WALK • RUN • TRAIN

Kahtoola NANOspikes®, featured in Outside Magazine’s “2019 Winter Buyer’s Guide,” are designed for use on icy and snow-packed roads, streets, and urban trails. Ideal for transitioning on and off dry pavement, tungsten carbide spikes allow you to run or walk naturally in mixed winter conditions without affecting foot strike, gait and/or stride. Each pair of NANOspikes® includes a tote sack.

Product Description

Spike Design

Made from tungsten carbide, each spike is extremely wear-resistant for use on pavement without affecting foot strike, and is held in place with a lightweight aluminum anchor, while a surrounding TPU cleat provides added traction and shock absorption.

Reinforced Eyelets

Reinforced using durable TPU inserts to ensure longevity, each patented eyelet allows the elastomer bands to be lighter and stronger, preventing tearing along the harness and at connection points.

Traction Plates

Upward-facing traction ensures NANOspikes® stay in place against footwear.

Dual Compound

Using TPU construction, a softer compound provides wear-resistance, flexibility and aides in snow release, while a harder compound near the spikes disperses force against the shoe’s sole.

Toe Bale

Highly flexible with recessed connection points, the toe bale secures the foot’s position at the front of the shoe for added comfort, preventing the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness.

Raised Heal Tab

Allows for easy pull-back and removal.

Elastomer Harness

Low-profile, extremely durable and ergonomically shaped, the elastomer bands are constructed from TPE for a secure fit and remain stretchy down to -30°F.
