2023 Crispi Briksdal MTN

[Turkeygetpwnd38]

I just got a pair after a warranty on some wyomings. Just starting to wear them but have some late desert hunts coming up, will keep an eye on them and update.

Update. I thought I was out of the woods after about 40 miles in S Texas but after a week in AZ they are separating like above.

I want to try these boots out but not for the healthy price tag if they are going to fall apart on me. Did they make any changes for 24?

I just got an email from Black Ovis with what looks to be Crispis new releases. I don’t see any changes in the Briksdahl MTN. Looks like they put an actual hook on the Lapponia instead of that crappy fabric lace loop

I can’t imagine why they don’t put a hook on the Briksdal Mtn. Does anyone use the fabric lace hook? I can’t imagine it holding up.

I have and haven’t had any issues, but then again I haven’t got a pair past 6 months yet.

Aside from the rand separation, any comments on the waterproofness of the MTN boots with the synthetic uppers? Looks like they changed the synthetic upper for 2024 to microfiber so maybe that will solve the rand separation issue.

Thinking about trying the MTN SF (which I think is the same upper) for AK goat hunt in Oct. Thanks.

Did they change it? I thought only change was superficial/color.

I’ve never had them leak. Certainly had way too many issues with the rands. I’m in a similar debate and love synthetic, but would let climate dictate. If you’re drier area SFs all day. But leather is likely better for lots of wetness.

Does the MTN have any flex at the ball of the foot and ankle once broken in or are they like wooden Dutch clogs. I’d be walking flat ground.

Yes, but they also have a severe rocker profile so much so that the toe is not touching the ground. The boot “rolls” easy on flat ground. Comfort and waterproofness are truly impressive. Durability questionable.

Anyone have a pair of these that the rand hasn't detached? I tried some on and loved the fit. They felt better to me than the Nevadas. I want to try some but if there's no hope for durability, I may go with the Kennetrek Hardscrabble Hikers.

You ever make any moves on these? Considering trying them as well.

Yes. After trying about 10 different other boots.I did settle on these. Very comfortable out of the box and not sure they even need a serious break in period. I have been wearing around the yard and some light trail hiking and have stood in a creek over my ankles and stayed dry. I like them a lot. I did have a little trouble with the sizing.The 10.5 was too big And I thought the 10 would be perfect but it fits a little on the small side.
The Hanwag Alverstone II had the best lacing system but just didn't seem stiff enough for my purposes.

Appreciate the feedback. Have you tried the regular briksdal in the past?

No. I tried Scarpa Manta tech, Zamberlan 1093 ?? I think, Schnees Granite, cant remember the others. Hanwag Alverstone II was very nice but had to go up to 11 wide for.fit And it probably would have worked just fine but I wanted something even stiffer.So I went with the Crispi.

FYI, just saw Midway has these on sale for $384, free shipping

More data for this thread. Trying to send a pair back after 80 miles on 4 hunts. Rand started separating and the boots leaked on my last hunt in 1-3 inches of wet snow. I was able to swap to my Crispi guides at the truck and stayed warm and dry the rest of my hunt.

Will update once I hear back from Crispi customer service.

Well, I ended up buying a pair of these last summer because the fit felt so good, and I used them quite a bit scouting in the summer and hunting in the fall. I'd bet I put 50 miles on them. After 30 or 40 I did put some Sofsole inserts in them which was a good move. On my multi-day elk hunt I crossed a knee deep river each morning and night with gaiters and had dry feet the whole time. So far I've loved them.

I put them on for my first spring hike a couple of weeks ago, and upon returning noticed a 1/2" section of the rand separating in the inside of the left foot. I called Crispi and got a email with a warranty form and case number for me to send them in, but they did want the proof of purchase with the date because the warranty is good for 1 year. I sent them in, and the re-glued the rand and sent them back. They seem great, but we'll give em he'll thus summer and see what happens. I did ask what glue they use for re-attaching the rand in case it happens again outside the warranty window. They told me to use Sapbond.

I bought pair in September of 2024. Haven't put a ton of miles on them, but I wore them on multiple training hikes and a 12 day late season hunt. No rand separation or leaks so far. I'm wearing them for spring bear so I'll get more miles on them soon.

A little late on my update.

Received a new pair from Crispi on warranty claim. Ended up selling them on classifieds and going for the old all leather Briksdals.

Shame because I really liked the fit and performance of these boots. If they fix these rand issues I’d happily go back to these boots.
