MICROspikes®

Kahtoola's MICROspikes® are traction devices that can replace crampons in moderate alpine terrain. Their twelve spikes, made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, offer reliable grip on ice and snow. Thanks to their sophisticated 'upper part,' they fit almost any type of footwear. This elastic upper, made of extremely durable elastomer, allows for easy donning. The unique toe bail prevents slipping at the tip of the boot.
