FITS MY SIZE 14 BOOT AND WOULD PROBABLY GO 16 AFTER THE EXTENDER
BOUGHT A PAIR FROM A COMPETITOR BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER. WOULD NOT FIT MY SIZE 14 BOOT. I ORDERED THIS BLACK DIAMOND CRAMPON AND THE EXTENSION BAR WITH IT. MY SIZE 14 BOOT EASILY FITS INTO IT. AS A MATTER OF FACT I HAD TO TAKE THE SLACK OUT. IT WOULD PROBABLY FIT A 16 FOR MEN. THE QUALITY OF THIS CRAMPON IS OUTSTANDING. I PAID THE PRICE GOING CHEAP. BLACK DIAMOND WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY BUSINESS. THANKS!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked well, don’t use with keen style boots
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019

Works great, just make sure you don’t have big rounded toe and heel co structure in your boot.

A few of us did some alpine hiking in Colorado in June (snow) and needed these. Two of us had boots with rounded toe and heel rubber. Great for hiking but they don’t match well with these. They kept falling off. We ended up tightening them so hard that my toes of the boot bent up significantly and my foot arched backward. Only then did they stay on.

Great product just get some boots that will work well with crampons if you’re really going to depend on them.

I used these Black Diamond Contact Crampons to claim Mt. Saint Helens and they got me to the summit. Since I didn't have Mountaineering boots I was worried how this would work on a regular but sturdy pair of Danner hiking boots. They strapped on nicely without any movement and never loosened on the climb. they are extremely well made and easy to adjust. I would recommend a very sturdy soled hiking boot or better yet mountaineering boot for more technical climbs.
Very happy with them and they will accompany me up South Sister very soon!

3.0 out of 5 stars Won’t fit size 12 boots
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023

There is an extension bar you can purchase separately, but no one sells it. Bought these for a backpacking trip. Did not fit, had to pay $225 at a local outdoor store last minute. Went on my trip, came back and tried to return the crampons, and Amazon said it had been to long. I was out of the country at the time. The seller needs to heavily express that these don’t fit size 12, I only found that out by going to backcountry.com and reading it there. If you have big feet don’t buy

I am impressed with quality of the product.
Size is adjusted easily (and reliably), sturdy. Locks solidly over hiking boots (the model that I got is not intended for any technical ice-climbing)
Fairly simple to put on (if you are not familiar with crampons - put them on at home, it is not fun trying to figure it out when it is cold and dark).

Be advised, these crampons may require the longer bars. My AMERICAN size 12 Columbia Low top Hike boots needed one more hole. I am rating the product quality here and not my disappointment in the way the product is offered. You can't order these with a choice of bar lengths. If they are too short, you will need to give Black Diamond more money. Simply consider the total cost. They ARE worth it though.
EXCELLENT crampon. Totally satisfied with the performance and construction. I learned of this crampon from a friend who highly recommended them. I own other excellent Black Diamond products.

I am an experienced backpacker. I have used axe, snowshoes, and microspikes very often. But this was my first pair of crampons. So I checked online for the right way to put them on. Then went on a hike. Followed the instructions and the crampons came off in the first five minutes. Both ! The first one, I didn't even noticed until I didn't see it on my boot. I got mad because I didn't want to lose it. While looking for it, the second crampon also came off ! I was using them with Salomon mountaineering boots. I still don't know what I did wrong. Maybe they don't match the boots? I made sure they were tight. I don't know if I want to use them again. I may give them another chance. But I was super frustrated. Expensive unreliable branded crampons versus cheap and reliable Chinese microspikes ... Microspikes win for sure. Somehow I managed to reach the summit of Ruby Mountain in WA using only my snowshoes.

Substainal and look extremely durable. Sadly I didn't get to use them on my trip due to altitude sickness. They'd been purchased for traversing across a Glacier at 22,000ft, but should be great even in the mountains in a British winter. Can't wait to try them properly

4.0 out of 5 stars Grippy and safe, but break pants
Reviewed in Japan on April 16, 2023

Used these crampons for a winter hike in the Japan Alps: they did great with the hard-packed snow at 3,000m and I would definitely recommend them. Relatively lightweight and they stayed firm on my shoes, despite wearing them on soft trail runners! Only downside: any clumsiness that brings them in contact with your pants will produce a big hole in your goretex gear. They are sharp!
