So I have some waterproof Merrells and i was curious if they would work with crampons?

I have the Phaser Peak Waterproofs, anyone know if they will work?

sorry imma newb, forgive my ignorance, but what are strap ons? (crampons that is lol) whats a clip on? and well these would just be for trail hiking on icy terrain. Can you give some examples of each kind?

I used a lesser pair of boots than yours with an old pair of strap ons - worked fine for low angle climbing (~35 degrees). Sounds like a pair of strap ons would do you well. :o
