    I came here after finding out people have been trying to climb mount everest when they had no idea how to put on crampons.

    The micro spikes are useful for crossing a frozen car park, walking the dog maybe, but as a trail spike you have to be kidding. Insteps should be intemediary choice.

    I bought some but I couldn’t get the sizing right. The back of my foot wasn’t lined up with the back of the crampon and I had trouble trying to adjust them or size them to my boot. Could be a good tutorial video.

      no crampons are made for ice. they have almost no grip on rocks and you'd just be ruining them. why'd you want crampons? perhaps theres a better thing to get like quality boots or something
