Crispi Nevada vs Idaho vs Wyoming

[doverpack12]

I have been on a search for a high end pair of boots for several years. Crispi seems to have the right shape combined with the heel cup that holds my foot correctly and does not allow heel slip while also providing enough forefoot width. Has anyone used the Nevadas and either the Idaho or Wyoming and have a preference on which they like more and why. I like the idea of all leather for the added waterproof protection and ability to last longer than just gore-tex alone. I have called Crispi and talked to Miles himself twice and he recommends the Nevada even though they are lightly insulated and I plan on using these for mostly early season until whenever the snow and cold force me to wear more insulation. I put on roughly 300-400 miles hunting a year over the course of around 3 months. Most of my hunts are day hunts from the house with the occasional 1-2 night trip. I cover anywhere from a few miles to almost 20 depending on the day. I have always used Merrels because they fit my feet really well and do not allow my heel to slip. I have tried most other major brands around and either haven't tried the right boot from them yet or do not like the fit. Every Crispi I have tried on I like alot. Thanks in advance and feel free to still recommend other boots outside of Crispi.

Crispi, simply the best.

Well the simple answer is I have used them all and they all work great, no I should say stellar, but all could be looked at as having a slightly different purpose.

The Wyoming is the Best for exactly what you are explaining. This is the Perfect early season archery elk hunters boot. The only draw back may be the toe cap stitching on the outside of your little toe will eventually come loose. (2 years for what you have explained) A little shoe glue where the worn stitches are on the toe cap and your good to go again with No loss of function of the boot.

The Idaho will work perfectly as well but will feel warmer and be a little more substantial boot. Built as a non insulated sheep hunters boot with more ankle support, this boot will be more durable in the stitching over the toe cap because of the rubber rand. If you dont mind a drop of glue in the future, go with the Wyomings for the lighter, cooler choice, but the Idaho will last a little longer, give more ankle support, but be warmer, and slightly heavier.

The Nevada is somewhere in between. Not as tall, but warm if your in high temps. Will outlast the Wyoming, but feel definitely warmer, but not to the point most anyone would notice the difference until it reaches 70 degrees.

If you feel a little confused after reading this, its because the three boots will all work perfectly for what your asking. The differences are slight in performance, however if you want short, light and "as all Crispi's comfortable" the Wyoming cannot be beat! Its my favorite early season trekker for exactly what your explaining.
All of that being said, the Nevada and Idaho will outlast the Wyoming in some conditions. You simply cannot go wrong with any of them. They are simply the best most comfortable boot you will ever wear.

Thanks for the detailed information.

Anyone have more input on the Wyoming vs Nevada? I'm leaning toward the Wyoming, but the Nevada seems to get more positive reviews. It'll be used as an all-season boot in WA and early season in MT.

Fit will be the same, they’re made on the same last (mold). Difference is materials, Wyoming is synthetic and Nevada is leather. All depends on if you’re a synthetic or leather boot guy. They both have their place, if they both fit, just pick which one you’d like better. As a general rule, synthetic is going to breathe better than leather, but leather will be tougher and can be more waterproof. Obviously they’re both really nice boots and what I just said was a generalization, but keep that in mind.

Also, FYI, you’re replying to an 8 year old thread. May wanna try posting something new rather than digging up a fossil, just saying.
