Rating:  - A little history to add...
You have to realize the weather and the part of Japan that these originated in. This tool was used to steady one's self on ice and wet,slippery footing. Ive used them and they work. They were made for the country and outdoors; not modern suburbs and cities. The Japan of yesteryear was not a modern country. So, the cities were still hard dirt in most area's and cobble stone in other parts.
Rating:  - Ashiko Foot Spikes
Usually used in tandem with "Tiger Claw" hand spikes, Ashiko [or just "foot spikes"] are a complimentary tool for scaling malliable surfaces [such as wood or clay structures]. I specifically do not mention "rock castle walls" as the devises do not dig into hard stone like they would "softer" elements- the ashiko's basic design requires the wearer to place their feet at an awkward 45 degree angle that is incredibly tough to maintain for any real length of climbing time!
