I've got a pair of recons I've had for years. Good boots.

Deditos are light and comfortable but I’ve found they don’t last and back to glockners.
Deditos are also better on tracks - quieter to walk on because the sole isn’t as hard.

Well, an update on this and a pat on the back to bushwear - I sent the Crispi boots back, they sent them to the Crispi people in Lockerbie (apparently!?) and they inspected and said that although there was nothing wrong with the size 9 they are a “European 9 and so very snug in the width”…..they also inspected the boots for cleanliness and said they are unworn…so bushwear (give them their due) are giving me a full refund.
On chatting with the guy on the phone, he was saying about other brands and comments on them, he was talking about Mendle’s and how they had an issue with the glue that sticks the sole to the upper and how it was a short term issue that Mendel worked hard to remedy and that since the remedy they hadn’t seen any other issues.
They don’t really stock any other BOA boots which is what I’m looking for so the search continues.
I tried calling the Hillman number but haven’t had an answer three times now so that puts me off them right away!

Have you looked at the Treksta BOA on New Forest Clothing?
Not yet, but while googling I did see these pop up. Are they any good?
No Deditos with the boa system so that rules them out for me.
Sitting lacing up or undoing soaking wet dirty laces is a thing of the past with boa’s now.
I have been on Dedito about two years now , brilliant boots one of the few about that last ! I am an every day user and all i have done is give them a good coat of neetsfoot oil all over at day one . I live on a high ground farm in Bowland, its very wet and muddy - its not like boots get an easy life hereI like the lower height boots - the higher ones seem to give me aches in my calf…
I did see the Dedito ones…will have another look.
I dont get what a boa system is but the entire upper section is speed lace and just the shoe section needs a loosen and they have the wheel type loop , super fast and easy on and off

Think it's been said on here to upsize them compared to your normal sizing a few times.
Had mine,but with the BOA system for 2.5 years and can't really fault them.BOA system superb,straight out of the box comfort and if i would change anything it would be to make the gaiters a couple of inches longer.
Obviously would need a few years more out of them yet but been a superb boot so far.
I tried a pair on at the local farm suppliers and they are very comfy, like slippers, sort of foot shaped and wide so
I’d maybe question how robust they will be but worth considering
Do you know which model you have?
That’s a boa system with the wheel that pops to loosen.
along the foot/shoe section the ones further up are all hooks , really good boots and mine are worn a lot no complaints at all personally
