See post #29 for pics of the boots.
Ive been wearing the Salomon’s for 3/4 years now...as a work boot really comfortable great, light weight. They feel like a running shoe. Nice sole feels soft in the heel so after a day on the tools your feet are not hurting. Also good lace system with nice locks on the side just above the ankle which means you can lace them up fast.

The Crispi. So far comfortable straight out of the box. as you can see from the scales a little bit more heaver. Harder in the heel when walking in comparison to the Salomons but not uncomfortable.

The only bitch I do have with them is the lace system is a pain in the ass. No lace lock also the laces are on the short side. I like to double bow tire my laces and you cant with these.

Once done up there fine, but if your in a rush they will have you swearing.

That said once on there good. No rubbing sore spots or sore soles. For a harder tramping hunting boot than the Salomon's these would be the go. But bush stalking with not a lot of river crossings id pic the Sals. I do think that if Crispi sorted out there laces and eyelets they would be onto a winner. I do like how the leather is nice and soft. Time will tell how they preform.

Cheers
