My career revolves around hiking a lot and running over steep hills, creeks, plains rocky terrain, sandy terrain etc. I need good ankle support and something that I can wear for 10 hours a day without getting fatigued. Which Crispi boot would you recommend? I was looking at the Nevada’s
@@pauloramirez8216 I think you are headed in the right direction with Nevada’s. They are Crispi’s Legendary boot, built as a do it all boot. With your career it sounds like your boots see a lot of different terrain and use. I think the Nevada will be the best bet for comfort and longevity.
@@redshunting9661 thank you. Yes they do see a lot of terrain and use. I currently am using the quest forces. 6 months in and they are falling apart. Worst part is going down steep mountains or hills they have no traction. Slipped a few times. Thank you for your input.
My 2 cents would be anything that comes in the EE would be a wise start - the Nevada Non Insulated GTX comes in a wide and is a somewhat heavier duty boot with 2.6 mm leather - fine for cold weather and lasts a long time. If you are looking for something lighter, the Lapponia III in the EE size is light and quick - combine that with a Superfeet Green insole and that would be a good choice. You can order a couple of pairs from Red's, and essentially get a "Free" return of the one you aren't as fond of. The fee for free returns is .98 and it goes in automatically at checkout unless you remove it from the shopping cart. We have all of these in stock (including the Superfeet) in most every size, go check it out. redsflyfishing.com/collections/crispi-boots
I sent them into Crispi and they sent me a new pair. They have awesome customer service. They are incredibly comfortable. It’s always a hard decision on weather to wear the Lapponias or the Altitude
I’m the guy in the review, I also have an old set of Thors. They are great with weight on your back it seems like, but not the best feeling boot for long days. The Altitude has a bit more flex, by far I prefer the Altitude. So much so we don’t even carry the Thor anymore.
I've never heard of Crispi boots. They look like quality boots from Italy, yet there are so many others. Why do hunters like the Crispi? Is there anything unique or differentiated from other boots at the same price?
Really it going to come down to comfort level. They claim to have a comfortable boot right out of the box and I think that stands true. They also have enough different styles and models I think there is a boot for everyone foot style.
They’re quality boots. I own pairs of the Nevada gtx, Summits, and Thor II. They all have their respective advantages/disadvantages, stiffness rating, etc. I’ve never needed their customer service, but from what I’ve read from others it seems good. I’ve had other boots, but felt Crispi’s quality was exceptional, and haven’t had the need try anything else since I started wearing them.
@@pfknob Couple come to mind but I would really check out the Altitude for the warmer months. Great breathability! Still a semi stiff sole with a flex rating of 2.5.
What is the difference between lapponia 3 and briksdal mtn? I know the briksdal mtn has the abss and it’s a flex 3 but a lot of people say the lapponia 3 is more like a 2.5 flex rating with the new outsole. Do they feel different? Does the briksdal mtn feel more supportive or are they pretty even
Good question. The main difference is going to be the ABSS which is reflected in the price difference. The Lapponia III is a flex 2 and the Briksdal is a flex 3. Its a noticeable difference but not huge. The Lapponia fits into a more early season boot but would fall short in the winter. Briksdal is going to cover a wider range of seasons.
I bought a pair of Altitude last year and only wore them in a few hunts. All the stitching on the back of both boots has completely come apart. I have 4 other Crispi boots and they’re all holding up great. Not sure why the Altitudes are coming apart.
We've seen a small amount of stitching come loose after a season, but not like you are describing. Did you warranty these with Crispi? Also, other than that did you find the fit and comfort to be comparable, better, or worse than other models? Always like to hear feedback from other users.
I had the same problem with mine too. It's like the stitching on the back part if the rand is where the boots naturally want to flex as the ankle bends. The threads just eventually just frayed and broke.
Great question. I like the Nevada boot by Crispi if you are looking for a wider toe box. The Lapponia and Altitude both had a more European style toenbox, resulting in a slimmer toe box.
Glad you like them! Couple of us in the shop are running them this season and so far great feedback from the feet. Nice early season arhat trickles into mid season boot.
How would you feel about hunting white tail in Wisconsin in this boot with some warm socks. I feel like insulated boots maybe overkill this seems like a potentially good choice
Sounds like you have a potential to get cold feet. Are you still hunting or tree stand hunting? These boots aren’t very warm. I find them to be good as long as I am mobile but not the best sitting and glassing boot. I wouldn’t use them in the late season here in the PNW.
Thanks, responding from our fishing channel. Appreciate it, not many views here for such a currently relevant product. Haven't seen anyone share a review of a fully used and abused pair of these yet.
Used the Summit all last season, from running my dog almost 3 days week before the season opened and then all through AZ quail season. It held up phenomenal. Oak brush and cat claw were no problem. My dog drinks from water bottles so the two bottles that come with the vest are perfect for that. I did order a couple extra pouches. They attached easily and had plenty of room for them. I would highly the Sunmit from Final Rise. I just ordered the Garmin pouch for the shoulder strap and will be getting one of their shotgun scabbards soon. Excellent quality stuff and American made.
