    Well, I googled the boot and came up with the answer C1, mind you, I have no idea if it's right :rotfl:
  • Crampons are graded C1, C2 and C3. These grades are used to determine compatibility with a walking or climbing boot. Boots are graded B0 (incompatible with crampons), B1 (a sturdy hillwalking boot), B2 (a stiffer mountaineering boot) and B3 (a fully rigid climbing and mountaineering boot). The number of the boot must be equal to or higher than the number of the crampon, so a B3 boot would generally be compatible with all types of crampon. A B2 can be used with a C2 or C1 crampon and a B1 boot can only be used with a C1 crampon.

    As the Mammut GTX is a B1 graded boot it can only be used with C1 type Crampons.
