Solid feel - dependable grip
Had to wait a couple of weeks to get a decent tramp in with these boots. Very happy with them. They feel bombproof with no worries about what you’re walking through. Had no issues with traction climbing or descending in smooth or loose rock, roots, or clay on what was a fine day, but a very wet track. The only issue was where wet topsoil had washed down on top of clay - the boot tread got clogged with loose topsoil and started to slip. Warm, dry and comfortable, though slightly wide in the toe for me - could feel the pressure on my toes downhill, but no lasting damage there. Great service from Dwights and they are great with after sale backup too. The Crispi NZ agent was also very helpful.
