Trying to decide between these 2. Anyone have experience with either of these that may could give pros or cons?

That is good info. One of the things I wondered about was the warmth level of the 200 vs the 400. I am already leaning towards the Guide anyway. thanksFirst time I wore my Crispi Hunter GTX (taller, stiffer version of the Guide, also 200g) the weather was high 40s during the day. The night temperatures were mid-20s. I had on Darn Tough Hunter Over-the-Calf Extra Cushion (a heavy 79% Merino Wool sock). No liner socks. My activity level was low. My feet were always plenty warm but never hot or sweaty; I think my feet tend to be "average" or maybe slightly on the cool side.
Sorry I don't have any more experience to offer.
I'd buy them again.
My main concern was the warmth for a 3rd season hunt. I"ve got a pair of non insulated Solomans I plan to take as well. Thanks for the inputLowland, I have the Crispi Hunter (same as Rock-O), and found them the most comfortable boot I have ever worn.
You asked about the Crispi Guide, it is the same boot as the Hunter, but the Guide is 2 inches shorter in height than the Hunter, as Rock-o has stated. I have also purchased a non insulated Crispi Idaho and a pair of Crispi Wyoming. I love the Crispis, and found they fit perfectly. Unfortunately I have not tried the Wild Rock, so I can't offer any info on those. If you could afford to order both, and try them on and return the ones that you don't like but $800 is a chunk of change. At least you could try them both on, and compare side by side.
BlackOvis and Baker's boots in Eugene, Or are where I made my purchases. BlackOvis has an extra generous return policy.

I am wearing the Wyomings as we speak. Rainy weather here in South La, I wanted my feet to stay dry (so I'm not wearing the Salomons). I find the fit to be identical on the Hunters and the Wyomings, just that the Wyomings are a shorter (in height) boot. All day comfort to me. I have never tried the Summits.
Crispi describes the Summit as an exceptionally lightweight boot. I wouldn't call the Wyomings or Hunters lightweight. Not super heavy but not light. They both offer plenty of support.
Thanks. That is helpful. The weight difference on the summit and wyoming is not huge, but you do notice it. The summit is my early season go to.
Check Blackovis.com, they have the Crispi Summit GTX in their "Sale" section. Color black- not every size but most.
I think they are $272 ?? If you try Rokslide or Rokslide10, or Rokslide20, you might get additional discount. Go to their website and look across the top right hand corner, it says "Sale" or "On sale".
did you buy a bigger size boot than normal wearing those heavy socksFirst time I wore my Crispi Hunter GTX (taller, stiffer version of the Guide, also 200g) the weather was high 40s during the day.

Do you have another pair of non insulated premium boots for earlier seasons? If so I highly recommend the Wild Rock. I run the non insulated Nevada for earlier/warmer conditions and the Wild Rock for late season. If you can only afford or want one boot for do it all then yes, go for the insulated Guide.Trying to decide between these 2.
