i am having trouble finding crampons that will fit my boots they are scarpa sl size 48
any ideas
thanks

The Stubai ones (12 point) fit mine a treat. Cant remember the exact model name... Cotswold do them for around £65 if memory serves.

P.S. mine are size 48 Scarpa SL also...

For my Meindle Nepal’s size 47 I got Grivel G12’s, you can get the G10 extra wide but even with a longer bar they only just fitted my boots
Have a look at the G12’s here for the advice

Apparently they go up to a size 50

You're lot better of going in to a shop and making sure of the fit
But should you be cheap skate or broke (relatively) then look around online

I'm currently selling a set on Ebay that certainly fit my old size 49 boots.

However, they're step-in QR jobs, so if your boots can't handle that they won't be of any use to you.

i need a c1 crampon thanks anyway
stubai 10 point will do the job as far as i can tell
just debating to buy a new pair or not dont know how long the snow will last in the lakes
so dont know if its worth the outlay or not

I've got Scarpa SL's (size 50) and the Grivel G12s are a good fit.

Ooohhh! This is handy as im after crampons to. Ive only got size 11 feet usually but my Salomons are size 12 and a half and my scarpas are a 47. When well these bloody shoe makers standardize sizes and make it a bit easier for all of us huh!

bugger me i was going to bid on a pair of g12 on ebay but wasnt sure if they would fit
anyone got a pair of g12 for sale

Would any of you size 48s be interested in buying a set of mint condition size 12/13 Walsh PB Extreme fell running/trail shoes? They're slightly too small for my size 49s, hence the lack of use - I use the lighter PBs all the time, and they're a great hill shoe. If you'd like more info, drop me a line via the 'email member' thingy.
