Background: I bought some Crispi Wyoming's last winter, wore them snowshoeing and turkey hunting this spring, virtually no issues one tiny hot spot in the spring while turkey hunting. Decide I love the boots and want to prolong their hunting life so I put them in the closet and wait for archery elk. In the meantime I got some 4d GTX for everyday and backpacking to high lakes. I also picked up some green super feet, first couple days between the Solomon's and the sf I wanted to cry, then things settled in and I fall in love with another pair of boots.

Current: Night before the season opens I pull the sf and put them in the crispis, little different fit and feel but still feel great. By noon on opening morning I have blisters on both heels. Next day switch back to the solomans, cover 9 miles, and can't even feel the blisters. I know logic leads me to the solomans, but am wondering if there is a way to lace the crispis to provide the same kind of heel lock the solomans provide. I hate to lose my ass on the crispis and try to sell them, any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert, but if you loved the crispis and didn't have problems using them with stock insoles then the first thing I would do is pull out the Green Feet insoles.

For me, my feet can not do the super feet. I run Asolo's with stock felt footbed and have never had a hotspot. Try them with out the SF.

Just made a short video for you. You may need to turn on the closed captioning to see the instructions I listed. Hope this helps:

I have crispi nevadas and I could not use the superfeet green insoles. I had too much heel slippage with them so I swapped them out for superfeet orange and they feel great. Not sure what the difference was. I also used the cheaper superfeet trail insoles and loved them, they just wore out so I replaced them with the orange.
