After all the worn out and dog hair impregnated Velcro on various gear from my snowmaking and ski patrol years I just never went there for spikes. Still use old school straps

Appreciation of all the input here as I tried them in some Hemlocks today , there is JUST enough contact to the heel so the lower strap has to be tight enough , one slipped off the heel today when I was done and on my way down so no big deal.

Great Success , works good ...

To do this without spending Shekels is best scenario ... Just luck I have the Hoffman's , with good socks are by far the warmest Winter Boots I've ever owned (Makes Sorel's weak and a waste of money by comparison) so I hope it works. (Have a friend with a foot injury quite similar to Ger's ...

... this reminds me of when Butch tried Climbing in shorts and soccer pads (may not work) ... Any other cold weather climbers ever try their Pac Boots (Sorels , ect.) Spike Climbing ?. My Wesco's suck in the winter for comfort but I need a good boot w heel to lock in my Spikes. Thinking of...
