I've been running Crispi Thor II GTX boots for the past two years and overall I love them for a lightweight, fast boot that lets you scramble on the sidehills with a lot of support. Where these bad boys let me down is when I carry more than about 30-35lbs for several miles. They become painful at about mile 3 and those ultra stiff soles feel like punishment, I don't have this same issue with Briksdals but those are a warmer boot that I reserve for later in the season. Does anyone else have this same issue? Do you have a hack for this or a different boot recommendation for lightweight "haul the mail" boots? I've heard the HanWag Makra can fill this slot but I've never owned any HanWags. I will keep the Thors for early season day hunts when I can hunt close to the rig, but if I want to carry 50lbs or more I have to do something different.
