How do I clean my MICROspikes?

Rinse or wipe them down with water after each use to remove snow, ice, and debris. Store them in the provided tote sack when not in use.

What should I do if a spike breaks?

Inspect the MICROspikes before each use. If a spike breaks, contact Kahtoola or a qualified repair shop for assistance. Continuing to use damaged MICROspikes could compromise safety.

Troubleshooting

MICROspikes are difficult to put on.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try warming the elastomer band slightly to increase flexibility.

MICROspikes feel loose or unstable.

Double-check that the elastomer harness is securely stretched over your footwear. Make sure the toe bale is properly positioned.
