Product Description:

Mile after mile, NANOspikes® footwear traction provides unrivaled comfort, grip and performance when running on icy streets, roads, and sidewalks. Ten extremely wear-resistant tungsten carbide spikes per foot bite into frozen surfaces and highly durable dual-compound TPU traction plates feature specialized inserts that disburse impact forces. NANOspikes® also allow users to safely transition between dry and slippery pavement without affecting the natural running motion, providing the high performance road runners demand so they can train and stay outside all year round.

 Features and Benefits:

  • Ten spikes per foot with embedded tungsten carbide tips grip icy surfaces. Each spike is held in place with a lightweight aluminum anchor and is surrounded by a TPU cleat for added traction and shock absorption.

  • A soft outer compound provides wear-resistance and flexibility, and aids in snow release, while a hard inner compound near the spikes disperses force against the outsole of footwear. Additional upward-facing traction ensures the traction plates stay in place against footwear.

  • Using a patented eyelet design, tough TPU inserts reinforce key stress points, allowing the elastomer harness to be lighter and stronger.
  • TPU toe bail provides added security and prevents the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness.
  • Low-profile and ergonomically shaped, the elastomer harness is constructed from a durable TPE for a secure fit that remains stretchy in cold temperatures, down to -22°F (-30°C).

Not slipping! But a little tight.

The first time I wore these after an ice storm, I felt invincible. I took the nanospikes off after 5 miles when I was on cleared and salted paths, and I was able to maintain a swift pace on the very icy first 5. After finishing my 10 mile run, I took off my shoes to find two of my toes bloody. What I took to be a slightly snug fit ended up causing a couple of blisters to form. I'm not sure what the solution is yet, but I will try taping my feet before using again. I'm a size 12, and I purchased the Large size. Perhaps I should have purchased the XL for a little more room.
