I have used Grivel G14s with Frenays with success on mixed and vertical ice. The freneys have quite a curve to the sole so you would need to fit the asymetric 'banana' shaped crampn bars to ensure a snug fit to the boot's sole - not sure how snug a fit Foot Fangs would provide as they look pretty rectangular. Hope this helps Monty

Daniel,These Scarpa's are pretty flat on the bottom and have almost no rocker in the front of the shoe. Like most modern mountaineering boots they now have more of an anatomical fit. I have never used Foot Fangs, but imagine it will feel unnatural when walking. Take a look at some of the modern crampons on the market right now. They will be more secure and fit much better. If you are going to make the investment in a nice boot you should definitely have the crampons to match. What are you going to be doing in these?Mahalo, Sumo
