HONYAO Crampons 18-point ice cleats for hiking 🎣
Description:
This pair of ice cleats from HONYAO helps keep your footing on icy pavements and snowy trails, offering reinforced stainless steel spikes and a tear-resistant silicone body for winter walking, hiking and outdoor work. Lightweight and foldable, they can be fitted to walking shoes, hiking boots or wellies to improve grip when surfaces are slippery.
Key Points
The design integrates a larger number of 304 stainless steel spikes with a considered underside layout to deliver improved traction on ice and packed snow. The silicone used is described by the manufacturer as thicker and more elastic than standard options and remains flexible at very low temperatures, down to -50 °C according to the product information. Additional Velcro straps are included to secure the cleats to footwear so they stay in place during movement. These grips are presented as suitable for a wide range of footwear including walking shoes, snow boots, hiking boots and trainers. Each crampoon weighs around 145 grams, making the pair portable and easy to carry in a rucksack.
Technical Specifications

Usage Recommendations
Fit the ice cleats by stretching them over the toe of the shoe first and then pulling them over the heel, fastening the Velcro strap for extra security. They can be put on or removed quickly in a few simple steps, which makes them practical for short walks where conditions change. Use them on frozen paths, snowy roads, muddy tracks or wet grass, but consider removing them on hard indoor surfaces to avoid damage to floors.
Positive Aspects
The firm embedding of spikes in the silicone aims to reduce the risk of pins loosening over time. Portability and light weight mean the grips are easy to carry as spare equipment on colder outings. A small limitation to note is that, as with most external cleats, comfort and fit depend on choosing the correct size for your footwear and on wearing shoes with sufficient sole depth for the device to sit securely.
