I’ve heard numerous not so good remarks about Crispi. Hard to beat Kenetreks if you prefer “stiff”. My personal favorite are Lowa Renegade GTX’s. Best boot I’ve ever hunted in. Zero break in, very comfortable, hold up very well. Stiff...but nowhere near as stiff as others. I’m on my 4th year and won’t need a replacement pair this fall.

You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
