I recent bought a pair of Crispi Summits and thought I would share a few things. First, I looked at Crispi because of the reputation for comfort and performance. Right away I noticed they ran a half size big compared to my kennetreks. No big deal, Crispi treats their customers right and made the exchange super fast. Second, many people talk about the no break in needed. I will say that is sort of true. I wore them on a elk hunt and about 7 miles the first day. Here is where it gets tricky. The insoles are terrible. They are flat and no support. No matter how I laced them I had slippage and tons of room in the foot box. When I got back to camp, I thought I lost in the boot search. But wait there’s more…
I just switched my insoles to superfeet in my sneakers. I switched out the crispi insoles and headed out for day 2.
Winner! I was able to lock my foot in and it no longer felt like I was walking on a piece of metal. The ankle support is great and the boot preforms. I put 11 miles on the second day with no issues.
Closing thoughts; Good boot but after you buy the boot, throw out the insoles and put something else in there. Also, try to try on before as sizing is a little different.
