Crispi Boots Question

[PingGong3]

What crispi boot do y'all recommend for hunting elk in the snow? I had the wrong boot last year and was slipping/sliding everywhere so I want to avoid that on the next trip. Thanks

Are you set on Crispi? I would go and try some on. There are plenty of good brands and fit a little different. I am not knocking Crispi at all, for me they were too narrow when I tried them on. They were certainly one of 5 or so different brands I tried on.

Don't rush on a boot purchase, make sure figment is right. Happy shopping!

I am also looking at the Schnees Beartooth. What are y'all's opinion on those boots?

I am not set on Crispi but from what I've read it seems to be Crispi, Kenetreck and Schnees??? I've tried some Schnees Beartooths on but I need to try the wide ones on Bc his were to narrow. I live in Alabama so it's hard to find dealers here to try these brand boots.

You may want to check out Lowa and Zanberlan also.

I have wide feet and ended with Kenetrek in wide. They are on the heavier side of things, but the comfort for me was more important for me.

I used the Crispi Wild Rock this year on an Elk hunt in snow. Rough terrain with no regrets on using this boot. I will say a pair of crampons in snow is the best option to prevent slipping and sliding around.

There are a lot of different options out there. The biggest thing for me is getting the right fit. I do a lot of elk hunting and I like the crispy boots in the Nevada with gators. They are not warm for doing a lot of sitting in cold temperatures but I am pretty active and they fit my style of hunting. Are you planning on hiking a lot, or more sitting, horseback, or atv. depends on how you are planning on hunting.

I like moving with short periods of sitting still, even down here in Alabama. I do not enjoy stand hunting to much.

I wear a Crispi Nevada non insulated. Sock Ocean Beach Co. active southwest socks that were 70%cotton27%polyester3%spandex and whore gaiters. My foot is a 11.5 a little wide and some what of a arch but I wear a 12 crispi I been told they might shrink a little after wear and tear. Never slip once out in Idaho.

Thanks! I ordered Crispi Nevada's and Beartooth Schnees. I'll try both and keep the one that beat fits. If they don't, I'll go down the list.

I like the height on the Crispi Hunter and also the Lowa Sheep Hunter is good also. If you can, try some on and see what fits your foot

Yes the hunters will be plenty tall enough.
I recently got a pair of Meindl. Requires a little break in but so far not bad

I have the crispi Colorado and they are comfortable but in 6" of snow my feet go cold pretty quick. I was not wear thick socks but my feet dd stay dry the entire time
