The ALP FOREST has the same upper and claw construction and materials as the ALP 20.
The model was originally created at the request of people who go into the mountains for hunting.

Three differences.
Crampons are painted black so they do not reflect light, reducing the likelihood of startling forest animals.
Heel lifter not included.
Colour of upper silicone parts.

*A heel lifter is included from the 2022 FW season, as is the ALP 2.0.
*Please make sure to check the "HOW TO FIT in picture" for fitting instructions.

*From the manufacturer's website.

*When fitting into alpine boots with crampon bumps, please choose one size up from the size chart above as the upper part has considerable volume.
For more information, please refer to the fitting size details to determine the size from actual measurements.
Please check that the crampon can be fitted correctly (is the right size) after fitting (trial fitting) the shoes you intend to use when you arrive.

▪ Method of mounting
1. check the front and back of the crampons. The back is marked 'BACK'.
Cover the spike from the toe, making sure that the spike is facing outwards and not towards the sole.
(Crampons do not differ from left to right.)

2. *Caution* Fit the crampon to the forefoot, making sure that the chain (wire) of the micro-crampon is not caught on the sole of the shoe, as this can cause it to loosen.

3. Pull the micro-crampon towards the heel with both hands, place it over the heel and pull it up.

4. pull up the heel part of the micro-crampon firmly and check that it fits the shoe.
When removing it, follow the removal procedure in reverse order of installation.

*Note*
If the joint between the elastomer and the chain (wire) rests on the edge of the sole, it can cause the crampon to break.
Always ensure that the sole is at least 1 cm above the edge of the sole. (If this does not happen, the size may not be correct.)

The specifications (logo position, colour, pattern position, etc.) may differ slightly from those of this product as the manufacturer's images are used.
