Sorry Charlie, that was not the intent. The intent was to make you feel little.

I guess that makes Kenetreks the best then, as they go to size 16.

I don't need 15 or 16...I do need 13 though and per that website, Crispi doesn't make a boot in size 13.
Seems kinda silly to me. Maybe the petite guys are a little more able in the mountains they assume.
 

 

I ware a 13 in most brands as well. That is kinda strange they don't make anything bigger. I also just saw a ad a day or 2 ago on eastmans show about them.

Is that US sizing they have Listed?

[bucklucky]

I guess it is, Id wear a size 41 in European sizes  Im glad they have my size, Id buy a pair for 50% off, thats a smoking deal

I finally got my crispi boots and tried them out. Keep in mind I have only had pronghorns in the past and love the comfort of those just not how I wear them out every year. When I put these boots on they defenitely have a different feel as far as stiffer and the sole is harder. So now we have gone from petite to stiffer and harder!! The front of the boot kind of ramps up so your toes are off the ground it seems like which is a defferent feel than pronghorns but after I wore them a bit I got used to it. THey have great support around the ankle and toe area so no slippage for me at least. I just wore them around town and costco so havent really tested them yet as I wanted to be sure I would like them before I lost the return option. The insole is pretty firm and I may get a more comfortable insole and see if that helps. They look a lot like kenetrek hard scrabbles I think and I assume the quality is real similar but maybe a better price. Speaking of price I got an email saying I shouldnt have gotten the eastmans discount on top of there already 25% off sale which gave me 50% off total but they did honour the price so mine were like $225 with shipping. Now if I just had a BLues hunt to go on I could really give a solid test critic this fall!

Seems like a good deal. They have a descent return policy? I'm just sketchy ordering boots online then not liking the feel.

Ya I was worried about that too. The dealer is in Bend Oregon and he said as long as I didnt scuff them up he would take them back. Problem is walking  in costco isnt much of a test drive .

So I took my new boots for a hike today to give them a real test. Hiked into a lake in the Olympics about 2.5 miles with a pretty good climb to get up there. Fished for several hours standing in water part of the time and hiked out. I would have never stood in the water in my pronghorns because I know I would have wet feet on the way out. The Crispi's  are impressive, bone dry feet and I think they are plenty broke in as there was never a hint of a hot spot and they are basically fresh out of the box. So far I am pleased. nwhunter

Nice, thanks for the report!

[palousemoose]

I've worn mine for two hiking trips for a total of 12 miles and I couldnt ask for a better boot.  Great price, $220, and even better comfort than my previous cabelas boot that were similiar in price.  Get'em while you can!

It looks like they are going to come out on camofire.com soon. if i can find a place to try them on first i might jump on that chance.

Any new reports on the crispi's with hunting season started?
