I prefer the Meindl over the Crispi, let me re-phrase that....my feet do. The Crispi is an amazing boot right out of the box, I have a pair I wore for about two hrs, need to get them sold. The toe box is larger than the Meindl. I have slender feet so the Meindl works better for me.
Just goes to show you that every foot is different. I've tried a couple different Crispis on and have found the toebox to be to small between the Colorado and the Hunter boots. My Meindl Perfekt Hunters fit great in the toebox whereas the Crispis kill my pinky and next toe on one foot. I also have a lower volume foot and love the Meindls. I took a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extremes to Alaska this year for the added ankle support and even with superfeet green insoles I feel that I don't have a great heel lock with the Kenetreks.
