Features

Redesigned to Empower. Slick roads, freezing temperatures and diminishing daylight call for traction with unmatched fit, performance and comfort. Redesigned from the ground up, NANOspikes® footwear traction now delivers enhanced comfort, improved grip and a better fit on a wider variety of modern running footwear. So you have the freedom to keep moving confidently on icy streets and sidewalks, all winter long.

  • Ten Concave Tungsten Carbide Spikes: A concave spike profile dramatically increases surface pressure for instant engagement on ice, while tungsten carbide construction resists abrasion up to 100 times more than steel on bare pavement.
  • All-New Center Plate Ridges and Directional Lug Design: Center plate ridges enhance grip and stability on uneven ice and snow, while directional lugs are optimized to improve traction in packed snow during ascents and descents.
  • Integrated Toe Bail for Added Security: Inspired by the award-winning design of our MICROspikes® and EXOspikes™ traction, the integrated toe bail secures the shoe during descents and reduces pressure points at the toe.
  • Enhanced Elastomer Harness Geometry: Provides a more precise, comfortable fit on a wider variety of modern running footwear and makes putting on and taking off NANOspikes® a breeze.
  • Low-profile Rivet Connections: Offer a secure, durable connection between the harness and bottom plate while reducing pressure points against the shoe.
  • Improved Heel Tab: Makes putting on and taking off NANOspikes® traction a breeze.
  • Includes tote sack.

AI FAQs

AI generated FAQs about the NANOspikes V2

Will these crampons fit my boots?

NANOspikes V2 uses an elastomer harness with an integrated toe bail and is built for modern running footwear. Its low-profile design is intended for running footwear on icy streets and sidewalks rather than as a boot-specific crampon.

How quickly can I strap these on before heading up?

Enhanced elastomer harness geometry, an integrated toe bail, and an improved heel tab make NANOspikes V2 easy to put on and take off. The harness is designed for a precise fit across a wider range of modern running footwear, so you can get moving efficiently on winter runs.

Will these bite well enough on hard ice and water ice?

Ten concave tungsten carbide spikes increase surface pressure for instant engagement on ice. NANOspikes V2 is intended for icy streets and sidewalks with running footwear rather than technical water-ice climbing.

Do these points stay sharp enough to grip through a long climb, or will they dull quickly?

The ten spikes are made from tungsten carbide, which resists abrasion up to 100 times more than steel on bare pavement. That abrasion resistance supports durable ice engagement through repeated winter running use.

What's the best way to store these between climbing seasons?

NANOspikes V2 includes a tote sack for carrying and storing the traction device. You can keep the spikes and harness together in the included sack between winter outings.

Are these light enough that I won't regret carrying them on a long climb?

NANOspikes V2 weighs 0.23 lb. This low-profile running-footwear traction is built to give you winter grip on icy streets and sidewalks without a heavy crampon-style setup.

Will these work for steep ice climbing, or are they better for mountaineering?

NANOspikes V2 is low-profile traction for modern running footwear, with ten concave tungsten carbide spikes for icy streets and sidewalks. It is suited to winter running traction rather than technical steep ice climbing.

How securely do these stay attached once I've put them on?

The integrated toe bail secures your shoe during descents, while low-profile rivet connections create a secure, durable link between the harness and bottom plate. The elastomer harness is shaped for a more precise fit on a wider range of modern running footwear.
