Kahtoola, creator of footwear traction and performance-driven gaiters, announced a complete redesign of its ultra-low profile footwear traction, NANOspikes, for the fall 2023 season. Designed for running and walking on snowy, icy roads and sidewalks, the updated NANOspikes offer improved comfort, fit and traction.
“Our innovative NANOspikes redesign is based on customer and athlete feedback, as well as our personal experience from years of field testing the first generation with a variety of popular running shoes,” said Danny Giovale, founder and owner of Kahtoola. “It’s still the proven, ultra-low-profile traction that our customers have come to love, but with thoughtful improvements making it even more performance-driven and comfortable on a wider variety of footwear.”
Landing at retailers in fall 2023, NANOspikes new design updates for ‘23 include:
- Improved fit:
- A broader size range now fits US W 5 to US M 15 and accommodates a wider range of shoe styles.
- A new elastomer geometry improves all-around fit and security, and a larger ergonomic heel tab provides an effortless on/off experience.
- Improved comfort:
- An updated toe bail insert enhances comfort over a wider range of footwear, while low-profile rivet connections minimize pressure points.
- Improved traction:
- New concave tungsten carbide spikes provide instant traction on ice, while a directionally optimized lug design improves grip on ascents and descents in soft snow.
- New center ridges on traction plates deflect uneven ice, allowing spikes to engage faster.
- MSRP $54.95
