Review for model:

For four days, I used size L on icy trails in the Tatra Mountains. The crampons seem durable, the rubber is thick, fits the shoe well and doesn’t move, and after several hours of use I didn’t need to adjust anything. The metal parts are also solid – even after walking on rocks, I haven’t noticed any damage so far. They are especially effective on steep ascents. It’s important to choose the right size for your shoe as recommended by the manufacturer, because they are not adjustable. The Velcro strap provides extra stability and doesn’t come undone, but it won’t compensate for the wrong size. The price could be lower – I bought a similar model much cheaper at another sports shop a week earlier. Maybe the higher price is due to the sturdy and lightweight case included with the product. As usual, lightning-fast delivery from Militaria.pl – I placed the order in the evening, and by midday the next day it was ready for collection in the parcel locker in Zakopane.

The product is solidly made, it gives the impression of being very durable and I hope it will not let me down. The spikes are quite strong and should provide good grip on ice and hard snow.

I bought the crampons in a hurry after a failed order on Allegro. I wanted anything that would give me stability on the trail, and I got a really solid product. The L model fits perfectly on my Salewa boot (size 43). The rubber, even after several hours of being stretched tight, did not lose its elasticity, and the spikes held well during steep ascents and descents. I also walked on hard ground, and the spikes – apart from slight scratches, which is normal – look like new. If I damage them in the future, I will definitely reach for this model again.
