What are your experiences and preferences on boot height for a mid to late season boot. I'm trying to decide between the Crispi Hunter (11") and the Crispi Wild (9.5") for a cold weather boot. Will that extra 1.5" make a difference in the snow?
How Tall are your mid/late season boots?

I have the Crispi Wild. I haven't had the chance to try them in snow yet but I love mine. I think the Hunter has a few extra features and some of their newer technologies. But to me it is just another eylet to lace up. 9.5 inch seems plenty high. Just wear gaiters.

I wear 6" hiking/backpacking shoes during the later months, just put on gaiters and go to it.

Good to hear...the Crispi Wilds are on clearance too. I currently have the Zamberlans Vois. They are 6" and uninsulated. I used them for the whole season last year. They have been a great boot and I plan to use them scouting and early season, but I need something more for the deeper snow. I had some cold wet feet on 1 of my hunts last season. Good call on the gaiters, I need to get some. I was hoping the Kuiu gaiters would have been out by now.
