Crispi & Kennetrek are made in Italy, Meindle & Lowa are made in Germany. It seems like all of the top quality boots are from those two countries
Any 4 of these I have Kennetrek back when you got lifetime warranty.

I’d reiterate what NoDak Bob said- go with what boots fit your feet most comfortably. For me a great pair of bird hunting boots were not the best when chasing mountain critters. I remember wearing Meindl’s mountain boots when pheasant hunting-dumb and more dumb. I decided to try a pair of Hoka ā€œhikersā€ last year, as my feet are pretty beat up. I look like a dipshit, but they are very comfortable and have worked great for bird and deer hunting. I wouldn’t wear them on a mountain hunt, however.
I thought about them my neuropathy is bad I like their tennis shoes, know couple guys with these for early season birds etc..

You just cost me $250. 😁 They didn't have size 13, but they ordered for that price. They had two models of Crispi on sale also.
Ha ha congrats! Great price on them, they are built like a tank and will last you a long long time. Like I said just a little heavier but that comes from being constructed they way they are. I did put superfeet insoles in mine after a year or so.

Ya but if I hadnt gone to Sheels at all I wouldn't have bought that little Garmin radar chronograph, or the pound of VitVor N350, or the Hornady electronic scale, or ------------
You will like that Garmin! I tossed countless chronos in the shitcan prior to that one. I’m keeping it!

There are a bunch of Crispi and a couple pairs of Lowa on Camofire this morning.

If you watch, they have Kenetreks on there too from time to time.

I’m guessing most are already familiar with Camofire. They know me by first name! šŸ˜‚

These Briksdal's are a great boot.

I tried on a lot of ended up ordering Meindl and like them so far. Very comfortable. I ended up going with boots rather than hikers and am still 50/50 on that. Overkill for much of what I do but I like the fit and support. Different level of quality for sure among the high end boots that I tried. Find one that fits and go with it.
