Use of Spikes
The spikes are designed for snow sports
practiced on levelled icy terrain, including
meadow trails. The spikes give confidence
to hike, trek, or walk on packed snow or icy
terrains safely. Packed snow is the snow
that is compressed in the cold weather
promoting its refreezing instead of melting.How to Buy Spikes
Snug fit: They should fit snugly to the boot sole. The spikes with poor fitting would remain in
snow or ice and foot would slip, causing ankle and knee injuries.Quality locking mechanism: A secure quality locking mechanism is the next necessity. If the
ice or snow gathers in the mechanism, you have to re-attach the spikes every now and then. And
you may fall.Durability: Check durability of the material used.
Balance: Test the design for its ability to balance the body weight.
Remember
Do not wear spikes
if the snow is so soft
that your feet sink in
