Everything is fine, but the steel on the spikes is too soft. When walking on just snow, everything is great and the chains didn’t break. But when walking on mixed terrain (some snow, some dirt/rock), the spikes bent and flattened (more than with other manufacturers’ models). If you plan to walk only on snow, the product is excellent.

Badger Outdoor Alpine shoe spikes are a really great choice if you need confidence that you can handle difficult, slippery winter conditions. Made from high-quality materials, they offer good grip on ice, snow, and mud, making walking on icy surfaces much safer. They protect your foot with solid, multi-directional spikes that hold the ground well, don’t slip, and provide stability even in the most demanding conditions. Thanks to their compact design, they are easy to put on and take off, and their lightweight does not overly burden the shoes, so you can comfortably wear them for longer periods. I recommend them to anyone who is heading to the mountains, winter expeditions, or just needs reliable spikes for everyday use in tough weather. Badger Outdoor Alpine is a dependable choice for winter days!

Overall, the crampons work as long as they are not broken. But they break very easily, the problem is with the chain and the plate which detached after literally a few steps. My friend for whom I also ordered a pair had the same situation. Before buying, I read reviews, so I took into account that these are crampons for beginners and shouldn't expect a long lifespan, but I didn't expect them to be rusty already the next day. As for the ordering process and delivery time, I have absolutely no complaints, everything was ideal in this respect. The crampons are for one-time use, and while they work on the trail, it's better to invest and buy higher quality pieces. Cheers.

For the price, these spikes are amazing, they've saved me quite a few times on winter trails, light in the backpack and very durable on shoes in the field. I recommend them to everyone for winter hikes.
-
The spikes fit on shoes size 43. The elastic rubber seems to fit other shoe sizes as well. I plan to use them in light snow conditions. I think it will be a good purchase for beginners.

Basic shoe spikes. If you plan to start your adventure with winter hiking, they are sufficient for the forest or an easy trail. Tested on a trail with snow about 10 cm deep, reaching about 50/60 cm closer to the summit. They allowed us to climb to 1200m above sea level and safely descend a much easier trail. On sections that were very steep and heavily snow-covered, they slipped a bit, so that was the limit of their capabilities. Still, I can’t imagine going up there without spikes. Ideal conditions for such spikes are ice or tightly packed, icy snow. Here they work perfectly. Tested on size 43, fit without much resistance, so they may be too loose for smaller sizes. One star less because during the hike a part connecting the spiked plate with the chain came undone. You can fix it with pliers, but I think it shouldn't happen. I recommend preserving with some grease/oil because steel parts will always rust, especially exposed to such conditions. In summary: for the forest, for an easy trail, for starting winter hiking – sufficient.

Very well made spikes. I have size 43 and they fit trekking shoes well. They sit sturdily on the sole, nothing is loose. Price is adequate for the quality. Tested a year ago in the Tatras, they do their job perfectly. Recommend!
-
I would rate the spikes as decent. During expeditions, they performed their task satisfactorily, improving traction, but I have several reservations. The size is supposedly universal, but on size 37 shoes they were much too loose. The plates the spikes are made of are not the strongest in the world and have already bent on me (especially on the heel). Also, I don’t know why, but after leaving them wet, rust appeared—so I’m not 100% convinced they are stainless.
-
They work well, easy and quick to put on. They barely fit on size 46 shoes, just barely. I think they're optimal up to size 45. Good purchase. They did their job and are still intact. Overall, solid and durable.
-
The crampons are not for professionals, but they are great as a backup option for mountain trips when the weather can surprise us. However, if you go in more wintry conditions in the mountains, it's better to invest in others.
-
Well made, fit the shoe perfectly, they don't move. Definitely worth recommending for people going to the mountains. The price matches the quality.
-
It's better to have crampons with you in winter. I use them not just for walking in valleys or mountains, but also on frozen sidewalks or road shoulders. They fit size 45 shoes. I recommend them.
-
You probably won't conquer high mountains with this equipment, but for winter trips in the lower parts or snowy valleys, they may be useful. They will also be useful in the city when winter surprises road workers. A big plus is how easy they are to put on.
-
Simple, easy to use and solidly made. The whole family is equipped. You need to pay attention to the size range. The equipment is very useful for winter trips anywhere nearby.
-
Very high-quality crampons. This is truly a very useful thing in the winter. They attach to footwear easily and hold well. They perform their function 100%. I recommend them.
