Crispi Alpine Pro SF

[VooDoo6]

Looking for end user feedback on Crispi Alpine Pro SF boots. Technical info claims 5 rating on stiffness. Curious if that’s accurate & overall impression of boots.

I have Crispi Thor ll which are rated a 4 out of 5 & I don’t find them that stiff.

Any user experience - feedback would be appreciated.

TIA

These are brand new, I doubt anybody has any good feedback on them quite yet. I’m curious too though.

I tried them on at Scheels. Fit similar to a La sportiva aequilibrium. They are narrower than most crispi boots but better than most in that type. It’s definitely stiff but I found it to be more comfortable than the Colorado, Thor, or Laponia. Something about where it does flex lined up better with my foot.

Rec’vd boots. Wore them for 5 mi hike in PNW of Idaho. Out of box fit & no break in needed for my anatomical DNA. 1,000 ft elevation change landscape. Performed superbly. Not as stiff as Meindl Alaska or Lowa Tibet & noticeably lighter but slightly stiffer than Asolo Hunter GV or Kuiu Scarpa Pro Rebel GTX boots.

Crispi Alpine Pro SF are similar to Scarpa Rebel Pro K GTX boot in weight & performance.

Alpine Pro SF are a great all season boot. Light enough for summer hot weather & breathe. Tread design works well for steep downhill and has natural rocker for making faster strides in flats. Lacing design is simple & intuitive. Materials are first rate & interesting hexagon textile design used midfoot for breathing. Overall a great boot & you can wear all day if your feet’s DNA work with footbed’s design.

Any more user experiences with this boot?

Do they run true to size or would it be good advised to go up half size since they are a bit narrower?

Going up or down in size to get the correct width in a boot usually isn’t the best practice. Crispis are very true to size in terms of length but most of their models use a wider last. The Alpine Pro uses a different last then most Crispis and is “narrower” then most Crispis but I would still classify it as a D width maybe some could say it’s in between a C and D. If you’re regular width (D) you’ll be fine and just make sure you get the correct length. If you haven’t been measured in a while I would recommend getting measured on a Brannock and going up a half size in length from your brannock measurement.
