I’m due a new pair of turkey boots, but I’m wanting something light weight, waterproof and comfortable. Lace up preferably, as I’ve gotten older I have started spending more money on better boots, and less on toys so to speak. What’s y’all recommendations? Thanks!

Not lace up but going to order the danner sharptails for this upcoming season. I rolled/sprained my ankle 2 summers ago, “like bruised purple and swole up twice the size as my other ankle” getting off the tractor to look at the hay bailer. I’ve about had to go to lace ups now, atleast for walking a lot. I still roll it sometimes if I ain’t careful but I’ll look into some of them

Crispi. They're expensive and worth every penny. Never heard of em, but I’ll check em out.

Not lace up but going to order the danner sharptails for this upcoming season. Saw some of those at Sikes and Kohns today. Sharp looking boots. Right at 2fiddy in price.

I really haven’t worn snake boots in years. I’ve got an annual place to hunt in Texas now for deer and turkeys so I’m gonna get a pair for the prickly plants as well as rattlesnakes

Crispi. They're expensive and worth every penny. This right here, you'll never buy another brand of hunting/hiking boots again. I've got three years of hard use in the deer and turkey woods on my Crispi Summit GTXs and they're still like new (with the exception of being dirty). When they eventually wear out I'll get another pair just like them.

Crispi Wyoming Uninsulated 8" I think or the Idaho 10" Uninsulated.
Little to no break in and fit my heel well.
Like Coosa1 I've used the Crispi boots (Wyoming) for the last two years and my feet really like them for dry or hilly country. Hiked a bunch in Yellowstone last October with my wife and she had some different brand that gave her a tough time. I'll be buying her some sort of Crispi before we go back.
Now mine have been waterproof, but you can't expect to wade creeks or flooded timber. There is a time for full knee boots Muck, Lacrosse. I've just had horrible results the last few pair with coming apart and leaking.
Never a one boot for all hunts in my opinion. I’m gonna definitely look at them, pastures and food plots in the mornings is the main waterproof I need. Most creeks I cross where I hunt and shallow Thanks for the direction guys.

Crispi Valdres Plus GTX is the only Crispi boot I’ve tried. These boots are awesome.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I wear 2 different Crispi boots and can go anywhere my xtra-tuffs and Mucks can go. I add my gaiters. I cross a creek on 80% of my elk hunt with no leakage and I played in lots of puddles bear hunting as well

Yep, a good pair of waterproof gaiters is key with hiker type boots. I've stepped in holes in creeks that were halfway up my shins and the gaiter/crispi combo kept the water out.
