[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1946540, member: 64108"] The CAMP 490 is just over a pound and universal fit to any shoe or boot, I'm a size 13 and they fit fine. I covered a ~100 yard section of 50 degree ice going up Mt Whitney 2 years ago with these on tennis shoes, not the shoe of choice for ice or front pointing but is doable. They have horizontal front points for glacier/snow travel, as opposed to vertical points for hard ice, which generally crampons of this type will have both a heel and toe bail and special boots(mountaineering) are required. As stated you really should practice walking in them for a while or you are likely to shred your pants, gaiters, or stab yourself in the calf.
