Any suggestions for the crampons with the best fit for the arc’teryx acrux boot for ice climbing? Have the lynx and seem to have issues with the front points being slightly pigeon toed.
Any suggestion on getting the best fit? If I offset the front bail so that it’s in the far forward and far rear slot then they are mostly straight but then the secondary points are too short and the front bail fits a bit less secure.
Suggestions on a different crampon that fits better or another method to get a better fit? The lynx works perfectly on my la sportiva boots.

Most modern crampons are asymmetrical like that, it makes climbing easier. You can flip the bar to make them less asymmetrical if you want
I have the Acrux paired to a Petzl Dart. The Dart evidently has a Lynx mono point. Initially I did notice a pigeon-toe orientation but was able to calibrate the orientation to my liking by moving the spreader bar laterally one position. It still isn't perfectly ideal -- when does this happen? never -- but is a clear improvement and certainly good enough for me.
