Love these
I used these hiking up to Camp Muir on Rainier a couple weekends ago. I have the basket fittings, not the clip-on, and they worked perfectly with my Solomon boots. No slipping, no re-adjusting necessary. Only problem was the strap being very long after I got them on, but there's nothing to do about that - I got small feets. They are a little heavy, yes, but I didn't worry at all about the couple little jaunts over rock. The Muir snowfield is a little over 2 miles (or maybe 10, somewhere in between there) so I had them on for a long time, and yes, you can feet you're walking on metal, but I have no complaints. No blisters, no toe pinching, no back of angle issues - nothing, just great grip. Love that they shorten for packing, also. They don't come with a bag, so figure that into the cost when you buy. The antibotts seemed to work great, no buildup of snow. Overall, fantastic for the price, no regrets or wishing I'd gong with a higher priced model. Very happy with them!
