Ive ran the hunter gtx for the last 4 years.  They run true to size for me.  There the most comfortable boot I've ever tried.  After 4 seasons there holding up extremely well.  I reseal them once or twice a season and have yet to get back to camp with wet feet.

My feet got wet last week and I finally decided to buck up and get some quality boots.

They are the only boot I have ever had to buy a size down. I wear 12’s in everything. I bought 11.5 in crispi’s. I tried the Nevada’s. Returned them and fell in love with the lapponia’s.

I wear between 11 and 11.5 but found a pair of 11 on sale and went with them. Hopefully same experience as you had.

Love mine. Have the Nevada & Summit. Want the Thor.
Ive had alot of top brand and these are all I want now.
 Since there was no dealer near me, what I did was put my bare foot down on paper and traced it.  I called black ovus and spoke to their crispy rep and gave him the exact foot measurements and he got me the correct size I needed. They fit perfect out of the Box

I got a pair of Crispi Wyomings and they were some of the most uncomfortable boots I have ever worn. Customer service was great and they took them right back.

I use Lowa Renegades or Lowa Tibets depending on season and am done with the boot search.

Crispi are the only "high end" boots I have used that I feel I have gotten my money out of. But durability is very low on my priority list so take that for what it is. Lots of guys want a 400 dollar boot to last twice as long as 200 dollar boot. My experience is that that's unrealistic for me. I want a boot that will keep water out as long as possible, and for a reasonable amount of mileage in that boots intended use. Along with increased comfort and or stability. Crispi has satisfied those requirements for me. I will continue to use them. I have used the summit, the thors, the nevadas, and another I forget. Summits have been my favorite.

Any recommendations on a good leather oil to treat them with?

Thanks, I'm pretty sure they attend the sheep show in Reno so I'll hopefully get to try a few different models on.

Dissapointed to say the least.
Nevada uninsulated.

First they sent me three pairs of Dakota's that were lemons with odd defects right out of the box. Misshapen lumps or the liner falling inside the boot.

Then I told them I wanted my money back which they obliged and offered me a boot discount for my trouble.

Enter the Nevada .

Comfy, true to size and out of the box I liked the build. Reminds me of my favorite boot, the meindl island.

I was very interested in the ABSS but it's not supportive. Basically just cushion around the ankle.

They don't breath so they stunk up fierce and fast.

I liked the tread but had to have them resoled halfway through the first season because chunks we're coming off the tread.

They started out 6-8 hours waterproof but here after 50+ days in the field they are only about 1 hour waterproof walking in the rain.

They aren't stiff enough for my liking but that is probably a selection issue.

I use crispis waterproof cream and quality Gators.
