want to buy spikes

It only took me one time to realize how important that wrap is. Tricky adjustment without a high TIP.

I only do it when the strap is too long.

I didn't notice any diff one way or the other, but a lot of climbers swear by the wrap.

I think it's all in their head.

The important thing is tightness.
 
After I started wearing highliner boots when spurclimbing, I don't even feel the need for that strap to ba so tight.
The deep heel and narrow instep makes the spurs stay in place really well.
If for some reason I have to climb in my Haix forestry boots, I tighten the hell out of that strap.
 
I'm I missing something? I never wrap around shaft,just around angle?Might have to start new thread.
 
I don't. Just tight. No problem.
Now, I have noticed that different boots require me a different hole in the hasp. So maybe if I had a boot that a wrap worked better for me....... but so far, not necessary.
So long as I have a good heel and a deep instep, she stays right.
 
I almost always climb in hiking boots, and find that wrapping the shanks causes the Spurs to slip past the short heel. Still can't figure out why
 
I always wrap the shank...Stephen can you point me in the right direction for 'angled shin cup pads with straps?' Ta

Here's a link to the webpage those pads are on. Sixth set of items down from the top, I think. No individual link for the particular item, other than the photo, possibly. When I tried to view the photo it was taking forever, like it might be a bad link.

Here's the link to the entire page: http://www.wesspur.com/Spurs/spur-pads.html
