Don't buy that, because those are no crampons for mountains! Get at least 6-p.
No hard feelings! (And they won't be much more expensive)

I bought Ice Track last year at Jarški dom on Velika Planina, this year I saw that they sell them at AMZS.

No worries, I won't hold it against you, thanks to everyone for all the recommendations.
Let me explain my "view" as well: I have all the necessary gear for winter ascents, from 12-tooth (steel) crampons onwards. But when I reach especially towards the end of winter some hut (e.g. Kališče, etc.), I pack the crampons in the backpack and descend the trodden and icy trail to the valley jumping left-right because it slips, which I envy some who with such crampons nicely slowly and carefree step down. And so I decided to get also these "reserve" crampons - specifically.

These things for the mountains simply shouldn't be advertised!

Well, you can surely get such chains at Mrzlica for 30 euros!

For mid-mountains they are just right! For high mountains still best to get real crampons!

for walks they are good, for anything else I completely advise against them:
1. not suitable for steep slopes
2. teeth are short
3. rubber can tear under load
4. large snowballs form
5. I didn't have a good feeling in them (stability, trust in crampons...)
don't know why you promote city crampons limited exclusively to icy sidewalks and roads as aid for hiking in mountains?!
this is just my opinion, some will heed it, some not. up to you how you decide.

quite decent crampons, here on the forum they praise them a lot. if you add a bit more you get good crampons already. cassin, camp, bd...
but for what you'll need them those are super.

These are basically climbing crampons, but usable for walking too. If you're looking for hiking crampons, it might be worth checking these. If nothing else, they are much cheaper. Horizontally positioned front teeth should also cut the snow surface less - how true that is, I have no idea. I only have climbing crampons, and they are just fine for me.

I use crampons as Zebdi mentioned and they are praiseworthy (quality, price, usability)
definitely recommend.

I wouldn't complicate it too much here and would take the cheaper ones. The differences are, as you said, minimal and I bet you won't notice them in use.
More info on manufacturer's pages: Air Tech and G12
Best,

Thanks for the reply. I would use them for walking, maybe some gully here and there. No intention to climb.
