Crispi Nevada GTX sizing

I bought some Crispi Nevada GTX uninsulated boots in size 12.5 which typically fits me.

They were too long in the toe and had extra space in the heel, so I exchanged them for a pair in size 12 and I thought they felt better.

I wore them out hiking the other day and the width is great, but they still seem too long. Do others find Crispis or least Crispi Nevadas to be longer than other boots in the same size? I'm thinking I probably need an 11.5 or maybe even an 11 in the wide size.

I’ve found Crispi sizing to be all over the place across their different models. As far as the Nevada, when I tried that model on I felt it ran true to length in my normal boot length size of 11. ( i typically wear an 11.5 in most running or training shoes). Everyone’s foot is unique, so it’s entirely possible the 11.5 wide would be a good fit for you.

Do the length test in your 12’s by unlacing them, then slide your foot forward until a toe touches the front of the boot, and see how many finger widths you can get between your heel and the heel cup. 1 finger is good, 1.5 likely fine, 2 fingers boot is likely too long

Thanks for the feedback and tip on checking the length!

I wear a 10 in all of my daily wide toe boxed barefoot shoes so I bought a 10ee. They are definitely a touch long, and their ee sizing just means more volume everywhere. The extra space, both width and length, allows me to wear more cushioned socks which is a bonus and means I have one pair of boots for everything above 0°f.

Thanks. Just to make sure I understand you - Are your daily shoes an actual wide size or are they just wide in general? I wear Altra shoes because I like the zero drop and wider toe box, but I buy them in the standard width.

I wear Altras, Lems, and Bedrocks for my daily shoes in standard width.
