Options:
The Grivel Spider is a ten-pointed polyamide structure, which does not require adjustment to adapt to any type of shoe, in any size.

Properly used, the Spider will provide an important margin of safety to the trekker who finds himself on snow, iced-over trails, wet grass and heather or simply hiking on steep, muddy terrain. While helpful to hunters and mountain photographers, Spiders are especially useful to professionals who encounter snow and ice on a daily basis in winter: park rangers, loggers and snow-making equipment operators at ski resorts. Mountain Rescue Teams will appreciate the fact that Spiders may be adjusted to any shoes without tools. The two parts fit together for transport with the points facing inwards for safety.

CAUTION: the Spider is not a crampon designed for alpinism; never attempt to use it on steep ice.

Buy more than 1 pair and save money.

Grivel Spider
Author: BOOTboy
  'ESSENTIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT FOR FELL WALKERS'
Strengths: Great grip on icy trails and moderate up and downhill ice slopes. Lightweight
Weaknesses: Fiddly to fit (but stay in place if you fit them properly). Not suited to steep uphill ice patches
Overall: Not a replacement for full crampons if you are into ice climbing but I am not! I wouldn't go out in winter conditions without them in my sac. I can even get my wife out walking on ice now she has a pair- it has transformed her winter walking horizons.
