Sturdy. Grips provide extra traction, work much better than the wire type for ice on flat walking surfaces. Form nicely to footwear.

Ice and snow are not my friends. I have these on my boots all the time and not one worry of slipping and falling. Definitely a bit tough to get on, easy to remove. I find this product to be worth every cent.

Ordered these a week or two back. Wore them on my work boots to clear snow in my driveway. Had some icy spots with packed down snow. They worked well in keeping my feet from slipping on the snow. They do hold quite a bit of snow between the chains, but that doesn't keep them from working well! Would buy them again if need be or another set for another pair of shoes/boots.

These boot chains work well for my Winter hiking. They are not uncomfortable to walk on and give enough traction. They also do not collect any wet snow or ice which I have experienced with some other designs that have spikes attached to metal plates. The chains are attached with a metal circle to the rubber which is a plus. I ripped through a different type of cleats that did not have the metal circle holding the chains. (Though it was the other design and I was kicking trees every 20 feet to clear the lump of ice forming on the plate) I have put miles of hiking on mine through the woods. The only adaption I have made is I use tiny bungies over the top to hold the on if I am traversing through a lot of brush. Otherwise they stay on very well,

Good fit, good price point. Well made and durable. I ordered a large and my boot size is 9 mens. Better to order larger than you need as you will be putting them on winter boots. Cheaper than other brands.

This product offers an exceptional grip that truly stands out compared to the several others I’ve tried. I own two sizes to accommodate my various winter shoes, and they are incredibly easy to put on and take off. Once in place, they stay securely on my shoes, providing both comfort and stability. Whether I’m running errands or enjoying outdoor activities, I can rely on these for a secure fit every time

[Update, Jan. 25, 2024: My original review appears below. I update it only to say that the seller - Pecube - reached out to me to let me know that they have another type of ice cleat that might be better suited to the conditions where I live. They sent me a pair of their crampons - available on Amazon through the Pecube store - and I'm very happy with them. I'm also very pleased and impressed by Pecube's outstanding customer service. I would definitely purchase from them again in the future. They really do stand behind their products.]I live in Alaska. For 5 or 6 months in a typical year we can experience snowy and icy conditions. It’s worst when we get a brief “warm” spell (anything over 32 degrees F) followed by another cold snap, because melting snow - or even rain - freezes on just about every paved surface, and it can be treacherous trying to walk anywhere. Like so many other Alaskans, I’ve relied on ice cleats for safely walking or hiking on ice or hardpacked snow. I always keep a backup pair of cleats for the inevitable time when one of my primary pair breaks.My primary cleats are a well-known brand that has a “diamond grip” set of “beads.” They work well in all conditions. This year I ordered a pair of the Pecube ice cleats to have on hand as a secondary pair, mainly because the reviews were good and the price was about half what I paid for the others. Well, live and learn, I guess.I relied on the size chart on the Pecube cleats product page. My hiking boot size is right in the middle of the “Large” cleat size range, according to the chart. I’m guessing the Medium size would have been a better choice, because these things fit pretty loosely and the chains end up dragging on the ground rather than fitting snugly against the bottom of my boots.I could live with that, I guess, but of greater concern is that these things simply do not grip very well on smooth ice or on ice that has water on top of it (which is typical during freeze-thaw events).Bottom line: These cleats work okay on hard-packed snow, but not okay on ice. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

I've tried several different cleats/crampons that are fit over/tied onto your shoes/boots. These leave them all in the dust. While the others I've tried break and bend and collect ice/mud/weeds/muck (I have a farm, so animal poop is a frequent occurrence), these do not. They can be easily cleaned off with a boot brush at the door of any gunk that does get into the links. They don't have sharp points that will cut into your floors, and the chains offer superior traction compared to crampons that sit only under the ball of your foot.Note that these are NOT a "perfect" solution for walking on slippery surfaces! (I doubt such a thing exists, so I didn't expect it, and you shouldn't, either.) You can still slide on ice, but that's true of all the others I've tried, as well -- these are less likely to slide, though, especially since they don't build up stuff that negates the gripping power. With a little caution while you're walking, they will minimize how much you slide. They are also hazardous for walking on tile, bare wood, or linoleum as the chains will let you slide on those smooth surfaces, but again, a little caution and you'll be fine.The only thing I might dock a few points for is that they do tend to run a little small. I got the X-Large for my farm boots, which are men's size 11. According to the sizing guide, that should have been a Large. I would NEVER have gotten a Large on my boots. It took 2-3 minutes of stretching to get the X-Large on, and they curl the toes of my boots up, which is slightly uncomfortable after first putting the boots on (but they stretch out again after a little bit of walking). The X-Large fit nicely (slightly loose) on my sneakers, men's size 10.5 (which the sizing guide would also put at a Large -- I would guess that the Large would have to be stretched over the sneakers like the X-Large had to be over my boots).
