They'll fit on pretty much any shoe, but if you put them on a real soft shoe, you might impede circulation when tightened them properly. This can result in devastating consequences in extreme cold.

I have used them on my 5.10 Guide Tennies and they work fine. Those do not have a stiff sole at all. Prepare for wet feet if using them on approach/running shoes. They will work on literally almost any shoe.

These crampons will not work on trail runners or lightweight hikers. Tried to put them on my Montrail trail runners and Lowa hikers and they will not work. A stiff sole and a harder toe area is needed.

I think you need at least a stiff heel for these to stay on. They will work better on stiff soles. Hope this helps...
