black
I have recently taken to hiking/climbing the northeast Bakersfield bluffs. These bluffs offer a variety of surface materials including hard-packed clay, rubble, coarse sand, gravel, dirt, and scree and combinations of two or more of each. The clay provides the best traction unless it’s covered with coarse sand which makes for the worst traction. I’ve tested various types of footwear, boots and shoes, with different tread designs and depths, and found the Sketchers GoWalk shoes to be the best overall for the aforementioned surface materials. The soles provide good traction on smooth surfaces and moderately good traction on dirt and on tamped-down vegetation. As good as they are, the Sketchers are not suitable for walking up or down grades of thirty degrees or higher with mixed footing. So, on to the Hillsound Trail Crampon Ultras. The challenge they faced was creating a solid footing on all surfaces and on various incline angles -- both for ascending and descending trail segments. A corollary challenge was that wearing the Ultras didn’t lead to sore feet. The Ultras, strapped onto my Sketchers, exceeded all expectations -- including the sore feet part. They even took much of the effort out of walking on soft sand. They easily handled all the familiar slopes without a single instance of slippage, and after about three miles of this, I was tempted to try climbs that were previously inaccessible. So, next up were a few 50 – 60 degree inclines with mixed surfaces. With the Ultras, they became just a strenuous walk in the park. Since this was only the first time I wore the Ultras, I obviously can’t comment on long-term wear. However, with regard to reliability under extreme stress, they handled all foot orientations on all surfaces and inclines without any hint of slippage or deformation, despite the fact that I weigh over 220 lbs. About the only negative I have to report is that the toe guide refused to stay on the front of my shoes. I’m guessing this is due to the design of the shoe, the size 14 of my dainty feet or both. Whatever the reason, it did not present a problem. ... show more

  • Once was admittedly a bad application -- more snow than ice
Size: Large Color: Black
Have used 2 times so far. Once was admittedly a bad application -- more snow than ice, which you need snowshoes for. Great traction regardless. The second was for a steep ascent hike (i.e. switchbacks the whole way) that was very muddy. I didn't use them on the way up, but I think they were crucial to safety going back down. It's far easier to slip on mud on declines. Never slipped once in these, and they held up fine over rocks (I know you ideally don't want to use them on rocks, but they seem to be strong enough to stand up to my ~200 lbs doing this). I have been rinsing them off after use and haven't noticed any rusting, etc. Having seen some people complain of the chain links coming apart, I'd suggest you pre-emptively keep a zip-tie in your kit. I have not had an issue yet, but if I do, I'll just see how the warranty / customer service experience is. They do come un-adjusted after a mile or so, but this is easy to fix. I was able to keep re-orienting them until they stayed on properly -- I think it's a matter of technique in getting them on, but not too bad. ... show more

  • ... Muir Trail hike in May when the trail was easily 90% covered in snow
Size: Medium Color: Black
I used these for my John Muir Trail hike in May when the trail was easily 90% covered in snow. They worked exactly as expected for microspikes. The buyer should be aware that these are not true crampons. These work great for morning snow that hasn't melted. They are not going to dig in the same way full crampons will to slushier snow. And because they don't have the horizontal blades will not punch into hard snow as easily on ascents, That being said, I pushed these microspikes hard and they rose to the occasion. I went up snow-covered 45-50 degree inclines with a 30lb pack with confidence because they performed so well. A good balance of anterior, posterior, and lateral spikes which provides for solid footing on frozen snow. The top velcro strap does a good job of holding the spikes in place. The benefits are that these are a lighter and less space-occupying alternatives over full crampons that I was able to keep in my pockets when I was boulder hopping or doing stream crossings. They have been trailed tested and so far have been quite durable. I would recommend the product to people who are needing quality microspikes based upon their outdoor habits. ... show more
