Thanks a lot. I'll buy the 6-point ones, that'll be plenty.

Is this something like that then?

so 6 points without front spike? What kind of hikes do you do with them without problems?

This article is really good considering I'm a beginner. Thanks, medo*

Isn't that too much? I need for walking, not climbing, exactly with those I thought they were too aggressive...

I'm reading this thread, but something isn't clear to me - I'd need crampons, but not for steep slopes, just in winter when the snow ices up and it's smart to have them up there, even if I don't go into the wall. I mean for winter hikes on so-called ''easy marked trails'', if I use the categorization you use on hribi.net.

I looked in the store and saw crampons that had basically just a few metal ''buttons'' up front. I imagined crampons differently, more pointy, and I don't understand how those 'buttons' can protect from slipping.

On the other hand, in another store I only saw crampons with points also in front, i.e. more for walls, vertical paths. That's too much again, because I don't plan to climb ice.

So what do you advise? That or shoe covers I'll check later myself, basically I'm interested what type of crampons to look for - if you attach a link or pic I'll be even happier, since it's my first time buying them.

Thanks a lot.
