You may check around for a step in crampon for your tele boots. Some manufacturers make wide toe bails specifically for 75mm telemark duck bills that you can interchange with the standard bail. Haven't used them personally, but it's worth looking into as it might be more secure.

Tele-boots, because of the toe-bellows, are notoriously difficult to use with crampons. These are adjustable length and have a very reliable strap and solid toe/heel bales, do I'd say that if you size them properly and lace them down, you won't find a better bet elsewhere. Just be aware that they might shift when the boot bends while walking, so it may warrant a tightening after a bit of walking just to be sure.

They fit my AT boot and do a pretty good job of staying on. Although, I'm sure there are some instances in which I could kick, torque, twist, etc and get them to come off. All in all though, they're pretty secure!
