Will these boots hold a crampon(not for ice climbing, for glacier travel)? How flexible/ senstive are they? I want a pair of boots for mountain scrambling/via ferrata. I would like a combination of lighter/ more flexible hiker to give sensitivty when climbing rock, but still a robust enough boot for crampons/ steep terrain.

I did put a glacier walk type universal crampon on my first pair of Kayland's while in Patagonia and this my 2nd pair have the same sole configuration so it will be no problem. I have not put a pair on this new version, but can see no reason why it won't work just as well.
