- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021These are the real deal! There are cheap copies out there that snap the first time you wear them. These are much more durable and are high quality. The prongs look blunt but actually have 4 smaller sharp tips on each prong made to penetrate upon impact. Best worn with boots in my opinion, or shoes with a padded tung. ** USE ONLY FOR SELF DEFENSE!! THESE WILL DO DAMAGE!** Nice, simple, affordable way to protect yourself. More colors would be cool.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015Tested in some altercations. They work well. Quality product.
Pros: They do fair damage. Good for lighter distracting blows to the lower legs and especially kneecaps. More powerful strikes are possible to do greater damage. On hard surfaces most of the return energy is distributed and padding under the laces takes care of most of that. They're longer and increase reach so you can get more and better result from quick and otherwise not damaging kicks. Not bad for stand up grappling and can aid in controlling opponent.
Cons: Higher kicks get bound in jean and other trouser material. They can do more damage than intended to soft tissues. Because they're longer, they seem to be intended more for striking. The length combined with the narrow base give you less leverage and you have to rely more on pain compliance which doesn't always work for certain types of opponents.
On the whole, they're hard and tough and the design make them fairly damaging. Be sure that you need them for that purpose. As a self-defense product they're very good. A strike to a soft area in the lower extremities, typically the groin, will certainly do some damage and cause pain in a much more efficient manner than shoes alone.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015First of all, SELF DEFENSE ONLY, if you want to go around hurting people with these for fun, seek help.
I put these on my boots and spray painted them tan, so they kind of "blend" well. All I can say is, you really need to do a sidesweep type of Karate kick for these to be effective if the laces on your boots, like on mine, are so high that you'll try to be making contact with your assailant's leg (or whatever) with the upper part of your foot which arguably is harder (and takes longer to set up for that type of kick) than doing a quick front kick.
Now, that's not to say this product is flawed, it does the job, it WILL hurt, but at least for now my concern is, it's really the fact that my boots are not designed like the ones in the photo which are closer to the toes, and I'm no karate master, but it's simple to realize that when you try to kick someone, you're more apt to make contact with the lower part of your foot and perhaps your toes, as opposed to the area closer to your ankle; whether that's "bad form" or not, I can't be the judge, but trying to use these on a tree, I found myself actually being brought back to Tae Kwan Do class and using my hips to put more force into the kick in order to make the desired contact: kubakickz --> tree. Why I'm saying this at all is, I feel we all (even we former martial artists - white/yellow belts highest level included) we revert to doing "lazier" kicks outside of the dojo, especially in a tight situation, close quarters; if an assailant is coming after you, how much time do you really have to get into a proper stance and do a "hip twist powered kick?" I can see myself kicking an assailant but I don't seeing myself (or the assailant letting me) get into a karate stance before he slashes my throat. So what's the alternative, a front kick? That would negate having the kubakickz at all because I'd be making contact with the soles or the tip of the boot.
In the end, I'll give these 4 stars because if you have the time to set up and get a kick in with these, full force, right in the sweet spot of where these kubakickz are on your boot, you WILL DO DAMAGE to your assailant, and I think that's the main point. My point is, if your laces are higher up on your shoe/boot than normal, you might not have the ability to even use these in a life or death situation and still you might in a split second think "let me try these kubakicks" and try to effectuate some sort of kick with them and fail because you wasted precious milliseconds on setting up to do some sort of "good formed" kick augmented with these things. At least that was my first impression when I put them on my boot (as low as possible) and remembered how seldom my Yellow Belt Tae Kwan Do training helped me when I was in fights in the past and had to defend myself any which way I could, but that's the rub, what's most likely to happen, I just don't see myself getting in the types of "kicks" I'd need to use in my next sticky situation to actually stop my assailant before he gets in his shots.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021Disclaimer: check your local laws regarding weighted/blunt weapons.
This item is great in its base form. The price is a bit sus but the good thing is that you only need two (unless you want to deck out ALL your footwear). If you want to add more kinetic force to your kicks, simply buy a six-pack of egg or bullet-shaped fishing sinkers ( I forgot the size, just take one of the kickz with you to compare). Get them in your choice of metal: lead, steel or tungsten. Next, partly fill the cavities with clear, outdoor silicone; then add the weight into the cavity and seal with another layer of silicone. Wipe the excess (don’t worry about making a mess—no one’s gonna see the underside). Let it cure for at least 24 hours. That’s it! Right now, I’m looking for a 1/8” rubber/neoprene sheet to add to the bottom to protect my tarsals. That’s the only drawback of this device. I would trim it a little wider to give more protective surface area. Then I’d drill holes using the pre existing ones as guides. Overall, a great piece and even better when upgraded.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2014Only reason I give it 3 stars is that it is really tall. It sticks out away from the shoe considerably and is quite noticeable. I painted mine to match shoe color but you can still tell from a decent distance away. I've seen another offering on the market from TAC Defense that is a better implementation of this idea. To be clear though, these are very effective and work exactly as expected. They're just not great for everyday use which is why I got them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very strong and probably very painful
I haven't had to use these, and hopefully I never will, but I feel confident that if I do, they will do the job just fine. I pressed them into my own skin just to have a feel, and even that light effort hurt, so I can only imagine when they feel like launched with force into someone's shin or groin!
I have them laced into my walking boots. Just having them on me makes me feel a bit safer and less helpless when out and about by myself. The clear colour is actually very noticeable, so I just 'painted' them with a black magic marker. Voila! Hardly noticeable now on my boots. If I can get a hold of another set (a lot of American products are hard to get in the UK, and/or super expensive), I will buy them for another pair of shoes so I don't have to unlace and relace when I want to wear different shoes.
I recommend that every woman have at least one pair of these!

Very nice and lightwueight but I feel like you got a weave your shoelace through the holes and through the spikes around the spikes to really get them to fit on your shoe firmly without them rocking side to side or up and down and that also has a little bit of additional padding to your foot cuz if you kick something with these on it will kind of hurt it's something that you should get used to but whatever you're hitting feel that pain a hundred times more
