I am elderly and tend to slip on the sloping parts of the packed dirt path on my daily walk. These really bite in and I never slip. I feel much more secure and can walk faster feeling more relaxed. They are tight to put on and I had to exchange them for a larger size. I was worried when I saw that the spikes were positioned narrower then the width if the shoe that the shoe might be less stable, but I have not noticed any problem even though i have weak ankles. I am happy with these.

My first hike using EnergeticSky cleats was great. 2-6 inches of dry snow. However, my second hike was in 6-12" of snow that turned mushy as the day wore on -- see picture of snow covered cleat. If you look closely at the heel you will see a ball of snow -- it is really compressed to an ice ball. I'm sure as a kid you may have had a snowball fight or built a snowman with some of this type of snow.
The cause of this clumping into a ball on the heel of my cleats is that the cleats are too big. They are made for hiking boot sizes 11-14, and the silicone webbing does not tighten them enough for my size 12s. There is a lot of extra cleat I do not need. Enough that even drawn as tight as possible on my boots, the cleat chains flapped at the heel making snow balls. My fellow hiker recommended removing one link of chain from front and rear of both sides of the cleat. Back in my garage I did this, but found that the cleat rode too far forward -- look closely at the pictures of the mounted cleats and you will see how one set rides way too far forward. You want the aft spikes to be centered on the heel and the forward spikes to be centered on the front of the boot tread. His modification worked for him, but not me.
My solution for a good fit on a man's size 12 hiking boot:
Remove two chain links from each side of the heel. See picture with chains centered on heel. Count the remaining links. This leaves only one link on each side of the heel. This got my cleats riding correctly on the heel of the boot with no play. I used the tools pictured -- what I had on hand -- along with a Workmate.
Removing the links: Do not remove welded links -- just those you can pry apart (see pix of removed links). I used a homemade punch. Use what you have as long as it is tapered and when inserted in the chain link will spread the link apart so it can be removed. Once the punch is started in the link with a hammer, I placed it over a hole in my Workmate and give it a couple hits. To relink the remaining chain, fit the link back in with the open space facing the cleat side that will be against the sole of the boot. I used heavy duty needle nose pliers and a hammer to re-close the link. The vice grips just help stabilize things and save fingers.
Tips: Some people have breakage issues with cleats. Cleats, like tire chains, need to be mounted correctly. If there is a kink or a twist in a link of chain, it will most likely break. So when you put these on, look -- or have a hiking partner look -- to ensure there are no kinks or twists.
I'm sure removing links will end the warranty, but hiking with snowballs could end my ankles. I figured it was worth it to get them to work.
Happy Hiking!

I ordered mine so that I could safely navigate up and back down a hill/slope at the side of my house. They help me to eliminate any loss of footing when I am weeding and taking care of plants and trees. I should have ordered these a long time ago. Much more safe, now.

Could not get the L onto a pair of size 10.5 merrel moab 3's without much undue force. (Rubber was turning white color due to high
over stretching)
Returned for XL

I've had these for over 3 years now, and living in Colorado near the mountains I love to go on hikes in the spring or fall when there's a lot of snow or ice on the trails but it's not good surface for snowshoeing. A lot of people I know have Kahtoolas or Yak Tracks, but I bought this off-brand crampon set for so much less money back in 2019 and honestly these have been as good or even better performers than the big brands. Just used them again last week in RMNP when a relative was visiting and he didn't have any, the trail was easy for me but pretty difficult for him. So I decided I really need to buy a couple more different size pairs to have handy for guests to use, and realized I should leave a good review now too! Definitely recommend.
