Collection: Shoes - Shoe care & shoe accessories - Spikes

Which spikes are right for your needs?

For everyday use, short walks, or commuting by bike, lightweight spikes that can be quickly slipped over sneakers or everyday shoes are ideal. They offer uncomplicated protection on icy paths. For winter hiking, trekking days, or ambitious tours in the Alps, you need sturdy, larger models with more teeth, stable rubber guides, and high traction.

If you love trail running, you'll benefit from spikes with low weight, flexible tread, and dynamic freedom of movement. For traveling, choose compact versions that take up hardly any space in your backpack.

Materials, construction & features

Spikes are usually made of durable stainless steel or carbide and are attached to elastic rubber or silicone straps that you can easily pull over shoes, trekking shoes, or winter boots. Depending on the model, you benefit from:

  • Durable metal pins for a firm grip
  • non-slip frame constructions
  • Targeted profiling for inclines or crossings
  • Stable traction, even at low temperatures

Many spikes work with different types of shoes. It is important to have a secure, non-slip fit so that traction is optimally transferred.

Fit, size & handling

For spikes to work reliably, they should fit snugly but not cut into the skin. It is best to try them out directly with your hiking boots, winter boots, or trekking shoes. Make sure that the spikes are evenly distributed and do not slip when walking.

They can usually be put on and taken off in seconds. This allows you to switch flexibly between asphalt, snow, or nature trails. You can check the fit and application right on site at Transa stores.

Areas of application & advantages at a glance

  • Winter hiking and snow walks
  • Icy city paths & commuting
  • Winter trekking
  • Traveling to cold regions
  • Trail running on frozen trails

With reliable spikes, you can move more stably, safely, and relaxed—even where others turn back.

Care, storage, and durability

Rinse your spikes briefly under water after use, remove road salt or small stones, and air dry them. Store them in a clean, dry place so that the metal parts last longer. If they are worn or defective, it is worth visiting a Transa store, where you can get advice or find replacements

. Many brands are increasingly focusing on sustainable manufacturing, durable designs, and repairability. The more robust the material, the longer your spikes will last you through the winter.
