Been using my lowa renegades the last few years and love em! Grabbed a pair of Crispi Thor’s this year and still trying them out. So far though, I prefer the Lowas.
Another Kenetrek vote. I love mine, and never have had any issues, other than the price.I have always liked the Danner pronghorns, they fit and feel great, but they just don't hold up. I still own a pair, but I wouldn't take them into the backcountry.
I have been using Crispi since before they were cool. So far I haven't had a boot not fit me well, I am currently using the Thors and Nevada. I prefer not to have "all around" boots but if I did the Summit would be my pick. I have tried the all the big names in their flagship models and none have been as good of fit and function for me.

So far though, I prefer the Lowas. Just fyi IME the Thor is actually quite rigid. I have not used a renegade, but I would not be surprised if it is a stiffer profile. I put a lot of miles on the thors in the backcountry of Idaho in September and while I wouldn't call it overkill I could tell my feet weren't used to a boot that stiff. I typically don't need that much support and stiffness. It did loosen up over time, but its hard to see looking at the boot construction and weight.
