Crispi for me. I currently have the Guide, Wild Rock, and Summit. I've owned the Wyoming in the past. Solid boots. Like mtwarden, I have rather average feet and the Crispi last holds my heel and midfoot well while giving me some wiggle room in the forefoot area. I do replace the Crispi "liner" with a real aftermarket insole (Superfeet Guide)

I think one aspect of high end boots alot of guys miss is getting the precise fit of the sock-insole-boot. I have a stack of insoles and socks and mix/match till I get the fit I want. My wife loves the drawer full of $25/pair merino wool socks and 6" high pile of insoles at $40-50 each. <G>

I will say, at times after long mileage days, I can get a hot spot on my heel in all the Crispi's. It always involves alot of up/down in steep terrain. This issue isn't unique to Crispi's for me either. I solved that issue by taping my heel with Leukatape. No hot spots since employing that little trick.


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
