what r those weird little spikes for?

[Steve Bullman]

not chainsaw boots....where did you find them?

[Ian F]

They are Steve

 

Aparrently they are to help when branch walking?

[Steve Bullman]

really. apologies then....never seen nor heard of them before. branch walking is the only reason i could see for those spikes but i have my doubts how good they would be for that. i guess it would be down to each climbers individual style but personally i branch walk on my toes not the arch of my foot....also im sure they wouldnt be a lot of cop for wearing with spikes. no doubt they underwent field testing though and were given the thumbs up by climbers somewhere. be interesting to try them out

thats ok steve apology accepted. i think you have to take them out to wear spikes with them but then i dont no if there is something else in there place to stop them getting clogged up.

i wonder how easy they are to take off then...would think they would fall out easily, they are going to take some abuse there

i bet you can just take the spikes off and not put anything in place, i wouldnt want the spikes tho, it would tear the bark on young trees to easily imo

only thing them spikes good for would be removing all the dog poo from site
