Has anyone tried both the Kahtoola Microspikes AND Kahtoola KTS Steel Cleats? How do they compare for anti-slip grip and durability? The Microspikes are obviously lighter and I'm certain less durable, and they would grip less well with fewer and shorter teeth, but I'm wondering how much less durable and how much less grippy.
Hoping to pick up one of these options soon and try them out in the Adirondaks.
Also, any sizing advice for both?
I've asked this question in this thread I started, but no one has had experience with both the MicroSpikes and KTS Steel Cleats. Here's the thread for those interested in reading related feedback on the MicroSpikes, YakTrax, Stabilicers and DIY Screw Shoes:

It was originally entitled: "Anyone use Yaktrax, Yaktrax Pro or Stabilicers for traction on relatively flat trails? Light crampons?" I've just tried editing it and changing the title to: "Anyone use Kahtoola KTS Steel Cleats, MicroSpikes, Yaktrax, Yaktrax Pro or Stabilicers for traction on trails? Light crampons?" to reflect the inclusion of the Kahtoola MicroSpikes and KTS Steel Cleats.
