Crispi boots

After 15 years in my Kenetreks, I needed a new pair of boots.
My Kenetreks required a lot of stretching to fit my wide foot, and once broke in performed very well for all these years.
I bought the new Corrie 3.2 hiker in wide, and found that they just didn't fit right, and the different top cut into the back of my calves.

So I went looking. I almost bought the Crispi Summit GTX II.
I ended up with the Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX. So far they are the most comfortable boot I have tried on out of the box. Will see how they really perform once I start hiking in rough and steep terrain.
 
Scarpas are great boots but if you have wide feet I'm guessing you got the wide ones.

I destroy boots quickly due to the nature of my work. I got kailashes this season, which I went for the kinesis because the toe caps are coming off after 4 months in fairly open forest. Had the same issue with the old Romanian ones. Next pair will be kinesis pros

I like them because I have skinny feet
 
Well I went to my local Mark's and no stock. In fact she had never heard of them.
She looked & apparently no Mark's in Canada has them in stock. But she did figure I could order them online. So I'll probably head back with my wife's c/c and order 2 pair as I stated above. But I gotta tell ya the Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX sound mighty interesting.
 
Update.

they re great but not wider as crispi and cannot handle too much of abrasive rocks.

yeah fair call on the rocky stuff up high altitutde etc---- ive got them for the more forest type stuff i do down here in south east australia in the "mountains " , that can br from Farm land to alpine stuff but nothing like rocky NZ country etc.!!

ive put them thru a few paces now, mostly mud lol.

i need to put some form of water proofer thru them, they are staying dry now but it just wouldnt hurt to keep some conditioner to them!?
