Kahtoola NANOspikes

Urban Explorer

Designed for hard surfaces, NANOspikes® footwear traction delivers low-profile performance that keeps you close to the ground for better stability and a natural stride on icy streets and sidewalks.

Ten tungsten carbide spikes per foot bite into ice and resist wear from pavement and other abrasive surfaces. Durable TPU plates disperse impact forces for a smooth feel underfoot, while strong, low-profile rivet connections enhance comfort and durability.

• Ten Concave Tungsten Carbide Spikes - Concave spikes increase grip on ice. Tungsten carbide is up to 100 times more abrasion resistant than steel and delivers unmatched durability on hard surfaces.
• Center Plate Ridges and Directional Lugs - Center plate ridges enhance grip and stability on uneven ice and snow. Directional lugs improve traction in packed snow on ascents and descents.
• Integrated Toe Bail - Secures footwear during descents and reduces pressure points at the toe.
• Enhanced Thermoplastic Elastomer Harness Geometry - Provides a precise, comfortable fit on modern running footwear. Features patented reinforced eyelets for increased durability and retains its elasticity down to -22°F (-30°C).
• Includes tote sack
