  • With the 2023 release of the new CRISPI Briksdal MTN GTX in hand, we set off to establish an adequate early impression by means of five days, twenty-five miles, and five-thousand feet of elevation gain and loss from which to create this video. If you're in the market for a new pair of boots, then perhaps you'll find our $0.02 shared here helpful!

      Hey, Drew! I think you made a solid purchasing decision with these Crispi Boots. Best of luck to you this season, both in harvest and in injury prevention that is! - Forest

    Did you find the boot super hot? I bought it and agree with all your viewpoints. The only issue I had was the heat and ventilation. After being on the trail for a full day of hiking my feet were completely water logged and my socks were dripping wet. Otherwise I love these boots.

      Hi Coby. I haven't experienced any issues with "overheating" or "excessive sweating" with these Briksdal MTNs. I'm also one that generally doesn't have excessively sweaty feet either, so I'll consider that a win in its own right. LOL. Thank you for providing your question here though as it may help others! - Forest

      What was this temp that you were hiking at where your socks were water logged?

      Thanks for the reply, Forrest! Generally, I don’t have sweaty feet either. That is why I was so surprised. I have been using the boots in 90° weather while doing lots of climbing, so it’s possible that I am sweating everywhere, including my feet. I just expected more ventilation and evaporation from my boots as I haven’t experienced this before. Thanks for the great video and follow up.

      @@TheCs1968 You betcha! I'll monitor this aspect with my boots too as the archery seasons approach, and they're worn nearly 18 hours per day. The majority of my training hikes are pre-dawn to dawn this time of year, so I haven't been "getting after it" in 90-degree weather such as yourself. Again, really great question and thank you for mentioning it here for others to consider! - Forest

      @@TheTyrider427 Oops! I wouldn't hesitate for a moment when it comes to recommending the Briksdal MTN GTX. I really enjoy it personally! As for the Nevada NI, I simply haven't worn that model enough to cast an honest opinion on their behalf. Looking forward to it though! - Forest

    Do they have a wide or narrow toe box?
    Thanks

    • @gearfool
      @gearfool  Před rokem +1

      In my opinion, the new Crispi Briksdal MTN has a moderately-wide toe box, as in it certainly isn't too narrow. I personally wear a size 10 (D) in this boot and use a Darn Tough Hiker Boot Sock (Midweight with Cusion). When doing so and with the boot fully laced to my liking, I have adequate pressure on the side of my foot near the base of my toes while the ends of my toes have zero side-pressure. I also have zero slippage in any axis when the boot is fully laced to my liking btw. For comparative measure, I can wear a standard pair of VANS casual shoes in size 10 (D). I hope that this helps. Contact me at 435-263-0170 during standard business hours and I'd be happy to clarify further if that would help you. - Forest

    How do these fit compared to the Guides?

    • @gearfool

      The fit is comparable between the Briksdal MTN and Guide in my opinion. - Forest
