Using the Blitz Spike Traction Device is a breeze. Just put your foot through the webbing toe loop and secure the heel with the heel webbing loop. It's designed to fit snugly and stay in place during your adventures. When you're done, simply remove it from your shoes. As for maintenance, after each use, it's a good idea to clean the spikes and the elastomer parts with a soft brush and mild soap. Let it dry completely before storing it. Also, make sure to check the spikes regularly for any signs of excessive wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it might be time to replace the device. And remember, this traction device is mainly for snow, ice, and rocky terrains, so don't use it on very smooth or non - appropriate surfaces to avoid damage to the spikes or the device itself.
