Excellent general purpose mountaineering 12-point crampons! You can wear just about any shoe, as I ended up doing when I forgot my boots and had to wear sneakers on my way up the Mountaineers Route. These crampons held their own then, and they’ll do the same for you.
Built for stability and comfort, the S12 Articule is exceptional for long days on the mountain. This is the most simplified version in the S12 crampon series, with lightweight straps over the heel and toe. The strap on design will work even with sneakers and the articulated joint allows it to walk better than any other crampon on any flexible boot. With a rigid boot the crampon is rigid and climbs well. They also work better than most crampons with over boots. However, these can be difficult to put on with gloves due to threading through the metal rings, a problem when it is very cold.
