I'll start by listing its flaws, if you're an in-between size and cant work out which you need, buy small, my first pair were slightly too large and slipped on my shoes; not enough to cause an accident but enough to make for some interesting moments on steep slopes, plus even with the right size the back can be the tiniest bit loose in side to side movement so be careful walking across slopes. That said...For the price I was expecting something much lower quality, what I got was a pair of great, quick to put on shoe spikes, I used these on a recent trip to the lake district where I found they're ideal for steep slopes of wet grass or loose dirt, they provided that extra bit of traction and rigidity that had me climbing easier in a pair of approach shoes than my friends in a pair of B2 climbing boots; plus so long as you buy the right size they're good on rocks too.In short if you're going to be sliding about in regular boots but the conditions aren't right for a full pair of crampons these will do the job and maybe save you from getting too personal with the local dirt.Plus I have no idea what that Velcro strap is for, its far too short to go round ankles, over the shoe or anywhere it would be useful for securing the crampon, answers on the back of a postcard.

These crampons are a great addition to anyone's mountain climbing or winter hiking gear and the cost is one tenth of those in the sports stores. So far I've used them twice on a semi icy-semi snowy terrain and they were pretty stable. The design is very lightweight and with the 18 teeth, I felt pretty secure while breaking into ice or walking on snow. These crampons have contacts made of durable stainless steel and are easy to put on so I think they would last for quite some time and perfect for an occasional hiker like myself. Overall very happy with the purchase as they fitted me at EU 45 / UK 10.5 for the LARGE model.

I'm just back from Iceland and when walking around these were a lifesaver. Helping us to grip the ground when others were skating around and falling over. Really useful for when going to see the Geysers and waterfalls, don't set off without some of these.Unfortunately, we bought two pairs and whilst my wife didn't have an issue, the plastic hoop on one of mine broke the second time I used it.I've increased the review from 3 to 4 stars as the supplier contacted me proactively to offer a replacement.Great customer service, look forward to trying the product out again.

Great for the price. Give yourself that extra grip. These are not for climbing obviously but they do the job at certain level of ice/snow conditions. I also used them on a descent through a rocky stream and they were very stable on the wet stone without being overly carefull. Not much technique required. Probably that's where they have advantage over more advanced crampons. I gave them a good bashing on these rocky surfices and they remained solid without any bends/wear signs. They snowball a bit but hey, they are the most basic spikes you can get. Just whack it off and move along. They won't make you tea either.

They feel much sturdier than my last 2 pairs of crampons which broke after a few uses and work well in deep snow, mud or thick ice but the spikes are so big they hurt my feet if the ground is too solid and the Velcro straps are too small to use (although they fit fine without).

Worked very well on my walk today, and was what I expected ... Lightweight and effective.I could suggest that perhaps a little more lateral bracing needed at the FRONT, for the toes steer body. That is, the ‘diamond’ set beneath the toes and ball of the foot could benefit from an extra diagonal set crossways, to hold the side spikes more under the ‘edges’ of the foot.Nice item and good value, and the comment is simply to help you!I wear them because I walk alone and at 80+ good sense suggests that I am careful when in rough country away from roads

We bought these for a week long break in Iceland over Xmas, these are a must have for any trip where you may need to walk on ice, they slip on and off in seconds, size was perfect, wore for a few hours every day and still in perfect condition. Worth every penny for the security they give.

excellent set of grips to assist on snow and ice light weight easy to carry comes with a storage bag, can be worn with almost any shoe/boot, used recently on a snow ice covered mountain in the Scottish highlands.Although these are much easier to use they are no replacement for true mountain crampons but they do give you a little more confidence and work well on slippy rocks when crossing rivers streams.
