Used for dog walking on footpaths across fields during 'Beast from East' storm. Excellent grip where thin layer of snow hid icy patches - great for confidence. Spikes excellent quality but could have been longer - foot did slip forwards on ice when going down a relatively moderate gradient. Balls of icy snow did accumulate between the plate and hiking boots where snow wasn't completely frozen. Straps left a distinct abrasion strip on the heels of my Scarpa leather boots which wasn't expected, considering the straps felt loose and one kept slipping down. Getting very stiff heel arch plate in place and getting straps round heel tight enough was a nightmare. Found spike/chain mix (Pogu) easier to put on and use as they are not restricted to insole spikes.
