I thought that this forum might be the best place to post this questions.

I am looking for some "everyday", all around boots. I am a big Meindl fan and am
about due for a new pair of light walking boots. I already have good hunting boots but just
want a comfortable pair of lightweight boots.

I am really looking at the Crispi's as I have heard so many positive reviews. Here
is what I am looking at:
https://www.crispius.com/monaco

Do any of you have experience with Crispi? How do their sizes run? I have somewhat narrow
to medium feet. I checked a local dealer and they do not carry this particular model and
therefore, I might take a risk and order these online.

As much good as I have heard about Crispi, my thought is that I may buy their hunting boots in the
future. I thought that this model may be a good test...

Thanks!

Actual the back packing forum has lots of boot threads including Crispi boots

Crispi's are outstanding.
For an everyday bang for the buck you might try Salomon Quest 4D3 GTX. I think I paid about $150.00 bucks for a pair recently.
A lot of ankle support. Lots of great reviews.
Crispi quality? NO! but very good.

Thank you. I just ordered the Monaco and will give them a try. If they are as good as so many people say, I will look at getting some of the insulated ones.

I have also been a big Meindl fan. I'm using Crispi's now. I use the Navada's that are insulated. They also make them un-insulated. They are fantastic boots and size seems to run pretty true. Black Ovis often has them on sale and I've actually picked them up on eBay at a really good price. I think you will love them. Good luck

I am really liking these boots. My son bought a pair of heavier crispi boots on camofire.

I actually like my crispis a bit better than meindl.

I tired Crispi but they were to narrow for me.

I have two, soon to be three pair of Kennetreks. The reason I wear Kennetreks, I have a right foot that is partially paralyzed and rolling it is a concern. I found the Kennetrek helps a lot with that and found to be true. I have always heard Crispi, Mendl were both good boots.

Are any of these stitched sole boots?

Seems like light weight and stitched soles is mutually exclusive traits.

I have Crispi for my every day/light hikers and Kenetreks for my heavy haul hunting boots. If I had to wear either for the rest of my life you'd never hear me complain.

Alright... jumped out and bought a pair of Monacos to try them out. Africa and all-around use in S. Texas. We shall see.

I like my Whites hiking boots. Many years later they are as good as ever.
