Worked As Advertised. Size 14

Worked as advertised. Size 14 shoe and it fit fine.

Don't Leave Home Without It

Need it to make my boots fit my crampons- 5 star for making that happen

Great For Fitting Crampons Over Ski Boots

I use these with EU Men 46 Alfa Outback and EU M 48 Alfa Polar boots. Great fit and no need to bring and change into mountaineering boots on glacier crossings. I used them recently on a Vatnajokull traverse with strap on BD crampons, perfect fit and no problems.

Works Great If You Have Big Feet

These are great for those of us with bigger feet. My crampons wouldn’t fit on my boots without these.

Great

Allows me to use my boots (I wear a 47) with BD crampons! Same great quality!

Must Have For Bigger Feet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have larger than size 10.5 snowboard boots, these are crucial for making your crampons fit properly. I have BD contact strap crampons and size 11 Thirtytwo Jones XLT splitboard boots and these make the crampons fit perfectly, the stock bars are a little too short.

It Does What It Does

After reading all the reviews, I know I needed these. With the boots I got for my visit to Svalbard in January. There were only 2 extra holes left after fitting on boot. Boot is size 14

Needs Modifying

The bar takes a lot of stress from the clampons, due to the two piece construction. I find that the clampons cannot be tightened enough on insulated snow boots to keep them from moving around and coming off occasionally. I solved this by drilling a 1/4 inch hole in the clampon front and rear piece and using a 1/4 inch bolt with a 1" head through the boot and the clampon. The head is large enough not to pull through the boot, and the clampon stays firm. Black Diamond could offer a clampon unit with small thorns to grab the boot sole. That would go a long way towards keeping the clampon in place.

Works As It Should But ....

So I bought the contact crampons and the bar that's included won't fit my size 11 salomon quest 4d, let alone my scarpas. Says will fit up to size 12 ... not sure what size they're measuring. I would guess the stock bars that come with the contact crampons will fit up to a size 10 for most boots. Simple solution ... offer an option to pick which bar when ordering and be realistic as to what size shoe the short bar will fit. So 3 stars because they do what they should and minus 2 stars for black diamonds lack of offering the customer options without spending more money.
