Hey all,
Several months ago I posted a thread on boot help. I ordered a pair of scarpa charmoz really hoping they would work. Over all the boot was a little stiffer than I expected and the fit was good but not great. Little low on volume and slightly tight near the pinky toe. I probably could have went up a size to a 47 but didn’t bother as I felt they would be too much boot.
As my search has continued I have been looking hard at the Lowa and Crispi boots. I tried on a pair of Caminos the other day and they felt great. Fit was good, ankle support seemed great, but I felt the boot was a little flexiable. I am wondering if anyone has used ticams how do they compare to the Camino? I have been told they are about as stiff as the Tibet with a better feel and more precise fit.
In the Crispis I am looking at the Thor and Summit. I feel like those are the two most comparable boots in the line up. I don’t have a retailer around here so I would be ordering which is not a big deal. I really liked the Lowa but don’t want to miss anything overlooking the Crispi.
I would like to hear from some people who have maybe worn both brands and maybe some or even all of these boots. Give me the good, bad and ugly. Which boots do you feel have performed the best. How’s the durability, which lacing system do you like more. Do the Crispis really have that suction cup feel on like everyone says? If you have used the warranty or needed customer service how was it? Some people say the Crispi boots lack durability and others that Lowa boots leak. So let me hear what you all think.
