So I'm a little disappointed. I took the plunge on a pair of Crispi Idaho GTX Boots in size 14. I was reluctant to buy them because they don't make the 14's in the wider widths. The gentleman at BlackOvis convinced me that they run kind of wide, so I went for it. In preparation for my backpack hunt this past season, I used them a number of times in training. Maybe a dozen times or so both taking long walks in the sidewalk with weight on my back and some trail training also. Well, there is no two ways about it, they hurt my feet. I tried to tough it out but to me foot comfort is the most important thing on long hikes (or close to the top if not #1). I ended up wearing my old Danner Pronghorns in 14 3E and had comfort on the trail but sacrificed the extra ankle support that I felt I was getting from the Crispi's (and perhaps a slight weight difference). So now I'm wondering if there are boots of the Crispi or Kenetrek caliber in the size I need.
Any recommendations would be greatly welcome.
Oh, and I have a pair of Crispi Idaho GTX in size 14 (lightly used) that I may be willing to part with for much less than retail.
Thanks,
Chris
