My advise is....

Take your boots into a decent shop, try them all on your boot. Buy the one that fits the best and most suited to your preferred end use.

"Decent" is key! You do get the occasional huge exception to the rule, but a lot of people working in your average Cotswolds don't have much real expertise - you hear them giving terrible advice all the time on generic stuff. On something as bewilderingly technical as crampons you would absolutely need an expert. When I first moved to the UK I went to get some hiking boots (mud and water not being big concerns in Australia!). I spent years trudging around in super heavy (1 kg each at least) B1-rated mountaineering boots, because I said "maybe, I don't know" when the kid asked if I would be using crampons!
