Crispi Lapponia Pro vs idaho

[Thor66]

What are your thoughts on the Idaho 3s vs Lapponia Pros? They both look good but the Idaho is heavy and taller (similar to kenetrek) but seems to have the wide toe box i like in pics

I have a pair of altitudes, they dont fit well toes are to tight.

I have salomon quest 4s (have had them blow out in the past and they dont last me long) I have a pair of kenetreks that are awesome but somewhat heavy.

I have run rhe Idaho 2s the past 5ish years? They are awesome. In fact I use them in the summer on backpack fly fish trips. I blew my Achilles out a few years back. They protect it well. Stiff but not 2x4 stiff.

I run the Lapponia lites the past few years as my daily drivers. Super comfortable. Just stiff enough. I bird hunt in them a lot. They have held up great! Way more durable than the Salomons, as mine only lasted one hunt.

Do you think that the idahos are a little overkill to use as a Midwest whitetail boot and early elk?

Nope not at all. They go on archery and rifle hunts here in CO. Obviously dont them for whitetail but would not bother me to wear them.

I use the Lapponia , but I don’t think you could go wrong either way. I just prefer them not as stiff.

Any thoughts on the summit 2? Its on sale and seems to have a wide toe box

I own both. The Idaho is my dedicated hunting boot for backpack trips, steep country, and any time I’m carrying weight. The Lapponia Pro is my scouting boot, my early season boot, and what I grab when I’m doing a day hike with light gear.

If I had to pick one, I’d keep the Idaho. It’s the more capable boot for the hard stuff, and it’s still comfortable enough for longer approaches. The weight is worth the support when I need it. But I’ll be honest, on days when I know I’m covering miles on trail without a heavy pack, I reach for the Lapponia Pros every time.

Are you sure you're talking about the Lapponia Pro's? Because it sounds like you're saying you have a lot of experience with them and they've only been available for 1 month.
