bigorange Report post Posted June 7, 2019 I won one of the Full Draw raffles for Crispi boots...now I have to figure out which ones I want. I've always sort of looked at the Guide and Hunter models, but now I'm considering more seriously. Any recommendations on specific models and what you like about them? Also, I see Bull Basin, Ross, and Archery HQ are retailers in AZ...any idea which ones have the best selection in stock for trying on? Bull Basin is local to me, but I could make it to Phoenix to try before I buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 7, 2019 i run the summit GTX. they are comfortable but have basically zero ankle support. i've had them through 3 seasons now and they still have another season of life in them. I will be trying something new this year. If i had a voucher for any crispi boot, I'd probably just go with the most expensive ones! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLance Report post Posted June 7, 2019 The wyomings are great... I easily put 1200 miles a year on them... Crispis are best boot on the market hands down 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted June 7, 2019 I should point out the raffle was for $150 credit so I can almost get one boot for free depending on the pair...definitely not any pair for free. I wish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted June 7, 2019 I went with the Guide Non-Insulated. Best boot I have ever used to date. Ross has about as good of a selection as I have found locally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted June 7, 2019 I bought insulated Nevadas before last years deer hunt. I am so glad I did. They are a great boot. Non-insulated would probably have been fine, but I seem to hunt elk when it is cold so I went that way. I dont really pack hunt deep in nasty country so the Nevada is a good choice for me. If i was going deep with heavy packs in nasty territory, something taller and stiffer might be better. I bought mine through Ross. They had several models in stock in most of the common sizes. They were great. I had to order mine because I needed the 12.5 wide boot. They had a 12 in stock that felt good but snug, so I new the extra room of the wide 12.5 wide would be perfect.

AZ8 Report post Posted June 7, 2019 I have the Dakotas. 2 years and still holding strong. They are light with strong ankle support. Pretty stiff sole too. I did switch out the insoles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted June 8, 2019 I have the Wy and the Nevada. If backpacking or rough country go Nevada. If more of an all around go Wy or lots of guys like the summit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues79 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 I prefer a non insulated boot in AZ personally. I bought the Idaho GTX last year after several miendls, danners etc. Crispi, to me, is the best boot I've worn. Awesome feel, excellent ankle support and they wear very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed_az_88 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 I wear the valderas. They seemed like the best compromise between support and flexibility. Best boot I've worn. Two long hard seasons and theyll last one more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Beavers Report post Posted June 10, 2019 I have the Crispi Thor GTX. Most comfortable boot I have ever used. I made them better and threw in a lanthrop and sons insole ( I recommend Lanthrop and Sons ) I know Ross Outdoors stocks Crispi and others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
