I currently have a pair of Petzl crampons with the long bars that supposedly fit up to size 15 boots. Perhaps my boots are too curved but they barely fit on my mountaineering boots. I like the crampons but I am worried about the fatigue on the bar I am so close to the end. I have contacted Petzl and am waiting and the other option I can think of is having a pair of bars custom made (I have already designed them) locally. Does anyone see any other options. My old crampons barely fit size 12 mens so using them is out. I'm going back in on around the 10th so I need to get this sorted.

Thanks in advance for any and all ideas.
