I was looking at the Crispi Guide but you didn't like it huh? What model Miendl do you suggest? Have you heard of Lowa and what do you think of them. I was just searching the other day and was researching the Crispi Guide and an add for Lowa boots came up and they were about $125 less than the Crispi or the Kenetrek's.Most of the boot companies have a good return policy that allow you to walk around the house with them on to get a feel for them.
This summer I went through the trying to find the perfect boot…
kenetrek were pretty stiff feeling and not comfortable to me and had some heel slip.
schnees fit very narrow. I tried 3 different pair in medium and wide. They were all narrow. The wides were narrower than my regular width brooks sneakers
Crispi I have a pair of summits that are blister makers tried different insoles which help a little. I was interested in the guides but passed on them.
miendl comfort fits are what I settled on. They are the most comfortable to me very large toe box and heel lock is excellent. Not to mention they are way cheaper than the other. I highly recommend them. The let you try them out and free shipping and return shipping. They do run a little big.
As far as Crispi codes…..You can try blackovis sign up for their newsletter and they send you a 10% off code. But I don’t know any direct code.

Do they have any recommended treatment for the leather uppers?
I wear Lowa renegades for an every day boot, really comfortable. My hill/mountain boots are crispi valdres. They have a slightly more narrow foot box than the Lowa's which keeps my foot from sliding any inside the boot. Have not had any issues with hot spots or blisters in the crispi's. I love both boots and would highly recommend either if they fit your foot.I was looking at the Crispi Guide but you didn't like it huh? What model Miendl do you suggest?

I've not heard of that. I've use sno-seal for years. The shoe guy in our town has used it for years too but it does harden on my boots somewhat. I need to buff mine better because they form kind of waxy glaze but they are waterproof.How To Maintain Your Meindl Boots
