Due North Everyday G3 Ice Cleats for Shoes & Boots - Traction Spikes for Men & Women to Improve Grip on Snow & Ice

Perfect for icy weather, highly recommended to prevent slipping and falls

I wore these out on an 18 mile hike in West Lothian Scotland. Ice. SO much ice. There were people slipping and falling all around me. I witnessed 7 falls, one with a bleeding head as a result. I did not slip wearing these. I wouldn't go jogging in them, but they performed very well and were easy enough to get on and off. I would definitely recommend these as a good entry level ice cleat or to have on hand for emergency.

Recently wore these in thick and uneven iced ground - great traction!

These make walking in snow and ice so much better. Wouldn't be without

Bought these last year. Not a fleck of snow since! But I like the idea I'm prepared.

Great value, and very useful on a recent trip to Norway.

I bought these after falling on black ice and becoming afraid to go outside in icy conditions. No more fear, these work! You have to make sure they are properly attached as per the photo otherwise they will slip off. (This was never a problem for me but my mother in her 60s couldn't manage it). They do not fit on every shoe (particularly if the sole is very thick). They are noisy on concrete so you find yourself seeking out the snow and ice to walk more discretely! I have never slipped in these and been wearing them for years (every few years i buy a new pair as the rubber wears out).

If older like me they can be quite a pull to get on but they are great for walking on ice.

J’avais exactement les mêmes depuis plusieurs années, donc je connais bien le produit. Très solides et pratiques, ils se plient et se rangent dans votre sac prêts pour utilisation. Ils s’adaptent facilement à mes bottes ou à un soulier imperméable plus léger quand la météo se gâte. Il n’est pas nécessaire de modifier son pas, mais ça peut être légèrement glissant lorsque qu’on doit traverser une intersection sans neige ni glace. C’est cependant entièrement efficace même sur un sentier entièrement glacé. Le seul inconvénient est pour la personne qui te voit passer d’un pas rapide à travers une vitrine en ville. Elle ne peut pas se douter que c’est glissant et que tu portes des crampons tellement ils sont discrets.

This is the 3rd set of these that we’ve owned over 10+ years. They last a long time, actually have only had one break in the 6 pairs we’ve had. Great traction on rough or smooth ice, providing very secure footing. Fairly easy to put on, but you do have to stretch it over your shoe or boot. It can be a challenge to put them on if you have trouble bending or dexterity issues. But, I am 65 and have Reynard syndrome hands, along with arthritis and can still manage them. You can buy replacement cleat inserts as thes have come out on rare occasions (usually when the cleats are older and only on rough terrain). But, I’ve found it cheaper just to replace the whole pair. Overall, these are the best ice cleats for walking or running that we’ve found. We use them regularly in northern Canada winters, and would buy them again.

This turned out to be a very bad design. The toe area is not bad, but the heel is almost impossible to get on and off any larger shoe size. You can even see from the photos that the heel band sits flush against the back of the shoe. This will happily pinch your fingers as you put it on, and provides no way to get a solid hold to pull it off, which you must do before entering any indoor area, or the carbide spikes will scratch up even bare concrete floors, and destroy wood or vinyl or anything similar. Hard to remove even with bare hands, impossible with gloves on. I would strongly recommend you skip these and take a look at YakTrax SnowTrax, the ones with the same carbide spike design. Not the regular ones with what look like springs wrapped around the rubber bands. Those are great on snow but for hard ice they are basically useless. The SnowTrax has rubber loops that stay sticking out on the heel so that you can quickly and easily get your fingers through them and remove the cleats with very little difficulty, maybe even with gloves on. And they seem to be easier to stretch onto larger shoes without so much effort. I tried to stretch these Due North G3 cleats with some reversed shop clamps, but even after stretching a pair so far that one split at the toe after leaving them overnight, it seemed to make no difference in how hard they were to stretch. Avoid.

Had a 3 day hut trip above 10K ft during a period where days were in the 50s and nights were below freezing, which means ICE and variable trail conditions. I own the heavier duty microspikes, but didn't want to carry those in addition to the snowshoes and 25 lb pack I was also carrying. Took a chance on these since they were light and pretty cheap price-wise and they worked out great! We had a number of tricky spots at lower elevation where the road or trail was almost complete ice. I was the only one with smaller traction device outside of snowshoes and was able to navigate those areas without slipping or falling (unlike some of my companions!) Also had to cross bare patches of dirt and rock and these held up - no spikes missing. Would they be my first choice on a 10 mile hike with all snow and ice? No - but for shoulder conditions and as a lightweight option to supplement other activities, these were perfect.

They so SO difficult to get onto my boots, but if I got the bigger ones, they would be too big! Also the spikes come off a little too easily for my liking. I used them last year for a bit, but I won't be using them again. looking for other solutions.
