Initial Thoughts on the Kahtoola EXOspikes Footwear Traction

These EXOspikes are great for any icy encounters – both on the trail and around the city! Love how easy they are to pack and put on, these are a staple item for winter adventures.

Pros Cons
  • Fits securely around both hiking and running shoes
  • If you are in between sizes, I would recommend sizing up
  • Comes with a little bag for easy packing and travel
  • May need to leave them on shoes for a bit after adventuring to let ice/snow thaw off prior to removal
