How do you put microspikes on?
That’s very easy because of the stretching rubber band where microspikes are attached. First, you put the rubber band on the front of your shoe and then stretch it all the way to the back. Microspikes should be attached so tightso they are not wobbly, but firm.
Where do you need microspikes?
Microspikes are suitable for all icy and low-slope terrains. They come in very handy when walking through winter landscapes, where terrain changes frequently. You can also use them to attempt some smaller hills. But keep in mind that microspikes are definitely not for use in high-altitude mountains or steep slopes. In that case, you should rent crampons instead.
