Yaktrax Pro Spikes Black L

These are great for slippery conditions, and they're more stable on areas without ice than my other cleats. The velcro is nice to keep them on firmly.

Good fit and strap is very useful in securing to boots

These are great for ice fishing! They stay on your boots really well and give good traction. The only bad thing is they wear out fairly quickly.

So, I purchased these pretty much exclusively to use for running. I have a pair of the walking version, but I needed the extra security that the strap would provide. I typically do trail runs after work in the woods, and up until the recent ice storm, had not needed anything like these. As part of my new "no excuses" policy when it comes to runs, I needed something that would let me navigate the hard packed sleet in a way that ordinary shoes would not. The trail was essentially a sheet of ice, and was completely impassible to foot traffic at anything more than a sliding shuffle, but the addition of these seemingly simple devices opened up a whole new world of ice running. I was as surefooted as a goat, and did not have a single slip during the entire run. These things just scoff at ice. Even hills weren't an issue, and because of the lack of spikes on the bottom, I didn't have to worry about the occasional sections of boardwalk or the pavement when walking to the trailhead. The transition is smooth and painless. If you are doing a more technical trail, or have some severe elevation gain, you will potentially need something more aggressive, but for running on roads and simple singletrack trails which are covered in ice, I would highly recommend these, especially at this price point.
