what is a newmatic crampon? Would the black diamond strap crampon work on this boot? How would you compare the La Sportiva Womens Nepal Evo boot to this boot?

Thanks

A newmatic crampon has a heel lever which clamps to the ridge on the heel of this boot. A newmatic crampon will also have a fabric strap around the toe.The BD Sabertooth is a good example of a 12 point newmatic crampon. The BD contact strap crampon is full straps- toe and hell. It will work here and on any boot.
