Cripsi Nevada's (non insulated) have been my go to boot for years. No break in period, comfy, and great ankle support! Handcrafted in Italy. #boots #gearreview
Gotta treat the leather with oil and maybe wax to keep it thick an supple, avoiding cracks. For the front tow clip on the second sole, take them to a cobbler, get them to stick them together with some professional adhesive - they have the good stuff - and then he, or you, sew the front to the boot with thick waxed leather sewing thread. Then treat the thread with some semi liquid silicone like Nikwax Aqueous or Sno-seal to penetrate the seams and prevent any chance of water getting in.
considering getting the idahos cause i live in hawaii and apparently theyre better in the heat, but these look good too
Yeah that’s a good idea. These do get hot in the summer time here, but my feet run hot and I use these through the fall into November!
Have you ever tried the Schnee Beartooth? I’ve been trying to decided those and the Crispi Nevadas.
I haven’t tried the schnees!
Can you compare sizing to Danner? How do you compare the sizing?
I haven’t had a pair of danners in a long time but if I remember right I went a half size up when I went to crispis

I treat them, but once they’re cracked and have holes no treatment will make it waterproof again.
