The only downsides of fingerspikes are the obvious impracticalities, which aren’t worse than I expected (hard to use objects, they hurt a little to wear for a long period unless you don’t secure them that well, they take more than zero seconds to put on). They are otherwise quite cool! If the idea of fingerspikes seems obviously appealing to you and you have ten bucks, I recommend them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F434WTR7. As typical for my experience with cheap amazon purchases, they look worse than in the advertising, but still look quite good in person.
