I've had a pair of these for 3 or 4 years. I live at the top of a hill in Sheffield and get them out anytime there's a heavy frost or worse, like this week. They haven't let me down yet. Instead of picking my way down the hill I can walk confidently. The only thing to be aware of is that if you walk over rubber (on a bus) or vinyl flooring you sink in and (I assume) leave little holes in your wake. On clear pavements you make quite a loud clicking sound, but they are very easy to pull off once all danger of slipping has passed.

UPDATE: I've been wearing these for a couple of weeks and three of the spikes/studs have sheered off. This is very disappointing. I wouldn't now give them five stars but I can't change that.
I think these are a bit expensive for what they are, but they work very well and make a huge difference on icy pavements so they're easily worth it for me. I live at the top of a long and very steep cobbled snicket/alleyway and felt like staying home rather than attempting to get down it last year after several falls.
I couldn't go on like that, so bought these. The first snowy/icy day and I'm converted. I went straight down the hill with no slipping at all, and strode confidently about the icy pavements while everyone else was doddering about like old folk.
They're very quick to slip on, stay put, and easy to take off thanks to a big tab at the back for that very purpose. The six carbide 'spikes' don't look much but really dig into the ice.
They come with a handy re-sealable plastic carry bag so you can put them in your pocket when they're wet. They don't take up much space in your pocket.
They are a bit odd to walk on ice-free pavements but that's to be expected. You can take them off in seconds if you need to without sitting down or removing your shoes.
Overall, they give you the confidence to walk safely on ice, and if you've ever fallen over on ice, you'll know how valuable that is.
One small snag is that they leave your hands smelling strongly of rubber for ages afterwards if you don't wear gloves when you pull them on and off.

Size Name:Size 3 (46 +)
This is an excellent product for icy conditions. The only drawback is walking in snow. There is too great a surface area of flat rubber covering the tread on your boots so can actually be more slippy in that instance.

opinion on spiky
Bought spiky for the first time 9 years ago for myself and others. Recently delivered replacement pairs are just as simple to use and surprisingly effective. Read more

Good for occasional use, but not really durable enough
In icy conditions like the last week here in UK, and for a quick trip to the local shops along an un-gritted pavement, then these are ideal. Read more

Petzl Spiky Plus Anti-slip Overshoe
The first time I used this item one of the metal spikes fell out of its holder. They do work but similar are available for half the price.

Useless For Me
Petzl have a great name for outdoor hardware, so my expectations were quite high.
Soon to be dashed, I fear. I wanted these spikes for two uses. Read more
