Which boot Lathrop and sons or crispi?

Looks like you might have tried on several Colorados...did you find a fit difference for sizing compared to the Valdres? I find the toe box cramped on the Colorados although they are still breaking in. The Valdres for me in the same size is a perfect fit - but that toe box is much wider imo. What did you think about the fit between those 2 Crispi boot models?

I don't remember a whole lot about the valdres. I do find a slight difference between the Nevadas and the Colorados even though they are supposedly the same last. The colorados fit well while the Nevadas let my heel slip a goo amount.

I am trying some Zamberlan 1104, 1110s, and Crispi Nevadas currently. Will post an update in a week or so if I keep one. The 1104s seem promising!
 
Still liking the 1104s after messing with them a bit more yesterday. Will spend some time with them and the Nevadas/Kenais but leaning 1104s. Wish I could compare them to the Lowa Ticam IIs side by side but don't want to order another set right now as I'm pretty sure I like these better.

I've had both. The L&S boots were the nicest construction out of any I've had (L&S, Lowa, Crispi, and Merrill). If the L&S last fits your feet that would be my vote.


Did you find that the L & S fit the heel better than the Nevadas? I love the fit of the nevada other than they heel slip I get. They are perfect for me in the front of the foot but I always get that Heel slip. I need the heel fit of the Briksdal and the forefoot fit of the nevada.

Not sure as it was awhile ago but I do remember the Nevadas slipping.

I now wear Briksdal wides and find they are my favorite all leather boot so far (Crispi Colorados being favorite overall). I am not sure they'll hold up as well as L&S though but time will tell. I do use L&S insoles in all of my boots too FYI.

How do you like the Flex of the regular Briksdals? I got the Briksdal MTN SF and they were way too stiff for me. I should have tried the 4 Flex. I need something that will flex in the toe going up hill.

No complaints on them. I haven’t tried the 5 flex version for comparison but like the 4 flex briksdal, Colorado, & lowa tibets for reference
