Only comes with one
by B.T. Frank (3 out of 5 stars)

Maybe it was the fact that the name of the item is plural, maybe it was the price, maybe it was the fact that most humans have two feet...but I thought I was paying for two of these. And at almost $16, that would make sense (especially given the fact that it's just a piece of hard plastic). But no, just one. I mean, it's a solid piece of gear, but I never would have spent $16 if I knew I was only getting one of these.

As is, this thing is dangerous to your opponent as well as to your foot.
by Wei Y. (3 out of 5 stars)

The base of this device should be increased in surface area significantly, such as to 1.75" x 2.5". Otherwise you have too small a surface area concentrating too much impact force on the top of your foot, an area which in general should not be subjected to that kind of force to begin with. 1.75" width would allow the device to sit on the outside ridge of the shoe (where the lace loops are) instead of directly on the tongue, which would help to distribute the force of the impact onto the shoe itself instead of onto the tongue and significantly mitigate the chance of your delicate foot bones sustaining damage.

Good basic

Just put them on your boots and forget about them. You can barely see them on the ones I have them on, they are laced in & stay there just as a back up. This order only contains one, but most of us have a dominant leg, so that's fine. Obviously if you wanted one on each foot, you can just order two.

The angle of the holes isn't great, they should be like loops so your laces can go through them, otherwise it's a production to take your boots on & off. Mine are just held on by being wedged in & the laces figure 8 over the spikes, but it would be more secure if the design were better on that end.

Peace of Mind
by westlady,Top Contributor: Coloring (5 out of 5 stars)

I almost gave these only 4 stars, because they come separately, instead of in sets of 2, like shoes do. They do not look that discreet to me, but I figure feet are not what people look at when they are trying to see what move you might make in a self-defense situation, which is what I got this for. I find the peace of mind of knowing you have a little surprise help at your beck and call to be worth a LOT, so I am glad to have one. I will now get another for the other shoe....maybe more. I like the idea of having something unexpected that WILL hurt someone in situations where you need to do that. If you don't think you can really full on commit to hurting an attacker, don't get these. But if you are willing to do what you gotta do, these will be useful. I recommend also the ones you can use as s ring, to scratch someone's face too. If you have to defend yourself, every edge you have will help you.

Simple, affordable, and effective
by David Bachman (5 out of 5 stars)

They're simple, they're easy to put into place, they're easy to use (if you can kick with your instep, then there you go), and they really don't attract anyone's attention, especially if you're wearing black shoes (they just blend right in visually). The only gripe I have is that the somewhat sharp, pointy tips are something you need to be wary of in everyday life, as more than once I've uncomfortably poked or scratched myself with them while putting my shoes on/taking them off or if I tuck a foot under myself while sitting in a chair. They kind of snag on things sometimes, and again they're kind of pokey, so be careful around playful pets or kids or whatever.

Otherwise, these are something you can easily put on your jogging shoes and have immediately at the ready for defense against aggressive dogs or humans. Likewise, you could always wear these if you go to the bar and you either can't legally or just don't want to carry something like pepper spray or whatever as insurance against rowdy drunks.

Non magnetic makes it easy to pass scans
by charles pratt (5 out of 5 stars)

Discreet and always deployed, with black boots and black laces they are invisible. Non magnetic makes it easy to pass scans...about what an old man needs...kick em in the shin and run away!

Damned expensive at $15 for one

These go well with the Tec Stinger in each hand
by reviewer (4 out of 5 stars)

I wouldn't mind these being a bit smaller so they are less visible because I think even at half there size they would still hurt.

They are made of super tough plastic and the tip is sharp. Unlike the picture shows, you can lace the show or boot laces through the holes in the kuba kickz for a much stronger hold to the shoe.

These give me more confidence that my kicks will do damage even on a slipping blow, so these are nice confidence boosters. But I wouldn't kick someone in a vital place with these unless they had a gun or knife and even at that I would try to put down and secure the opponent rather then try to end their life. One thing I learned from being in the ring, you don't have to hurt the opponent too badly, just make them submit and that's usually enough to defuse the situation, unless the attackers crazy.

If you want to make these less visible, you can grind them down a little bit so they're less noticeable but still dangerous.

Cool idea. Not sure how useful though
by Michael (4 out of 5 stars)
January 7, 2015

It's pretty dang cool. Not sure how effective they would be but if you give someone a roundhouse kick im sure it would hurt a little bit more, but I would normally attempt to kick somebody with the shin (as is normal and good form) and im not even sure most people would kick another person in a life or death situation, but you can't blame the company for that. It's a pretty innovative product which I think would work (in theory at least) and I don't think I "regret" the purchase. However, god knows if i'll ever really use these things (hopefully I never need to of course) and i'd honestly sell them a bit cheaper as more of a novelty self defense item.

Get strike spikes instead. They're steel and sharp. These are plastic and dull

These are great!
by A Mom in Mass (5 out of 5 stars)

We use these on running shoes and hiking boots. They would really hurt someone on the receiving end of a kick. Once you tie/lace them onto your shoes, you don't have to think about them again -- which means you don't have to remember to bring them... they are always at the ready. Haven't had to "use" them yet, but we feel more confident running and hiking with these. Admittedly, they are a bit $$$ for a small plastic item.
