Where'd you buy if you don't mind me asking? On-line or a dealer?

That's what I should have bought when I bought my last pair off boots. What model are those?

I'm a long way from the mountains here in central Alabama, but have been researching mountain hunting boots for awhile. Planning on a couple of trips starting next year.
Crispi is leading the race as far as reviews go.
Did you try on Kennetrek, Zamberlain, Schnees, or any other brands? I looked at all you listed but we don't have dealers here. I decided on the Nevadas because they were a little cheaper than the Guide. I think I'll have to get used to the shorter boot.
I had Blackovis send me 2 pair, one regular and 1 wide. Went with the wide and they feel good

I tried on a pair of the higher Crispi Nevedas 10-11" non -insulated at a dealer. Felt great in the store? But didn't pull the trigger on them. Mine are non-insulated but the Goretex liner adds a touch of warmth but not much

What made you decide on the Nevada's and why leather over Cordura with Gore-tex? The uninsulated Nevadas are lined with Gore-Tex. I went leather since all my leather boots have lasted longer than the cordura plus every cordura boot I have even after treating them leak and last year pissed me off hunting with wet feet lol.

Figure you've got more experience with that type boot than most. I looked at the flex rating for the Crispi boots. I'm not in a terribly steep area, in fact I hunt low a lot and these boots have plenty of ankle support for steep terrain. I just knew I'd hike a lot and didn't want super stiff.

Good looking boots and I almost bought crispi's but ended up going with schnees I ain't a 100% that there much difference between any of the higher end mountain type boots or maybe I got lucky on my pick

Those look like some good boots. I need some.

Danners boots have all gone to shucks. I hate them now, and I used to wear them religiously. They jacked the price up on the pronghorns to $230 a pair, changed the design, and they leak like hell. Been looking at crispis, kenetrek, schnees, etc. I just want something I can buy and set aside to use for hunting only and not for work and have them last me a while. I hate getting wet feet and I walk a lot while hunting.

I think this is right. Amongst those listed, they are all pretty good. My kenetrek ME are almost a decade old and took a bit to break in, but now only get worn maybe 15-20 days/year and have a bunch of years left.
