Crampons for the Scarpa Zodiac?

I've got a pair of the Scarpa Zodiac Tech Gtx boots.  

They're comfortable and agile.  I like them.  

However, they don't really fit very well with any crampons I own.  The combination of the rockered sole and the rather bulbous toe make them difficult to fit into my crampons that have the "basket" toe fixtures.  I've tried them with Grivel Airtechs and the Blue Ice Harfangs.  The fit with the Grivels is better than the Harfangs, but still not ideal.  

Any Zodiac users out there that have a crampon that is compatible with these boots?

Grivel toe baskets come in three sizes. Try a bigger one.

I’ve used my Zodiac Tech with semiauto BD Sabertooths. I’m a size 48, so ymmv. The fit seemed acceptable considering they’re not a full shank boot. I can post a picture this evening if you’d like.

I use mine with semi-auto g12s. They didn't work well with the Alpinist Pros.
