Though meant for trail running, this article gives a great overview for traction devices for lighter footware.

The only review missing is forin-step (4 pt) crampons. (or similar)

In-step crampons are a bit impractical for trailrunning and/or for some
lighter footwear. 

 However, if you use traditional boots/heavier footwear,  the four pt.
crampons has proven
 to be a good option for hikers in icy, but
non-technical, conditions.
