Product Description

Lightweight and economical, this pocket-sized traction system stands up to slippery terrain.
This grippy, durable, slip-on traction system features strategically placed stainless steel spikes connected to a dynamic flex-chain with a tough elastomer shoe harness. The unique “microspike” chain adjusts itself to grip nearly any surface — from ice and packed snow to wet rocks, concrete, and scree. Extremely durable, MICROspikes require no special buckles or straps. This pocket-sized traction device is the answer for people of all ages who want to stay active in the winter with convenient, effective foot traction.
Price: $59

Experience

I have yet to use these, but I've tried them on and walked on a 300lb. ice block, and I know for sure that they are much more secure than any other similar product I've used.
