Excellent product, highly recommended. I have had mine for so long that I cannot clearly remember when I got them--at least five years, maybe closer to ten. They are very quick and easy to put on and take off and give markedly improved traction on a variety of winter surfaces including loose snow, packed snow, rough ice, and even glare ice; they have also proved to be rugged enough to wear when passing over even extended stretches of bare concrete, exposed rock, gravel, and mud. After what may have been several hundred miles walked in them across many Alaska winters--in parking lots and sidewalks, over hiking trails, and even up rocky mountain slopes--I never had any trouble with them whatsoever until yesterday when the silicone strap down the side finally broke. Considering how long I've had them and both the amount of use and the roughness of some of that use, I definitely feel that I got my money's worth out of them and I've come here to buy another pair, which I hope to have for at least another five to ten years.
