Kahtoola MICROspikes GHOST

Move faster and lighter than ever before with the Kahtoola MICROspikes GHOST, which are ultralight, aggressive traction spikes that you slip over your footwear to provide grip for your running or hiking shoes on trails when in snowy, icy or muddy weather.

These bitey spikes are 43% lighter than the best-selling MICROspikes from Kahtoola. By replacing the steel chains with an abrasion-resistant TPU matrix, an ultra-tough material that cuts bulk, without surrendering any durability. Twelve stainless steel spikes deliver aggressive grip, while a hybrid elastomer harness sheds ounces and balances stretch and structure for a secure fit. All this is backed by a 4-year warranty, highlighting just how long-lasting the durability is.

Sizing: (Running Shoes + Hiking Shoes)

*We recommend going up a size for chunky hiking shoes/approach shoes, or if you are on the fringe of two sizes.

Please Note: These are NOT full crampons, and are NOT designed for mountaineering or serious winter fell walking.
