My crispi Wyoming's are finally toast. 2 years with maybe 7 months of use in that time span.
New boots like the wyoming's will be used from June to Sept maybe early October. So 50°+ weather. Terrain will be desert, badlands, timbered mountains and above timberline.
So my requirements
- Mostly synthetic construction
- 6+ inches in height
- waterproof
- full - 3/4 rand
- stiffness is meh, on a scale of 1-5 I like the 3/4 area with 5 being stupid stiff
- durable
I get that mother nature, certain terrain, and lots of use can take a toll on boots. I've begun to look that them as a consumable product, like I know my kenetreks will need a new sole every other summer. But my crispi Wyoming's were leaky and breaking down after 3 months. Nothing against crispi the boots fit great and we're super comfy I'm in no way bashing them I think the wyoming's by design have a natural failure point.
I've narrowed it down I think to
Kuiu scarpa evo
Salewa crow and raven
Hannwag ferrata
Am I missing any boots to consider?
Anyone have input on the boots I mentioned?
Thanks
