Shout out for Microspikes

Normally I won't post more than once a day and I may not post more than once a week, but I wanted to comment on a product I purchased in December that may be something you want to try.

Today was a snowy day in Central Maryland. I usually go out and shovel the walks and driveways early so that the pavement gets a chance to dry and not ice up, but I was slacking today and even though the snow was cleared, there were a lot of slick spots on the driveway. When I went to walk Roscoe, Dave suggested I use my Microspikes, as I really don't want to hurt myself right before my Dopey Challenge.

I can't say that the spikes saved my butt, but I know that I didn't slip or even skid while I was out. Roscoe and I walked about 4/10 of a mile over a variety of surfaces, snowcovered, icy, seemingly clear. I had no problems. I do need to buy a larger size if I use them for running, since I bought for my normal shoe size, not my running shoe size.

If I change my mind, I'll let you know, but as of now, I give Microspikes a big thumbs up. They were available on Amazon.
