Laponia discontinued

[Benjblt]

I agree with you- the sole was the crux. I always rotated them out to keep them fresh for hunts haha.

The Thor has the same sole and that exactly what I think.

 

[V-TRAIN]

They have the new ones on their site now.
Looks like they now will have a light version also. I will probably order some of those. Looks like the new ones will be out April 1st.

Lapponia Lite in brown??

Edit: please sweet sweet 7lb 8 oz beeby jesus make them in Wide/EE

 

[BDRam16]

I must but the only one who enjoys the lighter weight sole. Running the Thor II with the same one and it’s my favorite boot. Was debating on grabbing the Lapponia for when I don’t need something as stiff as the Thor.

 

[ChrisAU]

Would appear the Lites have the same sole as the II, think they are just II’s in a different color. Which is perfect IMO.

I really like the new sole on the III , but that lite is lookin reeeeal nice. Good roll out imo

Yeah, and 6” vs 8” boot…
I’m digging the options. Really wanted to try another pair of Altitudes since they’ve started offering them in a wide, but the Lites are appealing.

Ahhh hadn’t noticed that. Dang. I’m still gonna give them a try.

I have 2 pairs or the original Lapponia’s and love them. One pair the soles are smoked and the second pair is almost there. I read someone mention Crispis cobbler… Is there somewhere I can send them to have them resoled? Has anyone done this and were they happy with them when they got them back?

Gary’s shoes in Richfield Utah is the “Crispi approved” resoler. If your boots are still within the warranty window, it’s best to use him. They only use Crispi’s soles and processes, but the reviews are good. Here’s a review of the process:

Additionally, Mr. Cobbler in Grand Junction will also resole them. He uses aftermarket Vibram soles and rebuilds them using a more traditional “one size fits all” type method, not necessarily back to how they were when they came out of the Crispi factory. Personally, if I ever need a pair resoled outside the warranty window, I’ll be using them:

Yeah this is definitely outside the warranty window. If I had payed attention to the warranty on first pair I probably would have qualified. Soles were smoked in 6 months but I was wearing them everyday at work. I’ll look into Mr Cobbler CO. Thank you for the response.

This change sucks. Those flexible, sticky rubber soles are the best part of the boot. I'll have to pick up a pair of the Lapponia 2s before they sell out.

I just picked up a pair of 3’s at scheels today. They feel the same to me. Out of the entire crispi line they are the only ones that feel good on my feet. The other models have a higher arch that disagree with my flat feet. I was bummed they changed them too but to my understanding they fixed some durability issues. Go try on a new pair I think you’ll be surprised

 

[Ghetto]

What is similar to the Lapponia 3s in other brands?

 

[craigrh13]

I just picked up a pair on discount. I’ve been wearing them around the house and these things are flat out uncomfortable on my foot. They seem like solid boots but my feet literally hurt from them. I’ve never had that issue before. I will be returning these to Blackovis.

They just seemed right all the way around especially in the toe box. I love my Schnee Timberlines.

Can anyone recommend another lightweight boot to try that is similar to the Lapponia 2’s?

 

[ChrisAU]

Confirmed with Crispi that the Lite isn't being offered in wide sizes. Ugh. Sticking with my II's for this coming season I suppose.

 

[GuideGun]

Got a pair of the Lapponia 3s from Blackovis yesterday. Put a pair of SuperFeet insoles in them. Been wearing them around today, I think they are great. Im a long time user of the Crispi Nevadas, wanted something a little lighter and more breathable for turkey season. These should do well.

 

[boatlee]

Just another excuse to buy the next model lol

FYI, Camofire has the Lapponia II's at the best price I've seen, but only in some sizes.

I didn't want to start a new thread just for my question since this seems like a place with a bunch of Lapponia owners. I really like the boots, but does anyone else have problems with the toe area collecting seeds and such to a pretty ridiculous extent?

Par for the course, just clean it out after every trip (something you should always do for boot longevity anyways) with a toothbrush. I don’t worry about it with mine and haven’t noticed a detrimental affect.
