I use several pairs of Crispi boots, mainly their Guide and Wild Rock. I bought Salomon XUltra Winter this past year. Excellent tread pattern, stable foot platform, and about 1 lb lighter than my Crispis. The X Ultra Winter has 200 gr Thinsulite. I liked them until the snow got shin deep. Even with gaiters, I would get snow in the boot by working its way up under the gaiter. I'll still wear boots when snow is more than 2-3".
