Nortec Corsa 2.5 Winter Running Micro Crampons EN 893

The Corsa 2.5 crampons are dedicated to running in winter conditions:

• Urban winter running: icy pavements, frozen park paths, early runs before the gritters
• Winter trail: frozen tracks and packed snow, on a trail shoe with a flexible sole
• Regular cold-weather training: keeping your mileage up when the ground turns slippery
• Hard snow and sheet ice: the steel plates bite where a lugged sole slips
• Trekking shoes excluded: the sizes are calibrated for running and trail running shoes

The Corsa 2.5 crampons provide a degree of protection against the foot slipping, and improve stability and traction on icy, snowy, muddy, slippery or wet grassy surfaces. They do not remove the risk of slipping. The manufacturer sets the following limits of use:

• Maximum incline: flat or gently inclined surfaces
• Type of footwear: running and trail shoes only, trekking shoes excluded
• Excluded uses: climbing and extreme activities
• Ground to avoid: hard, rocky or stone-covered ground, where the risk of slipping remains
• Delicate surfaces: do not run or walk on parquet, wood or carpet
• Driving: remove the crampons before driving
• Removal: take the crampons off as soon as the ground is no longer slippery
• Children: supervision by a responsible adult is essential
• Before each outing: visually check for cracking, corrosion, breakage or deformation, and replace the product if any damage is visible

• Lightweight structure: improved fit, sole grip and running comfort
• Crampon dedicated to winter running: built for the stride, not for the approach walk
• High-tech elastomer: quick fitting and a firm bond to the shoe
• Steel crampon plates: grip on ice and hard snow
• Spike length: over 10 mm
• Interchangeable spikes: the construction system allows worn spikes to be replaced
• Compact case: supplied, made of technical material
• Interchangeable: no difference between the right and left crampon
• Weight per pair: 275 g (9.7 oz) in size M, 280 g (9.9 oz) in size L, 285 g (10.1 oz) in size XL
• Material operating range: from −30 °C / −22 °F to +40 °C / 104 °F, resistance of the plastic and metal structures

The sizes are calibrated for running and trail running shoes. A trekking shoe, being bulkier, does not suit this model: the hold would not be secure.

Checking the fit: once in place, the back of the elastomer should sit at least 1 cm above the edge of the shoe, with no loose area and no over-tensioned part. If that is not the case, the size is not the right one.

• After use: rinse in warm water, 30 °C / 86 °F maximum, with mild soap
• Drying: dry completely before storing
• Storage: dry, ventilated place, 30 °C / 86 °F maximum, away from heat sources, direct sunlight and sharp objects
• To avoid: any contact with corrosive substances, oils and lubricants
• Worn spikes: replaceable individually, spare parts from the manufacturer
• Service life: five years from first use, and ten years maximum from manufacture, whatever the storage conditions
• Periodic check: at least once every twelve months from first use
• Repairs: restricted to qualified personnel using original parts — any modification voids the warranty and compromises safety
• End of life: dispose of the product in line with current regulations
