Review on XZSUN Ice Cleats - Snow & Ice Traction Boot Cleats with 10-Stud Rubber Crampons and 10 Extra Studs, Sizes: S/M/L/XL - Anti-Slip Footwear Solution by Jason Dahlkemper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I prefer wire bandages to spikes

We had a very cold winter and I bought them to walk icy sidewalks. I already had some wire wrapped ones but they wouldn't hold onto my boots so I decided to try these. I like that they slide easily over my boots and stay in place. I wear US 8.5 women's shoes - I bought a medium size and slipped them over chunky winter boots. I gave it a 3 because I don't like spikes as much as I've liked wire wrap on other brands in the past. I don't feel like the spikes give as much support as the wire spikes, and they also feel weird, which affects my gait. They might be better on ice with slightly hard snow, so the cleats have to dig in more, but on smooth ice they're only marginally better than boots due to the melting of frozen snow.
