Picked up some Crispi Nevada’s and went bear hunting this morning in them. Put in a few miles and felt good. Ankle support was there as well as comfort and waterproofing

Footwear is one thing to never skimp on. Those look like good boots.

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 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.

What made you decide on the Nevada's and why leather over Cordura with Gore-tex?

Figure you've got more experience with that type boot than most.

I bought a pair of those after Christmas in preparation for an elk hunt this year. I've put a bunch of miles on them during turkey season, and they're the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.

8" or 10"?
Insulated or Non

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

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.

Uninsulated 8" Nevadas from BlackOvis.com. Search around and you should be able to find at least a 10% off code for black ovis on rokslide.

Please don’t say it’s so!!! My Danner pronghorns have been with me all over the country but it’s about time for another pair. So the new ones suck????

Crispi Nevadas

I almost went with the Zamberlan but I got a discount on these.

Got from BlackOvis. They sent 2 pair and now after choosing I have a free return label for the pair I'm not keeping and they'll refund me the money for that pair. Uncle Sam paid for them lol

Schnees look really good

MY danners LEAK and are really slippery on wet stuff for me

I love my Kenetrek Mountain Extreme NI boots. I bought some Crispi Valdres for around here to help keep miles off my Kenetreks. I like the Crispi boots, as well.

Those look like durable boots. Do they make them in size 15.5-16?

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.

I really like schnees beartooths I went with 200g insulated. Every time I put them on I wonder why I waited so long to buy them

I liked the kenetrek, zamberlan and the schnees but I couldn't pass up the 20% off and the reviews lol. It also helped that they shipped me 2 pair and a free return label for the size I didn't like. I think they all top of the line. I have 11 miles on here. Yesterday bear hunting I did right at 6 miles and went into the swamp to see how quick my feet would get wet. Bone Dry!!! I even played in puddles a few times. I had on a light weight brush gaiter, not waterproof

I'm gonna try to keep mileage on these because I'm in the woods year 'round. If I can get 3 years out of them I'll be good.

For kicking turkeys on their roost limb...hiyahhhh🥾🦃🌲

Zamberlan Latemar NW. These pop out at me. For mountaineering I've got a pair of Scarpa Mont Blanc and I like those. However the NW constructed boots are way better than their molded counterparts just getting very hard to find

I will second that. I bought a new pair of Quarry for a good price offline. Leather looks and feels fake and no they are not waterproof like they should be.

All the proof you need is right on danners website. Sort the reviews by most recent and get to reading, they turned the pronghorn into a piece of garbage. What was once a fairly affordable, comfortable, and waterproof boot just plain sucks now. I'll never buy danner again.

Danner built it's brand around boots like their Elk Hunter and their hiking boots i.e. the Mountain Light. Those are the good ones. I feel like they have really damaged their brand making cheaper products but I am sure the labor in making a boot like those I mentioned is significant and this would be why nobody makes boots like this anymore. I don't know if you can make good boots on a machine or what the process is but constructing them like a tennis shoe has to be easier. And they last about the same as a tennis shoe.

I really like their Elk Hunters. Very good hunting boots for Turkey or out West hunting. I don't love the bob sole around rocky ground because it is slippery but otherwise they are really nice. I have never heard anyone in my life say they are uncomfortable.
