Hi there,
It just depends what you are using the boot and the crampons for. If you are doing non-technical walk-ups on glacier, these boots are fine. They are super waterproof and their weight will actually help you kick in steps.
A lot of people prefer non-plastics because they tend to be more comfortable, maneuverable (for more technical stuff), and lighter (some people say an ounce on your foot is like a pound in your pack). For comparison, these boots weigh over 5.5 lbs. and typical alpine ski boots are around that. Non-plastic boots can weight about half that.
As for the type of crampon, you can, and should, use a step in like the
or Cyborg.
Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any other questions.
