Alright so I've just come back from another hunt for the last 10 odd says, gallivanting around the southern alps.
My Lowa Tibets have been soaking wet about 95% of the time. LowaNZ states 1 boot is 900grams. I have just weighed one of my boots and it comes in at just under 1.5kg. That seems insane. That is a substantial weight on each foot. I'm not keen to be lugging around these blocks on my feet, I personally don't find them that comfortable either.
I have done some research and Crispi have released a new boot called the Thor GTX. These come in at 566grams per boot, dry. Apparently they dry very fast due the material beign a synthetic/condura blend. They are also waterproof. They have received very good reviews.

Anyone had experience with Crispi? I'm wanting to order a pair overseas as I don't think I can try on a pair here. I'm US11 in Tibets if that helps.
