Crispi boots worth the money?

[Backyard]

What part of those insoles make you feel like they are a well thought part of the boot? Lol.

What shoe company in general do you know that makes amazing insoles that match the quality of the shoe? Do some work? Sure some are OK. But no one makes the insole a well thought out part of the entire design of the shoe.

You’re missing the point all together bud. But you go on with your ridiculing me if that makes you feel good.

I hear you. My only issue is they are an extremely thin strip of felt. Any insole you purchase will be at least twice the thickness if not more. So if you buy a pair of boots with a good fit, once you add an insole they may be too tight (what happened to me). If I had known that going in, it would have not been that bad. But when you have an almost brand new ~$400 pair of boots that are too tight with comfortable insoles and and extremely uncomfortable with the stock insoles you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Unfortunately, those stock insoles feel fine in store and walking over easy terrain. 2 miles in on the trail is when you first notice it (2 miles too late to return them)

Do any boots/shoes actually come with a good insole??? The manufacturers just throw those shitty ones in boots because they “break in” quickly. I looked last night at my crispis, zamberlan’s, Lowas and scarpas. None of them had a factory insole any better than another, they are all thin, flimsy and wear out quickly. The crispi was no worse than any other insole.

That's now what I meant to do man. I just think it was funny that they're such an incredibly crappy product and you're defending it. I do apologies if I offended you.

Again, you’re missing the point. I’m not defending anything. Let me explain this in detail for you:
They put a crappy insole in their quality boots because they know that the majority of buyers will replace them with higher quality insoles of their choosing immediately after buying them. No sense in spending money on something that will get tossed out right away anyway. They save money in the manufacturing therefore a larger bottom line. This is a fairly common practice.
And again, my Nevada’s are awesome! Even after I replaced the insoles.

With black Friday coming up possibly gonna but some crispis. Are they worth the expensive price tag for the ones that have them?

If you are considering Crispi boots maybe see if you have a sportsman warehouse close to you. You could try some boots on there. Or if possible, order some online and wear them around the house. If you don't like them, you can return them. I've been lucky that the four pair of Crispi boots fit my feet. Also, there are some great videos on You Tube that discuss the different boots and how they are built. Also, a what I have learned is try upsizing and try wide's. Everyone's feet are different. So, your feet may or may not like them. It may seem expensive but invest in on what makes you and your feet happy.

I have Summits and Nevada's, sometimes I feel the Sumits are better comfy lightweight cheaper, then I go to the Nevada's and they have a lot of support and stability compared to the Summits. The Nevada's are snug in my normal size thick socks are tightish.
