These DO NOT fall off and have awesome traction. My shoes are size 12, so the ones I ordered are snug. So snug that my boots bend when they’re not on my feet. That’s why they don’t fall off I guess. They’re great though. Would recommend.

That's what I thought... I actually opened the package in the store and tried them on with my workboots... I got the XL as the Titans are more like moon boots... I'm still going to have a look at the dollarama pair out of curiosity

That way the screw hole will be fully open and only ever contract when you straighten the boot back out... Just a thought. And another thought would be looking into using whatever the motorcycle guys use for ice racing... Those things bite like crazy!

I used those screws actually. Kold Kutter Screws.

Maybe the flexing would help, but stnad alone quality spikes are def worth it now that ive used them.

A slip and fall is gonna cost me alot in lost work and will take me outta fishing for a bit. >$50 for decent cleats is worth it. IMO

They use spikes. Here you go (maybe this can help someone building their own cleats):

Lol well ya if you want can sharpen some screws like this guy and go right through the soles of your boots, but i imagine you would end up with cold wet feet.

These are the ones that they sell for racing and come in 3/8"
