Has anyone done a glacier tour (Gletschertour) in the Alps in the Austria-Italy area?

I am doing the early planning for this, and the main points I am working on are:

- mountain hut lodging
- mountain guide booking
- gear: crampon compatible boots, pants and pack

The current focus for me is finding comfortable crampon compatible boots that are as light as possible. The issue is no one stocks these in stores because they are a niche product and the online shopping world we live in doesn’t help. I want to try these boots on for comfort and size, and avoid ordering multiple sizes and returning them.

Has anyone used crampon compatible boots from:
- La Sportiva —> looks best to me at the moment.
- Lowa
- Zamberlan
- Asolo
- Vasque
- Scarpa

Or other brands. Top requirement is comfort with crampon compatibility. Thanks!
