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. they provide very good grip. I've never had an issue with slippage. Even when soaking from sweat.

I have used them now on several types of surfaces from grass to crushed stone and smaller gravel to sand and feel they are a great leveling system. When I use them on a softer surface I make sure to over level to allow for them to settle a bit. One negative is the slippery surface of the wedge part that can allow the two pieces to slip a little but I am going to add some traction tape to them to stop that from happening. So far I am very satisfied and find it a simple and easy way to level my 27 foot travel trailer correct the first try. Hope this helps.

They are great on anything slippery, snow, ice, slimmy rocks, mud. They really work.

Slippery isn't the word that I'd use. They would certainly allow you to slide easier than say, cloth seats, but if you're right arm is going to be immobile, then these may not be for you (they tend to bunch up under your legs when you first get into the vehicle, requiring a bit of adjusting / maneuvering. The reason for this is that there is no attachment on the lower end, it just hangs there...I've thought that they could be improved with a bit of elastic or Velcro. At any rate, best of luck.

They work well in dirt as well as gravel areas/unlevel ground areas. My sister and brother-in-law (recipients of this gift) use the Lynx Levelers on every trip for their 28' travel trailer.

I would say these would not work for your purpose. You won't definitely won't get a true bounce in spots as you dribble. Also if you were to take a dive or trip and fall, the grippers on top would tear your skin up something serious. I'd rather fall on smooth concrete or tar. YMMV, but as a basketball player myself, I know these wouldn't 'cut it' for me.

I couldn't say for sure as I cannot speak from experience, but I'd imagine they would work just fine. They have great grip, even when wet. And I occasionally ride with combat boots.

I have yet to use these in Snow. I have used them on frozen ground and frozen mud, they worked fine. Ice is a challenge for any tire on any vehicle. You need chains for ice.

Rubber slips on rocks and stuff when wet and slimy. Wading boots with felt bottoms or aluminum grips/spikes don't slip easliy

No they don't have any tred for traction but, you can buy rubber tracking pads for shoes and apply it to the bottoms with a strong waterproof adhesive glue.

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

They are not climbing crampons, but do attach firmly to your boot. They worked very well in icy/muddy conditions, throw in loose gravel you have an added difficulty, but these are the best I have found.

I used them upside down before and they didn't scrape. I use the inserts mostly for hills.

They hold up fine on gravel but they are more loose when it comes to traction

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

I way about 230 and have had these steps on my Dodge for about 6 months now. They have held up through some rough and tough stuff. Go mudding, have gotten stuck where my frame was actually resting on the steps themselves. You won't have any problem at all.
