How to Use Your Mini Spikes

1. Before stepping out, ensure your footwear is flat and stable.
2. Place the cleat's front section over your toe area.
3. Stretch the cleat back and over the heel of your shoe.
4. Adjust to center the cleats with your soles.
5. Check that each stud is solidly in contact with the sole.
6. Walk normally, but with care on ice or snow.
7. Remove the cleats once indoors to prevent slipping.
8. Clean cleats after use to remove debris and ice.
9. Store your cleats in a cool, dry place after drying.

Important Usage Tips

Always test your Mini Spikes on a safe, icy surface before venturing into more hazardous areas. This ensures the cleats are properly fitted and effective. If you feel any instability, adjust the fit or check for wear and tear. When not in use, keep your cleats away from direct sunlight as UV rays can degrade the rubber over time. Lastly, regularly inspect the studs for wear and replace the cleat if they are significantly worn down.
