What spur & pad combo do you shorter guys prefer

[Philtreeman#1]

I am looking to outfit my employee with Spurs. He is shorter with short calf muscles. My Geckos seemed like they did not fit well & raised huge blisters. I was wondering what you shorter guys like.

How tall is he?

 

[Philtreeman#1]

He is 5'7"

I'm 5'9", 160+/- with gear. I wear Stein X2 spurs with those C cup pads. Pretty comfy but I'm not a fan of the spike profile. Don't tend to stay sharp very long and come dull as a butter knife. You can correct that yourself though. Other than that they're very comfy. I don't spend a lot of time in spikes as most of my work now is pruning , removals tend to be in a bucket nowadays for other companies

So are the Climb Right with ultralight pads similar to the Stein X2s. They look very similar.

 

[david1332]

They are pretty much the same I believe .

I'm about 5'10'' and 150-155lbs without gear. Using Buc alloys with Buckingham velcro wrap pads. Way comfy for me. Of course you'll get a lot of opinions on spur selection.

Do your geckos not adjust down far enough?
I'm 5'9" and I still have room on mine to go shorter

They adjust plenty far down. He has short calf muscles & they seem to rub excessively.

Antec axis, perhaps? Haven't tried them myself... @oceans notes that they sit lower than some others.

Yup. Antec Axess Climbers are doing me right. They might only be short for someone my height, though. Whatever the case, I find they're comfy for even extended use.
