Gear Review: La Sportiva A.T. Grip Hobnail Kit

Steve Regenold just reviewed the $40 A.T. Grip Hobnail Kit, which allows runners to screw spikes into their running shoes for extra traction. “The hobnails are made to work on shoes with fairly thick soles and tread lugs. They could screw straight through the sole if you’re not watching. This potential scenario made my favorite trail runners, a thin-sole Inov-8 model, not candidate for the spike add-ons. But with the Ultranords, which are a mid-weight, waterproof trail shoe, the hobnail kit did not disappoint.” From Outside Online.
