Thanks for the review. Love the set of sheds in the background too.
Thanks for the review man I went with scarpa this year they are like your Crispi summits but iv been looking at the zamberlas
I came for the Hanwag! put a decent insole in them, they need that to make them more comfortable and then...BOOM! You have the best boot out there!! Especially my favorite Tatra II :) Happy new year!!!
Can definitely agree to your positive picture drawn about the Zamberlan Boots…..
Thanks for the review man
I just purchased my 3rd pair of Zams. Comfy out of the box, great soles, quality one piece leather = no leaky seams or tongue. Can be resoled. Handmade beauties.
Have a pair of the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400 gram thinsulate. I have a narrow heel but put in a set of danner heel cups. Solved the problem. Don't know if they still make them.
Subbed. Great review man
Just got a pair of zamberlans because of foot pain and with some custom insoles its now almost completely gone. If you have narrow heels they get too much space to move around and your bone structure starts shifting and causing discomfort. Zamberlan has both a good curve on the heel and a more narrow heel which solved 80% of my issue pretty much.
If you have foot pain and a starting minor, painful protrusion on the back of your heel I highly, highly recommend them.
Same here with Kennetrek. Hot spots lasted half as long as my Crispi. Just ordered Hanwag.
Hey, bigfoot stopped by earlier. Says you can have his lunch money if only you'd stop giving him wedgies. 😂
Thanks for the review, I've been looking at getting the Kenetrek mountain guide. I really like having that ankle support, but I hope I don't have the same heel issue you have. Which boot would you say does not accommodate a wide foot?
To be honest I couldn’t really say about the wide foot, but the Kenetrek definitely is pretty snug around my foot so you might want to go with a wide size if that’s the boots your wanting
Thanks for the review 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I had a hard time getting my Kennetrec broke in but after that I love them. I dont have an arch either but had to put in an arch support. Mine were the wildland fire boot so might be a totally different set up.
Ya it took awhile to break mine in as well, they are super comfortable now it’s just the heel issue that makes it hard to hike in them
@@backrhodesoutdoors9917 When you lace up, skip the second bottom spots. Go to the third row of brackets and loop back down to the ones you skipped. Then go up to the fourth brackets up. Are you wearing a liner sock and then merino wool over them?
@@20cameron1 I will have to try that lacing technique. I just wear normal socks but it is not a blister issue, but a pressure issue with my heel
@@backrhodesoutdoors9917 👍 Do the double sock system as well-will take care of hotspots and keep your feet dryer. I use wigwam lite hiker socks for liner and Farm to Feet Boulder socks for merino wool.
Which boot has held up with waterproof and feet staying dry?
I just bought a pair of Zamberlan 4014 LYNX MID GTX RR BOA. Most comforably snug boot I've ever worn.
Which do you think are the best fit for true to size and wide feet. I've never owned a boot over 150 dollars like rocky gore-tex and they fell apart in a year. I'm ready to buy a quality boot. I'm short and burly with wide feet...lol... do you treat your leather on boots once a season with wax/oil for waterproofing... glad I found your channel. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
I would say all of the boots are pretty true to size, I am flat footed and my foot isn’t super wide so not sure if I can answer that 100% correctly, i absolutely love the Zamberlan 980 Guides, probably my favorite boot I own, I don’t treat my boots every year, probably should but I haven’t had any issues with them leaking or anything either
ALT-BERG make boots on a G-fit Last specifically made for people with wide feet, especially in the forefoot area. Look up the Kisdon. Their non G fit or A fit boots come in 5 sizes from very wide to very narrow.
Other than that, Hanwag make a boot meant for wider feet, but it's a tight around the midfoot and heel last. It's called the Ancash II ( be aware that the Ancash I was built on a normal size last though ). The Ancash II is built around a Straight Fit Extra last, which has the characteristics I just mentioned- tight around the heel and midfoot, wide at the forefoot and the balls of your feet. The Straight Fit Extra last is 12mm wider than their normal last.
I don't own any of them but I am undergoing a research phase in order to get the best boot for myself.
Hope I could be of service.
Have a good one!
I use Lowa, I’ve had all of the brands you have mentioned, all great boots, Meindel makes a robust boot as well
If you get heel pressure on ascents that means they are too small
Quick question…if you wear size 11 or whatever size, do you have to upsize or downsize when buying any of these brands?
No, all of these boots are true to size based on my experience with them
Perfect! Thanks for the quick reply.
I find the kenetreck fits perfect great support warm not flat footed...smiling as we're all different 😉....Vasque boots are great ass kicking had a pair for 15 yrs...people admired the wear....hahahaha always in view of someone 😉 😀 😄 😜 👍
Easy pick...ZAMBERLAN
I live and hunt interior Alaska. I had a pair of Thors that had cloth ankle eyelets that tore out after a sheep hunt. Crispi authorized repair with new cloth ankle outlets and would not let their cobler replace with metal eyelets...those cloth eyelets tore out again after less than 100 miles in the Alaska Range. I will never buy Crispis again due to their poor customer support.
Kenetrek, Scarpa, Lowa, Zamberlain, Asolo, LaSportiva, Schnees have better quality boots and much better customer support.
That is sad to hear. I have honestly not had any issues with my Crispi boots, so I don’t know about their customer service. Hopefully they have improved this.
I second that do Not get Crispi Boots I get some Kentrek
Any of them stand out as better for wide feet?
I am not sure I could answer that honestly, I don’t really have a super wide foot. I will say that the crispy summitty is definitely a tighter fit so that probably would not be an option
@@backrhodesoutdoors9917 thank you
Which has the better waterproofing
I’ve never had a problem with waterproofing on any of them, it’s pretty dry here out west, but with stream crossings and snow never had an issue
Has anybody compared zamberlain with Nick's boots? What do you think?
I don’t have any experience with Nicks Boots, but it doesn’t look like they make an actual hunting boot so I’m not sure you could compare the two brands
@@backrhodesoutdoors9917 true, thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.
What brand of vest are you wearing in this video?
It is VUNI gear, they make some nice stuff
Love my crispi nevadas
Too bad you did not include Red Wing/Irish Setter in this review. They are half the cost and will hold their own against these "High End" boots.
I’m wearing Hanwags right now! I like my trapper tops for late elk hunts. I have had those trappers for since 2007, and they are just as strong today as in the begging. They do need to be worn in, does not take long though. I like a stiffer boot, just seems to hold up on alpine hunts a bit better.
That would be a mid top guy...not a low top
420. 65 thank you Jehovah 😊 he cares for me so much...knew I was truly in need of boots.....in the right place at the right time. Again and again I see his hand in my life....I was denied the car of choice not 1 but3 times I begged....NO HE SAID
How dare you speak I’ll of Kenetrek. Let’s fight.
It's pronounced "VEE-BRUM"
