Default climbing trees with spurs - spikes ... how to guide

I've done a lot of pruning work on smaller trees. I never had the need to use spurs because there are many more qualified people out there than me to remove a tree. But regarding spurs, how would you explain to someone how to climb with them? Do you keep your feet to the side of the tree like a ladder or close in? Do you jam your points in or just step on them? And what about the wobble factor? Do you hang on with your knees? And how far back should I be leaning into my lanyard when I stop?

Thanks for your patience in explaining this mundane detail.
