Overkill!
With regular crampons you go perfectly fine on hard snow, no problems, you can climb waterfalls with them too.
If not planning extremes, buy crampons according to boots.

Hey, thanks for recommendations so far. I have Alpinine regular hiking boots but they soak through in untouched snow.
So by next winter I'll buy both: winter boots and crampons and question is which system to invest in: classic, semi-auto or auto.

Don't rush with winter boots.
As I wrote once, they make sense only if going to Himalaya or standing half hour on each belay in middle of waterfall. If hiking and blood circulates normally, good waterproof regular boots suffice.
Why you have soaking boots is another question.

Probably in winter conditions better to go a bit safer, even with clothing, than count everything will be fine and you'll hike normally.

I'm wondering if classic crampons can be worn on mid-height Salomon outline gtx mid boots. For those few times I go winter mountains really wouldn't buy new boots.

Classic crampons fit on almost any boot

Not every footwear is for snow

Crampons are not even an issue..
If it's for walking in winter conditions, this boot is too light, during longer walks in snow the foot cools faster in such types of footwear. I assume though that on longer hikes this boot also gets soaked.

He asked about crampons whether they fit, not about footwear – that he'll figure out himself during/after the hike.

He wrote that he plans to use these boots in winter, right? Chains fit on summer tires too...
But it's also about the fact that with such light boots classic crampons can be heavier than them, which can be uncomfortable...

And now we need a PhD to see who's smarter.
The first answer from ljubitelj gora is completely sufficient and the only sensible one, everything else just clouds the facts.

I have classic ones from Camp 12-point and I'm satisfied with them. They fit nicely on Tibet boots. Which aren't even heavy.

SamoK, I think the one who advised that winter boots are only sensible for Himalaya has already done his PhD here...

I really rushed with that and I apologize. Also for the Andes and elsewhere.
In Slovenia just for decoration in shops and sellers' profit.

And now everyone will suggest their own model or what?
Man (Krefi), it doesn't matter which crampons you buy. Ok, not automatic ones, of course.

No, all-knowing Samo, I only suggest what I know and know works.
