Do these work on very steep, slippery descents? I need grip on descents that will be either loose slippery gravel, or mud if it has rained.

Get the Hillsound Trail Crampon Pro set. You will have better results on the descent. These spikes are better for walking on ice rather than gravel. The Pro crampons have larger, more aggressive spikes that face forward and will allow you to sink the front of your feet right into the terrain.

Honestly, I got them in the Spring and plan to use them this Fall/Winter in Idaho and Alaska. But they look better than previously owned crampons I've owned. Their primary function is ice (and that's what I'm using them for). I suppose if the mud/gravel wasn't too deep then they would work. But these are primarily for walking on icy trails or streets. Cheers!

Yes I wore them in the rain since I was walking on muddy grounds even in the Spring complete with my gaters. Might have looked weird but kept me upright on unstable wet uneven sloped ground, that had no grass. Really worked fanstic and would give them 5 Stars not just for snow.

Yes, and they are great for going down hill. I am not really strong but managed my 180# husband with hand controls. Love them.

Wouldn't work on gravel, going down hills it may work well if its smooth top should be fine.

to be honest... I never had the mudlite ats...in any deep mud bogs! tho these new ones are great.. I would say they are almost a mix of mud and grass tires ...smooth on any surface..yet will go thru any thing

Sure. They will work in sand, mud, or snow. Anywhere you need to establish some traction and get your wheels moving a bit without spinning.

I have a class C motor home and have used them on gravel and packed dirt without an issue. They might sink a bit in softer sand.

Not sure the severity of your paralyzation, and I wouldn't want to guess how much stability you'd need and if these would be enough. May want to pull them up on your phone and show your doc or physical therapist and see what they say. I can say they are very stable for hiking purposes, and I've had no issues. They have supported my full weight while descending or jumping over rocks or steams before. There are a few different attachments, and I think the basic ones would be best for asphalt. Just a tip, although I have enjoyed these, I saw a pair at Costco right now that was carbon fiber and half the price with just as many attachments that I would look into if I were getting them again. Worth checking out. Good luck with your rehab.

I have used it on grass and dirt but you have to be careful and go slow. I would not try to use it on medium rocks or rough trails. The danger is in tipping over.

You could probably make them work on gravel but it would need to be very flat and even. If it is sloped I wouldn't use them.

These are felt bottom boots designed to grip river rocks. They don't work well in mud which I am assuming you will be encountering hunting

These tires certainly fit nicely on your first THREE requirements (primarily road, fast rolling, and strong :-) , but the tires do lack any meaningful tread pattern as they were not designed for off road or turf conditions. That said, as long as the dirt is packed down and dry, I have been able to occasionally hit the dirt, but of course don't push these in corners because lack of knobs.cheers, Joe T

They will only work on the incline of the stable...they won't work on a flat surface...they are really cute and I hope this answers your question. Thanks

Standard. Mountain bike cleats will work.... However, my advice would be to spend more on better quality brand name pedals. These are roughly made and a good cleat will work just as well in the mud as when it's new.... These are not great quality.

Any bike will pull them when attached but work best on hard surfaces like road trails or runways. Not good on mountain trails that are narrow and rough surfaces (rocky or loose dirt or rock) or a lot of oscillation.

They have traction bars on them. And the angles are not steep. Unless they are completely wet, they're fine.

They are pretty stiff. I have been climbing steep hills with them. Skidding would be a little more stressful but I think they would be stiff enough.

They are great travel tires, but have a slight resistance to rolling. The best use would be for someone that rides pavement in rain frequently, since they have freakish grip in the rain. Try out Vittoria's Randonneur Pro or the newer replacement tire, they are much faster rolling and I found them to have better grip on gravel and dirt. Very plush ride, and they cost about half as much :o
