Using the Black Diamond Distance Spike Traction Device is easy. First, make sure you pick the right size according to the size guide. Slip the device onto your shoe and use the heel webbing loop to secure it well. It'll help you identify the heel part and make it easier to put on and take off. When you're out on the trail, these spikes will give you great grip on snow, ice, rocks, and hard surfaces. Just run as you normally would and enjoy the stability and traction. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the device with water to remove any dirt or debris. Let it dry completely before storing it. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or chemicals, as this could damage the elastomer and the spikes. Keep it in a cool, dry place, and it'll serve you well for many runs to come.
