Crispi boots. Comfortable as well as super quality

Summer Iturri ,winter Haix cold weather both ex army.
Well made hard wearing and just keep going

Personally I think all “stalking” boots are over priced crap made for fat blokes on the continent who stand in driven stands. Personally think any of the mountain brands crispi, scarpa, Solomon etc are all better suited to stalking and a damn site more practical for everyday life.

Another vote for army surplus boots, good quality and a sensible price, under £100. My present pair are three years old now still waterproof, comfortable and quiet.

Aku Pilgrims. Like slippers.

Dedito Moorland

May take a bit of time to break them in but superb for the terrain up here in the NW Highlands.

My go to are Lundhags professionals, brilliant boots, but totally agree with @Rasputin above about the mountaineering brands being better value and more fit for general purpose than the obsessions with “stalker specific” offerings just to be seen in the right gear.

I wrote this a few months ago. No such thing as a Best Boot. Very much depends on the user and his own particular circumstances.

Some thoughts on Footwear and Boots

We keep getting the “what’s the best boot for stalking” question and its really almost impossible to answer. I am just old enough to remember when the basic boot was a variation of the Army boot with a combat sole. Or a desert boot or as us Africans called them - fellys. And we had dunlop...

Have the Crispi highland boot and it’s a game changer. Lightweight and just as waterproof as my wellies without the sweaty feet. Expensive but dry feet all weekend is worth every penny in my book at least.

When my dovre extremes finally die I will be getting some Crispi. Can't recall the product name but the ones with the integrated boot gaiter, cracking idea and looked well made

Alt berg Kidson - the first time ever I've had boots that actually fitted my wide feet - didn't know how much I was putting up with with narrow boots like Scarpa - great boots just not right for me....which leads to the crux with this thread - the boot that fits your feet is always going to be the right boot for you.

I also rate vivobearfoot forest tracker for lowland woodland stalking - like moccasins, great for creeping around woodlands.

That's

That's the highland boot. Highly recommended.
