Hmm not sure I'd like more lug sole on the Lapponia, but maybe? Seems like it would take away from the boots ability to quietly stalk. I can always buy the discount pair now and return once the new model comes out, if i want the new model. Thanks for your help tho, greatly appreciated!
I can get the Lapponia II from MidwayUSA shipped today for $202.50. Is it worth waiting? I feel like this is a deal. Do you know more about the upgraded sole?
Well maybe I should reconsider. I'm looking for loghtweight, with support to pack out when needed, fall elk, spring turkey, and everything between. Considering Valdres, Lapponia, and Altitude. Sounds like Lapponia is the move.
So if I go Valdres i should probably order 10.5 wide to be safe. Also reading the Lapponia 2 runs big, so need to size down a half size to 10. Thoughts?
MidwayUSA is running a great deal right now on both boots
Looking at the Altitudes and Lapponias. I had the Briksdals and they were wayyyy to stiff. I also noticed with how stiff the Briksdals were, they weren't very stealthy or stable/grippy hopping over blowdowns. Any input on the Lapponias or Altitudes for stealth or agility?
Anyone try Hanwag boots? Looking for something flexible, lightweight, waterproof, with support to haul out a heavy load. Most use would be around trout streams, turkey hunting, elk hunting, and shed hunting.
Tried the Crispi Briksdal and they were wayyy too stiff. Felt like I had a 2x4 strapped...
any update on this boot? I'm looking for something lightweight, flexible, and waterproof. Ankle support would be nice as well. I was considering Crispi Altitudes and Schnee Timberlines as well. Mostly will be used for hiking around trout streams, shed hunting, elk hunting, and turkey hunting in...
How did they hold up against water?
Looking for a lighter boot. I tried the Briksdal and they were way too stiff, like having a 2x4 strapped to the bottom of my foot. Looking at Altitudes, Thors, Lapponias, and Schnee Timberline
