Crispi Boots Question

[HeadedWest]

I dont know if you got my message, but the answer I believe are Crispi Neveda non insulated. Socks are just as important. Go to Ocean Beach Socks. I wear the sausqwash and Mooses. seems to work out handy dandy with my 2.0 black thermos.

Kennetrek Mountain extreme 400s are probably the number 1 boot locally here in Montana.

I love my Crispis but 1 word of caution even with Crispis....they are great but any boot with threaded seams could possibly have problems if in a lot of snow and wet. All leather is great but unfortunately it's a little heavier weight and doesn't breath as well. If you use them in dry areas it may not matter but if in wet snow I would use caution with boots with seams!

Others' experiences may be different but my Crispi Legend Hunter GTX boots are all leather and waterproof. I have literally stood in the river (multiple times) launching and recovering our hunting boat and never the slightest hint of moisture. I was the only guy, out of three, with waterproof boots on my last trip so I was voted to be the dude to jump off the rig on landing or the guy pushing the boat off the shore and jumping in. The shores were shallow so there was no way to not get feet in the water.

I was nervous the first time but after having a motor starting problem and me standing in the water for about 5 minutes and with ZERO leakage, I have zero concerns moving forward when it comes to these boots. You should treat them with the waterproofing cream (crispi water proofing cream). Not sure what is in that tin, but it works and not just on Crispi boots!

If you want performance in the snow get kennetreck, best grip and comfort IMO. If you want lightweight elk hunting boots get the crispi Colorado, thor, or laponia boots.

I just bought crispi Colorado on sale for around $250. They are very comfy. Way better than my scarpas. On the other hand… scarpas are tough awesome boots

While I love my Summits for September, in the winter when the snow stacks up I go to my Hoffman Explorers.

Either way with the leather boots. Get a good wax and coat them well. Water, snow won't bother you.

Crispi Nevada were the worst boot I've ever owned. They are extremely flimsy, the soles literally wear out like an eraser on a pencil. My feet were sore and fatigued after a day of use, they started leaking halfway through the first season. I sent them back and crispi did nothing. They didn't even email me back. Called them and they told me to take it up with GOR-TEX as it wasn't a fault if their boot. Spent almkst $500 on a pair if boots that they woulndt stand by. I've never had foot issue in my life until I used crispis. I attribute my fallen arch, heel pain, need for expensive orthotic inserts, need for corrective surgery and pain in my feet every day partly to a set of crispi nevadas. I realize they offer different styles and stiffness and some people's feet are different but if you have a set of boots that work for you I recommend sticking with them. Research what the boot is actually designed for before and what you need in a a boot before you decide to trust that boot for your feet.

Crispi Nevada or guide sound like good fits for this.

I have the crispi hunter. Never worn in snowy mountainous region yet. I also had a couple pair of Lowa. Very sturdy and tough as nails. Great soles. Myself I do a lot of research and studying and gathering others' opinions on an specific item before getting. That's why I went with the crispi hunters. Lowa be my second. Schnees be my 3rd (do not own a pair though) meindl would also be a tie with 2nd place. Well built and sturdy. I love how they also make them in black to qualify for my uniform standards for work. I have the meindl performance gtx which I'm gonna order another pair and I have a pair of the meindl army pro which are still running tough. Tread on those are holding up better than the meindl performance gtx. Love all of them. I was getting the Lowa mountain boot and Lowa combat boot but they changed their style so I'm not as eager to get them anymore
