Kahtoola NANOspikes Footwear Traction

Kahtoola NANOspikes are the urban option within Kahtoola’s Stretch-On Traction range. Designed for runners, walkers and commuters, they provide dependable low-profile grip on icy roads, pavements and other hard winter surfaces while keeping your feet close to the ground for better stability and a more natural stride.

Ten concave tungsten carbide spikes per foot bite into ice while resisting wear on abrasive surfaces such as roads and pavements. Durable TPU traction plates help disperse impact forces for a smoother feel underfoot, while the stretch harness fits securely over modern running and walking footwear.

Backed by Kahtoola’s 4-year limited warranty, NANOspikes are built to keep urban winter routines moving. Here are some more reasons to consider them…

FEATURES

• Ten Concave Tungsten Carbide Spikes Per Foot: ten low-profile, 0.21 inch/5.3mm spikes engage quickly with hard and glare ice, providing secure traction without the aggressive underfoot profile of a mountain chain system.
• Highly Wear-Resistant Carbide: Kahtoola states that tungsten carbide is up to 100 times more abrasion-resistant than steel, making it particularly suitable for regular use on hard urban surfaces.
• Centre Plate Ridges and Directional Lugs: raised ridges improve stability on uneven ice and snow, while directional lugs provide additional traction on packed snow and gentle inclines.
• Dual-Compound TPU Traction Plates: the flexible and durable traction plates help disperse impact forces across the sole, supporting a smoother, more natural stride when running or walking.
• Low-Profile Design: NANOspikes keep the foot close to the ground for improved stability and a less pronounced feel underfoot than aggressive mountain traction.
• Enhanced Stretch Harness: the thermoplastic elastomer harness is shaped to fit modern running and walking footwear securely and remains flexible in temperatures down to -30°C.
• Reinforced Connection Points: reinforced eyelets and low-profile rivet connections improve durability while helping to reduce pressure against the footwear.
• Integrated Toe Bail: reinforced toe bail helps prevent the front of the shoe from pushing through the harness. It also improves security on descents while reducing pressure across the toes.
• Simple Stretch-On Fit: no straps, buckles or adjustments are required. NANOspikes stretch over compatible footwear and can be removed quickly when conditions change.
• Storage Tote: Included
