I'm thinking about getting the new-classics. I am interested in getting a pair of crampons that will work well for double boots as well as my regular hiking boots (LL bean Cresta Hikers) will these work/fit alright with my Cresta hikers?

They would work fine for both, but be super careful about using these on regular hiking boots with soft soles. Its very easy to get yourself over your head going up something that you won't have the performance of stiff boots to safely get down. The strap binding isn't really that much more difficult to put on but its harder to be certain that you have a good connection whereas the newmatic feels a little more secure and is easier to verify. Of course if you plan on using these with hiking boots occasionally you can only get the new classic (strap version).
