These are a great low-tech / durable option compared to trimmer neoprene overboots. I'm not sure what's going on in the picture, though, but there is absolutely no way you can wear clip-on crampons with these overboots on any boot I've ever tried. If you have strap crampons, they'll work great. Otherwise, you'll have to cut holes for the toe bail, which precludes you from using them as camp booties in the snow. So they have their pros and cons.
product = LOVE!!
