Crampons that fit wide heel boots

by dexhiker, Verified Owner from MA, United States Updated on January 25, 2020

I had been looking for some time to find crampons that would fit on my size 13 wide heeled 400 gram winter boots. For this boot size most crampons would not work since the boot would sit too far forward on the crampon heel and then would come off under certain conditions.

Perfect for me!

The perfect trail crampons

by Michelle N., from OR, United States Updated on July 2, 2017

These crampons are the best bang for your buck. I day hiked up 5,000 ft. of elevation in pure snow with these and they worked great! The only thing is that if you're hiking up some steep icy slope you can't rely on the tow spikes to get you up it as much as heavier duty crampons will...but that's why they're called trail crampons.
