Ok I have an idea.  I'll give you a couple of suggestions for your next boots purchase, you wear them once, then I'll buy them off you.  Deal? ;)

yep they do  8)  not to sure exactly what type but all descriptions state crampon compatible! have to say the soles are very stiff!

They don't have a heel welt so will be limited to strap-on C1 crampons - fine for winter walking & glaciers but not secure enough for climbing.
I'm sure the sole is very stiff though, and has that large smear-patch so would be great for scrambling or via-ferrata.
