Our Verdict
Specifically crafted for winter runs on slick roads, icy and snowy trails, these micro crampons offer a quick and convenient attachment to most modern running shoes. Although not meant to substitute the traditional crampons used in technical mountaineering routes, they provide excellent grip on snowy surfaces and prevent slips on ice. It is recommended to use them in conjunction with hiking poles, especially during descents, to enhance safety and grip in challenging winter conditions.
