the cool thing about the orange straps are you can quickly rotate them to the side when going into stores, only takes a few seconds and thats what their design is built for. thanks for the great video!
One of the biggest problems with many designs is that the rubber becomes rigid in cold temperatures and they lose their stretch quality, so the pull on varieties fall off without you knowing (black rubbber on a black shoe/boot means you cant easily see that it's fallen off. I put red paint or nail varnish on the toe piece so that when i look down while out running i can quickly determine if they are both still on! A bummer when you get hime and find you lost one on yiur 15k run!
THANK YOU! My husband does commercial Hvac and im worried about him being on the roofs in snow and ice. So i wanted to get him some to keep him safe but there is wayyy too many online and its hard to find out which ones are actually good❤
Only Amazon and like Chinese resellers called micro spikes crampons kahtoola The company that makes them or at least the brand name version of those do not claim them to be ice crampons, But micro Spike traction devices
Sorry, not a good test. Go to a hilly area when it's icy and walk around for a while on as many surface types and angles as you can. Nothing else can tell you whether the product will handle it. A flat sheet is only one of many potential shapes of ice found outside and one of the easier to design for.
Nice video but it doesn't help me at all. First of all, I'm a dog walker, and I ride public transportation all day. How the heck I'm supposed to walk a dog with a pole in my hand? Poles don't work for everybody. So maybe you should do a video without poles next time.

Great point, thanks for sharing AwesomeMan. Stay safe out there.
Where do you get those cheap orange strips ones at cost?

Whitney, you're welcome. Sounds like a hard working man, we need to keep him safe for sure...
Thank you for your advice
You're welcome Elly, they all work great and will hopefully keep people from getting hurt.
Dude this is gold , thank you
You're welcome, be safe out there.
Great review thanks
You're welcome, it was fun putting this test together. Glad it was helpful for you.
kahtoola products don't come with straps because they're high quality...

Thanks for the feedback, next time we have an ice storm I'll find a hill and do part 2 with all this gear.
@MakeItorBreakItNow That'd be great thanks. Might end up with the same exact outcome, don't know :)

Good point, you don't need to use a pole, I have friends in Colorado that use these all the time without poles...
Sheesh, poles help some people, it's not all about you
