Reviews & Ratings for Crispi Guide GTX Backpacking Boots - Men's — 6 reviews — Page 1

I bought some kenetrek boots recently and was having a issue with my pinky toe rubbing. After doing some research and calling crispy to verify that these in fact do have a wider toe box I ordered these. Based on other reviews I had found that these ran a little short. I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly. No issues with my toes rubbing. I worked them with my hands a little and they are already pretty comfortable. I wouldn’t see a need to break them in any more.

Great overall boot this is my second pair. Very comfortable with little break in period. The goretex waterproofing seems to hold up better than other boots I have used. Only reason for 4 stars is the soles wear quicker than expected. Mine lasted 1½ years of heavy use before it needed resoled. The rest of the boot was fairly decent yet.

Instantly can tell they are well made boots. They feel awesome out of the box. I've only worn them around my property, but they feel like a perfect fit. I'm guessing very little to no break-in, won't be afraid of racking up the miles soon. Excited to get them in the mountains.

Hello All,
These are the best boots I have ever tried and they are very comfortable from the start! What negative things folks have been saying does NOT apply and I had no trouble whatsoever with my order of Crispi Guide GTX Insulated Boots. No misguided fears, no delays, no backorders when the website said it was available in my size. Not a single problem. I read a lot of their reviews and it seems as time went on, the company got themselves together and did things right for their customers. I got the boots within a few days and was very pleased that they are authentic and brand new. Yes, first rate and not seconds! First, they do fit very well. I would say that if you are borderline 10.5 to 11, then go with the upper limit size and wear thicker socks to accomodate. I wore a pair of thick Dickies socks that are relatively thick for athletic socks and it made the fit just right for my feet. Granted, I have not put them through the paces of a real trek, I can tell they will be just fine. If you have ever tried on a pair of boots and knew they were perfect, then this is it! I also went with the insulated boots with the relatively light 200grams of insulation. I also went with the larger size incase I had to wear thick wool socks someday in the wild. I live in Hawaii but plan on taking a trip to hunt someday. At least my feet will be well prepared. I do not plan on doing the solid week or more in the woods camp/hike/hunt trip but go by atv and hike for a bit from dawn to dusk. ...

The Crispi Guide fits me better than any boot I’ve owned. I have used the Lowa GTX Extreme for a long time thinking they are the most comfortable - but now that I’ve tried the Crispi Guide my mind has changed. The Crispi has a nice roll forward as you walk and the stitching and quality are top shelf. These just fit all around my foot almost like a running shoe, but with all the support needed in a mountain boot.
