Here's what other sites are saying:

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Manufactured from the finest quality chrome-moly steel, SMC 12 Point Hinged Crampons are made to take the abuse that all crampons must endure. Using a simple, efficient design, SMC crampons will reliably fit any boot - from stiff-soled leather to rigid plastics, with or without over boots. They have been designed with a horizontal frame to resist snow balling up underneath your foot. The hinge has been carefully located to add extra stiffness at the instep, keeping more points in contact with the climbing surface. Traverse points at the instep and rear of the crampon give added security on downhill travel. XSMALL: Wmn 5-7 SMALL: Wmn 7-9 Men 5-7 MEDIUM: Men 7-10 LARGE: Men 10-12 XLARGE: Men 12-14"

"I have only used these for a couple of trips so far, but here is my experience. The hinged, strap-on design means they work well with flexible boots (I use L. L. Bean pac boots for winter hiking, and the crampons have stayed on fine).

They are made of chromoly steel rather than aluminum, which means they should stay sharp longer even with the occasional patch of bare rock."
