My hunt is booked for 2023; Brooks Range as well
I've been using Crispi Thor II's for the last couple of years here in Montana, decently stiff for a relatively light boot and very comfy for my feet- roomy toebox (my number 1 concern!), yet the midsole and heel firmly hold my feet with no slop. I put 500+ miles on them in a season, even some of those miles loaded with meat
I'm super impressed with the boot.
Evidently the Briskdal is made on the same last as the Thor, so I'm going to give those a go as I want an all leather boot
I agree with the above poster to glue/seal the rand right off the get go.
Good luck on your hunt!
