Crispi Boots Overview w/ Aron Snyder

[@robs8116]

Black Ovis Customer Service was a big help when I needed some help picking out my second pair of Crispi boots. I purchased the Crispi Briksdal MTN GTX and could not be happier. The boots fit me perfectly right out of the box.

Great to hear our Gear Experts are helping out. The Briksdal is an absolute favorite. Have a great season out there.

Let’s go!! Glad to see Kendall back with a gear video. Please keep rolling these out. Need more Sitka Gear videos as well

[@BlackOvis]

Kendall is a legend. Yes, more on deck.

[@Welch_Marketing]

I try to always use BlackOvis when I can. The customer service and quality is unmatched

[@BlackOvis]

And hey, maybe we'll start selling more honey and jam! Hmm maybe just hunting gear for now.

Thanks for the review guys and I was really glad to find this boot review video as I was wishing I had asked Aron a few more questions about the boot at TAC in SD the other weekend. Great boots and they fit me great right out of the box to the field.

Great discussion, love these breakdowns.

[@BlackOvis]

Glad it helps, thanks!

Hey I have a pair of Kenetrek hardscrabble hikers and Hanwag Tatra Top GTX. I want to get a pair of crispi. I'm not really sure what I'm wanting to try out. Super light flexible boot or a stiffer one. I prefer non-insulated boots. Any helpful suggestions to get me started would be great.

Been using the salomon quest for years but want to try those altitudes.. that will probably be my next 2 season hiking style boot. I have a bunch of scarpa and la sportiva mountain boots along with some Crispi birkstals (super stiff 'ski boot' and narrow) but for easy days that altitude would be perfect below treeline. I use obenhauf's heavy duty LP and snow seal on my boots. It will mess with the breathability a bit but they will be waterproof.

[@donotgoquietlypodcast]

Would like to know what waterproofing Aaron is using on the non-leather component

[@tyrelpalmerak]

I've had pretty good dealings with Crispi - on my second set of Nubuck Briksdal GTX's because I sent the first pair back for warranty and they got lost at the factory. I will say my one frustration is the glue and having to be worried about them on an evening around a campfire. Was able to build a fire a few nights on my last sheep hunt as we were in and around ALders and found some dead stuff and having to take them off and worry about fire around my wool socks and crocs is NOT ideal. Plus the ability to be able to dry them in an emergency with out compromising them would be huge.

How are these stiffer style boots in a archery situation obviously Aaron is a pretty big bow hunter any thought to these boots on archery stalks?

[@progradepainting3755]

I had a pretty bad experience with the Colorado’s, but I trust Aron’s opinion, so I’m going to give the Briksdal mnt a try.

[@five9eight]

What kind of issue did you have with the Colorados? I just added a pair to the stable.

[@progradepainting3755]

@@five9eight I had the eyelet bust off the boot on the first hike out. To be fair, I only noticed some shotty work on one of the boots, but still, for $400, I expected better. I literally just laced them moderately tight for a short break-in hike, and the eyelet snapped clean off before I even hit the trailhead in them for the first time. All other aspects of the boot seemed to be great. They fit well, the stitching was good, but the eyelets were loose, and not riveted in flush with boot, and the one anchoring eyelet literally snapped in half right after I laced up and took about 20 steps lol. I have never had any boot do that.

What would work for upland bird hunting?

[@BlackOvis]

Lapponia III or the Lite is a great option most our Gear Guides are using for upland

[@andyd9199]

Have you guys used many from LaSportiva?

[@ivankundid4254]

[@matthewkoyt2407]

Late season tree stand hunting?

[@joekelly9369]

Lovely but sole grip is paltry and wears out in a year , the uppers last years ? Need soles like trapper top gtx,s

[@donjuan1212]

The salomon quest 4D doesn't have a deep enough tread
