Those Crispi's are all over the map on price, they even have a factory outlet site for "bargains"
Any model you've tried "better" , or more useful? Won't be Mountain climbing or heavy hiking, just looking for a decent comfortable outside boot....that's not made in China!
Didn't want to go off course on the lousy shoe thread, .... I wear rubber boots most days, and the short pull ons for regular wearing.....
Tried Xtra tuffs, Grundens, Mucks, a couple cheap Chinese brands.....They're all made in China, or "overseas", can't find a pair that doesn't fail in under 6 months, mostly cracks in the uppers where they flex......Doesn't seem to matter if they're expensive name brands or cheap Amazon imports......
So, does anyone, maybe you Alaska or Northwest guys have any luck with this type of boot? any suggestions? Thanks
I think some of the happiest guys around cook and work on their own vehicles , that way they are never waiting on the disappointment that is sure to come with anyone else ding either for you.
Just check out Keen work boots. I've been wearing them for many a year. Break in easy and they just last. Even there short, I guess you could call them a yard boot lasts a long time. The soles are stitched on a lot of them.
I'd stick to the stitched on soles , keens were my worst they fit great , but I would get 6 months and the glue and sometimes material where the foot flexes would give out had 3 pair all do the same thing , each pair seemed to last a couple less months. so I quit buying them. this is a picture from Oct 2023
I am sort of wondering if it is how I walk
the new boots 10/13/2023 just over 1 year of hunting later , that isn't every day wear that is hunting 1 day a week 6 months a year I only got to hunt a month this year the leather split on these about my 3rd day out hunting this fall I shoe gooped them to get some more wear out of them , the insides and bottoms are not bad
Glad to hear you are doing well. Having a lot of family having cancer over the years most recently mom its a scary journey. Hopefully your # stay good for a very long time.
Used pogos and 14 gauge wire for many many years for water trapping, never had one pulled or lost an animal. Only caught 2 otters but they were there. IF i were targeting beaver i did user 11 gauge no issue and feel it would be fine for otter too. Coyote NOPE, 3/32" cable 16 inches never last one due to staking failure.
