The front has the same attachment system as the baskets, while the rear is the same as the automatics. These crampons are stiffer and quicker to put on than basket crampons. Footwear for this attachment requires a special groove at the back, at the heel.

The horizontal orientation of the attack teeth will be the best choice when hiking and climbing on soft snow. They guarantee greater stability on a looser-than-ice but still slippery surface.
