Features
EXOspikes™ footwear traction sets a new standard for versatile winter traction that delivers true cross-terrain performance for trail runners and hikers. Designed to take a beating, EXOspikes™ introduces an industry-first TPU Traction Matrix that is more lightweight and abrasion resistant than steel, and enables users to take on a mix of terrain and conditions - including frozen mountain trails, icy roads, and everything in between. EXOspikes™ combine more than two decades of winter traction technology and experience, and embody the high performance, reliability, and safety outdoor enthusiasts expect from Kahtoola.
- Best Use: Trail running, hiking
- Terrain: Mountain trails and roads
- Conditions: Ice and packed snow, dirt, mud, rocks
- Footwear: Trail running and hiking shoes
- Spike Design: Twelve integrated spikes per foot deliver three levels of traction. Tungsten carbide tips bite into ice and packed snow, aluminum steps grip uneven surfaces, and TPU lugs dig into loose terrain.
- TPU Traction Matrix: An industry-first TPU Traction Matrix is extremely durable and more abrasion resistant than steel. The open design quickly sheds snow and adapts to a wide range of flexible footwear.
- Reinforced Eyelets: Using a patented eyelet design, tough TPU inserts reinforce key stress points, allowing the elastomer harness to be lighter and stronger.
- Integrated Toe Bail: Using the same technology and TPU as the reinforced eyelets, an integrated toe bail provides added security and prevents the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness.
- Raised Heel Tab: Allows for easy pull-back and removal.
- Elastomer Harness: A new TPE elastomer harness geometry optimizes fit and allows for easy entry. Low-profile and highly durable, it remains stretchy in cold temperatures, down to -22ºF (-30ºC)

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the EXOspikes
Can I use these on a day hike without them feeling like overkill?
EXOspikes are built for hiking and trail running across mountain trails and roads, including ice, packed snow, dirt, mud, and rocks. Their cross-terrain design suits day hikes that move between winter and mixed-surface conditions.
Will these help me feel safer on steep or icy terrain?
Twelve integrated spikes per foot use tungsten carbide tips that bite into ice and packed snow. This traction system is intended for icy mountain trails and packed-snow travel.
Are these suitable for muddy or scrambling sections, or just snow and ice?
EXOspikes are designed for dirt, mud, rocks, ice, and packed snow rather than snow and ice alone. TPU lugs dig into loose terrain, while aluminum steps grip uneven surfaces.
How do I know if these will stay attached while I'm hiking?
Reinforced TPU eyelets strengthen key harness stress points, and an integrated toe bail adds security by preventing your toe from pushing through the front of the harness. The TPE elastomer harness is designed to optimize fit across flexible trail-running and hiking footwear.
Can I use these with different pairs of boots, or do I need separate ones?
The open TPU Traction Matrix adapts to a wide range of flexible trail-running and hiking footwear, so one set can move between compatible shoes. Because EXOspikes are sized by shoe size (XS–XL), you'll want to size each pair to the specific shoe you plan to use them with for the best fit.
How confident should I feel walking on packed snow versus ice?
Tungsten carbide tips are built to bite into both ice and packed snow. The 12-spike system provides dedicated traction for either of these stated winter surfaces.
What happens to these if I step on rocks or sharp terrain?
The TPU Traction Matrix is engineered to be extremely durable and more abrasion resistant than steel. This means EXOspikes can take a beating on rocky Tahoe trails without quickly wearing down.
