Badger Outdoor Alpine Crampons - Black

Generally, the crampons do their job as long as they don't break. Unfortunately, they break very quickly – the problem is the chain and the plate, which came off after just a few steps. My friend, who also bought them, had the same issue. I read reviews before buying and was aware these are more for beginners, but I didn't expect them to start rusting after just one day. As for order and delivery – everything went smoothly. The crampons are good for a one-time outing, but it's better to invest in a more durable model. All the best!

For the price, these mini-crampons are great—they’ve saved me more than once on a winter trail. They’re lightweight in a backpack and very durable during hikes. I recommend them to anyone for winter trips.

The crampons fit size 43 shoes. The elastic rubber also seems suitable for other sizes. I plan to use them in light snow conditions. I think it will be a good purchase for a start.

Basic crampons for shoes. If you want to start your adventure with winter tourism, they are suitable for forest paths or easy trails at first. I tested them in snow about 10 cm deep, and nearer the summit even 50/60 cm. Thanks to them, I safely climbed to 1,200 metres above sea level and descended via an easier trail. On very steep and icy ascents they slipped a bit, so that's their limit. Still, I can't imagine such a climb without crampons. They work best on ice or well-packed, slippery snow. Tested on size 43 and they were fine, so they might be too loose on smaller feet. I’m deducting one star because, during the walk, the element connecting the plate and the chain came undone – you can repair it with pliers, but this shouldn’t happen. It's worth looking after the steel parts, as they can rust in such conditions. In summary: good for forests and easy trails, perfect for starting out in winter hiking.

Very well-made crampons. I have size 43 and they fit trekking shoes well. They fit perfectly on the sole and do not move around. The price is adequate for the quality. I tested them a year ago in the Tatras – they perform their function excellently. Recommended!

I rate these mini-crampons as average. During trips, they did their job by improving grip, but I have a few comments. The size is supposedly universal, but on size 37 shoes they were definitely too loose. The plates with spikes are not very durable and have already bent (especially at the heel). After leaving them wet, rust appeared—so I’m not confident about their resistance to corrosion.

They work well, are easy to put on, but barely fit on size 46 shoes – best suited for up to size 45. It was a good purchase; they did their job and are still fully functional. Overall, durable and sturdy.

These are not really crampons for professionals, but they are great as a spare for mountain hikes when the weather can change. For those hiking in more demanding, winter conditions, it's worth considering a more expensive model.

Well made, they fit the shoe excellently and do not slip. Definitely worth recommending for those planning mountain trips. The price is adequate for the quality.

It’s worth carrying crampons with you in winter. I use them not just in the mountains or valleys, but also on icy pavements and roadsides. They fit size 45 shoes. Recommended.

I probably won’t go into high mountains with them, but for winter walks in lower areas or snow-covered valleys they’re fine. They’ll also work in the city during a typical winter and sudden ice. The biggest plus is how easy they are to put on.

Simple, easy to put on and sturdy. I equipped the whole family with them. Pay attention to the size. Great for winter trips to nearby places.

Very good quality mini-crampons. Really useful in winter. Assembly is simple and they fit securely on boots. They perform their task well. I recommend them.

The build quality is decent for the price. The mini-crampons are supposed to fit sizes 36-45, but on AKU shoes size 38 they’re too loose, and the spikes from the heel are in the middle of the shoe. The real size range is probably 40-45. Apart from that, no complaints.

Mini-crampons purchased. I was worried they wouldn't fit large feet, but everything is fine. They adhere well to shoes. No problems at all. You can both walk and run in them. Karkonosze conquered!
