Crispi Guides/Nevada Insulated vs Non?

[AvalancheFan71]

It’s time for me to pick up a pair of new boots. Looking at either the guides or Nevada. I hunt mostly Colorado and during late/rifle seasons. Would you give one or the other the nod? insulated or uninsulated?
Thanks!

I've got the uninsulated Nevadas. I wouldn't want to wear any insulated boots unless I was going to have a lot of stationary time or hiking through snow but my feet sweat profusely.

You're safer with non-insulated. I have a pair of insulated Guides and uninsulated equivalent-model Schnees. For a late rifle season, I use the insulated Guides, but I wouldn't be suffering at all with the non-insulated. A normal-weather Sep or early Oct hunt in insulated boots is much worse.

I have owned both and I never run insulated boots my feet tend to get warm very fast so sweating is my bigger issue. I prefer the Colorado’s but either one of your choices are good.

I gave the Colorado’s a look but I was worried about the water resistance/snow. Think they’d hold up well in wet conditions?

Much appreciated. I’ve only used non-insulated but I was concerned about hiking through snow which is what led me down the path of even considering insulated. Any preference between the guides and schnees?

I wear them in snow and rain and they hold up really good. I think I am on my 4th pair.

Nope, they are both top notch. However, Schnees does seem to have better sales and more often.
