Crispi fit info .... Guide vs Dakota

[ceejay]

Very good to know! It’s crazy how different some of these boots fit, how would you ever know until you bought them? I had an issue with a pair of guides that ended up being a half size too small and give my toes a bunch of issues at the end of hunting season. Kind of a bummer thing to find out after the fact with how much they cost, but I guess that’s just the way it goes.

It is very difficult to know until you try them on and the trial and error gets expensive. Even comments from other people only provide so much insight. I am in the process now of deciding on whether to order sheep feet insoles with single of double padding and I am relying on info from other member reviews to help me decide.

Rokslide members are often wanting info about boot fit comparison. I have gone through several pair of Crispi boots and found the Guide (tall version of Nevada) to be the best fit for my foot. Black Orvis was clearing out the Dakota for a good price so I ordered a pair. Attached is a pic which shows a good visual comparison of the fit design. These are both the exact same size (11 M) and as you can see the Dakota has a pronounced curve in the outside of the forefoot which in my opinion looks and feels similar to the Colorado. For some, including myself, this causes narrowing and compression on the outside of the foot around the 4th-5th toe area. For others, this provides a perfect fit. It is all specific to the foot that is in the boot. The Guide/Nevada is definitely more forgiving in the toe box. The Dakota although a good boot, is being returned. Just an FYI for those seeking fit info.

I am a Nevada/Guide boot guy specifically because of the wide toe box.
