Ice Cleats for Artic Pro's

I’m looking for recommendations for a good pair of ice cleats for my sz. 13 Muck Artic Pros..Yes, I know I have big feet. For smaller Columbia boots I’ve used the Yaktraks with decent success. But they just don’t stay on the shape of the Arctic Pros as well.Also the thinner pieces of rubber like to snap when pulling them on in cold temps. I’m also looking for something a little more aggressive traction-wise than the springs. Any suggestions on brands and/or types that have worked well for large sized boots with bigger profiles?

Try these, you’ll love them. Yaktrax are junk.

Try the kahtoola microspikes my friend uses them with his artic muck boots also an love them. I also use the same spikes just don’t walk into the gas station with them on.

Screw in 5/16 sheet metal screws.

I second the kahtoola’s I have used them for three seasons and have not had an issue. I have used them on a few different style boots and don’t rember ever having one fall off.

A little off subject but how do you like the Muck Arctic Pros so far? I just picked up a pair over the weekend.

I have the same boots, except their 15’s. I wear kahtoola. Nothing better.

Kahtoola or Hillsound. I have the Hillsound and love them.

Do not get the trail pros, they will not stay on your boot if you kneel down and bend your toe at a sharp angle

Thanks everyone! Brad- I thought about that, but I don’t want to make them a permanent fixture on the boot, as I wear them for lots of other things… I’ll check out the kahtoolas! Especially if fishblood has a size 15, and they stay on! I have to imagine that the profile in mucks are waaaay bigger in size 15 and still stay on! Cp3, I absolutely love them! They are by far the warmest boots I’ve ever owned! Plus the fact that they’re mid-calf and waterproof was a huge selling point. There’s almost no chance water or snow can get in there now, especially when you put the bibs over them and secure the Velcro cuff tightly. The only issue I’ve had- (and it’s probably more in relation to my foot sizing) is that my right foot is just a little smaller, which causes a little heel rubbing. I only notice it after long distance walks, and I’m still trying to find a solution to it. I’m thinking of trying to put a piece of moleskin attached to the boot in the heel area to make it fit a little tighter. But even with that issue, I’d still rather wear them than any other boot I have! I’m sure you’ll love yours! This will be my 3rd season with them, and have no issues with cracking or even spidering of the rubber yet.

I just checked their website- does the XL size fit your size 15 or did you find a xxl? Just curious on how I should order them? It says XL is for up to 13.5, but with that bigger profile, should I be trying to look for a xxl?

Xl. That’s the biggest they make. I called them last year and asked for a bigger size to be manufactured… Nope.

They will work for you without a doubt.
