Crispi Colorado vs Wyoming II

[coelkhunter89]

Anyone have a recommendation on the Crispi Colorado vs Wyoming II? I’ve got the insulated guides now and love them, but they’re too much boot for archery, summer backpacking and scouting. Looking to round out my options. I’d like something lighter than my guides, but with no loss of support.

Just got my first pair of Crispis, my first stiff boot. I grabbed a set of Wyoming GTX. Now this year I wasn't out West, so no sidehilling in em, but some smaller hills in Wisconsin chasing whitetails and I'd say they surprisingly blew me away. Comfy straight out of the box walking around and hiking, broke in easily and still get better everyday I wear em. Driving in the pickup, the stiffness in the ankle annoyed me, but lacing a little looser til I got out mostly solved that. Up and down some draws and hills, through a stream a couple times and into fresh snow. O didn't get hot in em in warmer fall type weather, did t get cold when it hit winter Temps. Through both weather types I wore merino darn tough socks. These guys that live in em out West can do you more justice on opinions than me, but they made a believer out of me out of Crispi, fixing to order another pair. I ordered my normal 10.5s fit like a perfect glove.

I have been using my Wyo's for a couple years and they have been incredible boots. They are comfy and do well on steep, rocky terrain. I wear them at work year-round here in Colo. Definitely no need for insulated boots! My only complaint is the weight. Both the Colo's and the Wyo's are close to 4 lbs (both boots). I recently bought a pair of Thors. They look and feel a lot like the Wyos but are only 2 1/2 lbs (both boots). This is my 4th pair of Crispis and I really think the Thors are going to be my go-to boots from this time forward.

I've had two pairs of the Colorado, they are my favorite Crispi of the four styles tried, perfect for Idaho and are worn year round everyday doing construction.
Wearing Thors right now but will get another pair of Colorados by archery season, Thors have been a good boot also, just not as stiff of a sole.

Thanks, I think either one would definitely be lighter than my guides. Do you notice any loss of support in the Thors? Thanks!

I have the newer model of Thors and they feel like they have plenty of support so far. I haven't had them in cliff country yet though. I did a search and some guys were complaining about the material eyelets. Crispi must have gotten the hint because my newer model look like the same eyelets as my Wyos. The Thors should be a fantastic boot if they hold up. They feel comfortable and a chunk less weight than my Wyo's. I can't wait to put them through the ringer.

A guy at work has the Valdrez that he really likes. They are just a tad heavier than the Thors. I think they are for narrower feet though. The Valdrez are all leather so probably last longer than others.
