These are not what you'd call beautiful, but they do the job pretty well. The spikes are not large, more like those on a pair of golf shoes. These are easy to slip over a pair of boots and fit snugly (I'm a size 14 and I bought the "11 and up" size, so they may not be so tight on the lower end of that range). I've walked the same ice with and without and they make a significant difference.
Revision: I have since bought YakTrax (through Amazon) and I have to say that the YakTrax kick these spikes rear end. With the YakTrax, you can walk confidently, with a normal stride, over most ice and not slip. With the Petzls, you can walk, but gingerly, because you need to make sure you've landed on the spikes and dug in. The tendency is to walk a bit more tentatively. Nevertheless, they're a good backup, fit over most shoes, and I keep them in the trunk, for emergencies.

These were a gift for my husband to run outside during the winter months. He has only had to use them twice but they worked just fine.

I just received these today, and haven't tried them yet. I do know that they're kind of hard to put on my shoe, but my main concern is their longevity and price. They hardly look like they are worth $31. (hence the 3 stars). But as I said, only time will tell.
