Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between pocket crampons, crampon studs, and crampon spikes?

• Pocket crampons (ice and snow grips): Lightweight and easy to put on, offering basic traction for light snow or icy conditions on trails.
• Crampon studs: Replaceable metal studs that screw into compatible boots for improved grip on moderate snow and ice.
• Crampon spikes: Similar to crampon studs, but might be pre-attached to a small frame for easier installation on boots. They might offer slightly more traction than individual studs.

Are crampons necessary for all winter hiking? Not necessarily. Crampons are crucial for steeper, icy terrain or packed snow. For well-maintained winter trails with light snow cover, traction devices like pocket crampons or basic studs might suffice.

How do I choose the right traction device for my winter hike? Consider the terrain difficulty, expected snow/ice conditions, and your comfort level. Pocket crampons are easiest to use but offer less traction. Studs or spikes provide more grip but require compatible boots.

Do your crampons fit all types of boots?

• Pocket crampons: Likely designed for a universal fit with straps or elastic closures to fit most shoes or boots.
• Crampon studs & spikes: Compatibility depends on the specific product and your boot soles. Look for descriptions mentioning compatible boot types or features like universal stud holes.

Are crampons difficult to put on and take off? Pocket crampons are designed for easy use. Studs and spikes might require some practice for screwing them into boots.

How much traction do crampon studs/spikes offer compared to full crampons? Studs and spikes provide improved grip but don't offer the same level of security and stability as full crampons on challenging terrain.

Can I use crampons or shoe spikes for mountaineering? No, pocket crampons, studs, and spikes are not suitable for technical mountaineering. They are designed for light hiking or walking on moderate snow and ice. For mountaineering, use proper, 10-point crampons designed for steeper slopes and icy conditions.

How do I care for my crampons or shoe spikes?

• Refer to the product care instructions or our website for specific recommendations.
• Generally, clean them with water after use and store them dry to prevent rust.

Do your crampons or shoe spikes come with a carrying case? Look for details in the descriptions. Some crampons and spikes might include a storage pouch for easy transport.

What other winter traction options do you offer besides crampons and shoe spikes? We might offer additional winter traction devices like snow boots with built-in traction or gaiters for keeping snow out of your boots. Browse our website or contact us at gokyo@gokyo.in for the full selection.
