Common Questions for Using Strap On Crampons

• Q: What footwear sizes will these strap on crampons fit?
  A: They fit most regular hiking boots and shoes from US size 6 to 13.5. Wider footwear above US size 11 may not fit securely, so check the fit before your trip.
• Q: Where should these 10-tooth crampons be used?
  A: They are suited to snow walking, lower-angle hiking and winter routes where snow or ice is expected. They should not be treated as technical climbing equipment for steep ice or terrain beyond your training.
• Q: How should I adjust the crampons?
  A: Use the included hex key to adjust the centre bar and front and rear sections until the crampons fit snugly around your boots without gaps or loose components.
• Q: How tight should the straps be?
  A: Tighten the toe and heel straps enough to hold the crampons securely, but do not overstretch the TPU sections. Recheck the position and strap tension after you begin walking.
• Q: How should I walk while wearing crampons?
  A: Take short and controlled steps, keep your feet slightly wider apart and place your feet flat. Do not run, jump, slide or cross your feet.
• Q: What are the fitting, care and safety instructions?
  A: Read the Capricorn Strap-on Crampons Instructions PDF before use.
  
• Q: How should the crampons be cleaned and stored?
  A: Rinse away dirt, snow and ice after use, dry the crampons thoroughly and store them in a cool, dry place. Pack the pair with the teeth facing each other to protect the straps and other gear.
• Q: Can I wear them over rocks or gravel?
  A: Avoid walking over rocks, gravel, vegetation and other hard surfaces because these can damage the points or cause a slip.
