Diotto crispi top
@dtom420 7 ай бұрын
By any metric, Crispi boots are 3X better constructed than any Lowa Boot. The 2 boots you compared are built for totally different purposes and comparing them is ridiculous. Coming to a ‘this “brand” is better than the other from such a comparison is equally ridiculous. The fact you don’t know why the Crispi’s are more waterproof shoes that you haven’t read any literature, watched any videos or done ANY research on the construction of these boots. So, how in the world is someone to take your analysis seriously?? FWIW - Crispi and some of the other SERIOUS mountaineering boot manufacturers use a seamless gore-Tex bootie that’s inserted into the boot and glued in place without a single stitch puncturing the membrane. LOWA uses the typical method found in cheaper hiking boots- they use a piece of goretex that only drapes over the top of the foot and is then glued and sewn to the sole. THAT is a weak point where leaks INEVITABLY occur. Spend a little time looking into Crispi boot construction. Look, I’m not saying Crispi is the best for all scenarios, although they make my go-to boots for most mountain hunting; but compared to Lowa I don’t see how Lowa could come out on top. Crispi is one of the brands to buy for 10-20 years and have re-soled as needed. I’m a full time, year round professional hunting guide. I’ve been fortunate to have hunted all over the world over the past 35 years. Given that, I have tried MANY boots and have, personally, settled on Crispi to keep my feet healthy and happy in extreme places.

You'll notice I do mention that they are totally differnt boots on about 3 occasions. Anyway thanks for your input sounds look you know your stuff 👍
@tobyskilton8920 7 ай бұрын
For someone looking to get into hunting for the first time these are both pretty pricey. Any good cheaper options?
@bevanbolger7284 7 ай бұрын
Tough question as my main recommendation for anyone is to buy the best boots your budget can afford. That way your feet are comfortable, dry and the boot lasts longer. A cheaper set may last 1/2 as long as a more expensive set of good boots so you end up spending the same in the long run.. And then it comes back to the use case as well. If someone was still looking at going cheaper then maybe start doing some research in the area of scarpa boots.
@michaellong1169 7 ай бұрын
Depending on where you hunt consider temp and moisture. In wet colder areas always go for a rubber insulated. Not sure where you are but for warmer/dryer climates I wear a Blundstone/Chelsea type boot. Military surplus boots are great also and some have Gore-tex for less than US$100.
@hardantlerhunting9691 7 ай бұрын
Mate, if you get yourself a pair of Crispi GTX or Hunters and compare them to the tibets (apple for apple) you'll be a Crispi man forever.

As I said in the video I could easily swap between the two. If the lowa don't last then I'll definitely be heading back to the crispi's 👍

If you have nz topomaps - find a public land spot around lake pukaki you can comfortably around in. If you are going in winter look out for nannie groups - a bull will be not far away. If in spring (November is a good time) stay lower than you think. Like clock work at 4-5pm you'll start to watch the animals drop down to the new growth.

@@bevanbolger7284 The wider area is as interesting as the feet and a few tahr. Whether the mobs are not seen or edited out to try to protect them (hunters doing pest control) is another situation of interest, as is other species (if) encountered. Does show some of the current veg to good effect in very localised sites. The wider basins and bluffs in the open, and panoramas of the bush canopy are also interesting to see in their current condition, as is recent erosion. Some of that bush there has "character" and doesn't look any nicer with time.

Hi Tim, Haven't bothered to get him aged. Potentially taken taken 1year too early - don't really feel like he would have got dramaticly better if left for another year though. Bay tines - tight and pretty weak. 36inch so still shy of the 40inch mark. Maybe another year would have put him over 40?
