Micro spikes or hiking crampons

I am doing a trek to Ladakh next month, and the final ascent involves some snow and ice. The trek company provides crampons for hiking boots, but I was not sure of the quality.
I was interested in carrying hiking crampons or micro spikes with me as backup.
If you have any Micro spikes or hiking crampons for size 8 hiking boots, let me know.

The walking crampons will probably be the old style strap on ones:

there is not much that can go wrong with them....they are usually fairly bombproof and straps can be repaired easily....take a bit of cord and gaff tape if you are really worried.
