LaCrosse Snake Boots, year round

when it's really cold, I use Danner Pronghorn but I'm very hot natured and typically only wear New Balance leather cross trainers. Hard to find a comfortable boot for my 14 EEEE feet.

Crispi Hunter.

How does one run boots?

Same thing I am trying to figure out. Maybe it is just my age, but "What boots do you run?" does not make any sense to me.

For the past year and a half, I've worn the Crispi MONACO/TINN GTX. Most comfortable boot I've ever worn out of the box. They have held up great. I wear them to work almost daily along with daily wear at home and hunting. Only thing id change is the tread is very aggressive. Would like more of an all terrain than a mud tire. lol
I might get another pair but been eyeing another pair of Solomons witch I've owned several pair of. Very comfortable as well

I have a pair of Danner Ospreys that I got in 1999. They are still going strong and have been many miles hunting Aoudad in Big Bend to many seasons in the Panhandle chasing pheasant, whitetail and mulies. I had a pair of Mendl Perfect Hunters that went to pieces on me during this same time period after 5 years of use. They never were worn or took hard abuse like the Danners.

I have the Irish Setter Kasota with the BOA lacing system. I love the lacing system and the ankle support and ease of adjustment really makes it nice. There are other makes now with the same system depending on your budget.

Chippewas unless it gets in the 20s or lower, then Cabela's leather insulated.

Id had never really invested in good boots until this year and I got a set of the Crispi, holy crap they are awesome.

If you wear boots you are not cool. If you "run" boots (or a scope, a rifle, bipod, etc.) you are of a "tactical" mindset and therefore a cool person.

Oh yeah 100% guide talk.....

I wear boots.

While you're correct, the statement can be significantly enhanced by replacing whatever the object reference would be - rifle, boots, etc - with rig. For example:

"I run this rig."

In the case of this thread rig would be a pair of boots. That's the equivalent of saying "I wear these boots".

If you hear run and rig together you know you are in the presence of greatness.

I am so uncool.

Now that is funny !!

I'm looking hard at the Crispi Shimeks but still trying to get over the $400 price tag.

I don't know them, but that's what the Danners cost. According to the reviews they're worth it. I've dropped $ on stuff and rarely do I feel that it wasn't worth it. $ on good boots can make or break a trip. Buy them.

I just bought some Keens, 1st pair I've owned

And pig season starts in a few weeks where we walk miles in a night

I will report back

I'm in the same boat PMK, my wide-azz feet keep me from wearing the cool mountain style boots re; Crispi. I can still wear my Chips Snakes but for support I wear a pair of Drew hikers with a custom orthotic. I bought them through my podiatrist.

Chippewa snake boots all year in Texas pasture. Crispi lightweight breathable in September in Montana.

Hanwag makes a real wide forefoot last in ther Ancash II series. It’s basically atleast a triple E because I'm a double and it’s a touch wide for me. It’s a serious boot though

Run no. Walk in Danners.

I wear Danners for work and hunting. I have a pair of Danner snake boots for south Texas and really comfortable for what they are. Wore Danners while in the military in Alaska, really good comfortable boot.

I firmly believe Danner quality has gone to crap. My newest pair had been worn less than 5x when I had the tread separate. I have older Dancers with a lot more wear and tear that have not had that issue.
