Makalu Boots . I have had 2 pair of these and when I put my crampons on the toe starts to pull off if i loosen the adjustments anymore im afraid they may fall off when i need them most wich would probably be during a pinch and I was wondering if some one might know why, what I could do or is there a better boot that could be recomended

Look for the newer style step-in crampons that have the additional safety strap that runs from the toe wire to the heel portion, preventing the toe wire from accidentally slipping off. Or use newmatic crampons (heel lever, but no toe bail--uses a plastic/rubber strap instead like the front of most strap-style crampons). I use newmatic crampons for ice climbing and love 'em (Grivel G-14s). There is no play whatsoever if I adjust them right.
