Crispi

Crispi Boots are engineered for serious adventures—built to handle the demands of backcountry hunting, rugged trekking, technical mountaineering, climbing and everyday hiking. Whether you're pushing through alpine terrain or logging miles in unpredictable conditions, Crispi delivers uncompromising support, comfort, and durability for any outdoor pursuit. And when your hunt demands unwavering performance in the most challenging terrain, our Crispi Hunting Boots deliver the perfect combination of Italian craftsmanship and technical innovation. And for female hunters, Crispi’s women’s line is specifically designed with anatomically correct lasts to ensure a precise fit, all-day comfort, and reliable support on any terrain. Hand-built in the shadows of the Italian Alps by artisans who understand what mountain hunting truly demands, Crispi has established itself as the premier footwear choice for serious hunters who refuse to let equipment limitations dictate their pursuit.

Crispi Boots are built for the hunter and outdoorsman who demands performance in unforgiving terrain. Handmade in Italy and tested across the Alps, Rockies, and Himalayas, Crispi combines premium leather, mountain-proven technology, and precise fit to deliver rugged boots ready for any pursuit. Whether you're logging miles on a high-country elk hunt, tackling alpine ridgelines, or trekking through wet timber, Crispi has a purpose-built boot that can keep up—no matter the mission.

TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY IN EVERY STEP

What separates Crispi from standard hunting footwear is their uncompromising attention to technical details. Each boot incorporates multiple advanced technologies:

• Full-Grain Leather Uppers: Premium materials that balance durability with natural flexibility
• GORE-TEX Comfort Linings: 100% waterproof protection while maintaining breathability
• Differentiated Structure Insoles: Anatomically designed for maximum support
• Ankle Bone Support System (ABSS): Revolutionary stability without restricting movement
• Dual-Density Polyurethane Midsoles: Superior shock absorption for all-day comfort
• Super Grip Technology: Enhanced traction in varied terrain
• Vibram Soles: Industry-leading outsoles designed specifically for hunting applications

Specialized for the Hunting Environment

Unlike mass-produced hiking boots merely adapted for the hunt, Crispi boots are purpose-built for hunters who rely on stealth, durability, and serious performance. Their design minimizes noise for silent stalks, holds strong in both freezing temps and scorching heat, and offers rock-solid support when you're hauling heavy loads out of rugged backcountry. Every pair is made to last across multiple seasons and tough terrain—because when the hunt gets real, your boots shouldn’t hold you back.

THE PERFECT BOOT FOR EVERY PURSUIT

Crispi's lineup of premium new boots are built to match your exact hunting style and the demands of your terrain. For early-season hunts and high-exertion mountain pursuits, their uninsulated models offer lightweight breathability and agility. When the temps drop, insulated options with Thinsulate™ technology deliver reliable warmth without compromising performance. Crispi also offers a specialized women’s line, built on female-specific lasts for a more precise and supportive fit—no more settling for downsized men’s boots. Whether you’re navigating rocky high country or stalking through thick timber, there’s a Crispi boot dialed in for the job.

Investment in Performance

While quality never comes cheap, a new pair of Crispi boots represent an investment in hunting success and foot health. The longevity of properly maintained Crispi boots often outlasts multiple pairs of lesser quality footwear, providing superior value over time. Many hunters report their Crispi boots maintaining performance integrity through multiple seasons of hard use.

And at BlackOvis, we don't just sell Crispi boots – we help match you with the perfect model for your specific hunting needs at a great price. Our team members personally use these boots in the field and can provide firsthand guidance on sizing, model selection, and performance expectations.

What boots do I use the Crispi Waterproofing Cream on vs. the Crispi Waterproofing Spray?

Use the Crispi Waterproofing Cream on full-grain leather boots such as the Crispi Nevada GTX, Crispi Hunter GTX, and Crispi Wild Rock. This cream is specifically designed to condition, protect, and extend the life of leather uppers without compromising breathability or waterproofing. It also helps prevent the leather from drying, cracking, or absorbing moisture over time.

Use the Crispi Waterproofing Spray on boots with synthetic or suede uppers, like the Crispi Lapponia, Summit GTX, or other models that use mixed materials. The spray offers lightweight water resistance and protection without affecting the flex or breathability of synthetic fabrics.

Pro Tip from BlackOvis: Always clean your boots before applying either product, and let them dry naturally after application for the best results.

Do Crispi Boots fit true to size?

Yes, most Crispi boots run true to size, especially when worn with standard mid- or heavyweight hunting socks. However, some users with wider feet or those planning long, multi-day hunts with swelling may benefit from sizing up a half-size.

At BlackOvis, our team wears Crispi boots in the field regularly and we recommend trying boots on indoors first and referencing our Crispi sizing guide to ensure the best possible fit.

What’s the best do-it-all Crispi boot?

The Crispi Nevada GTX stands out as the best all-around hunting boot in the Crispi lineup. It's a versatile, mid-stiff boot that performs exceptionally in early to late season hunts, whether you're chasing mule deer in high-country terrain or hiking deep into elk country. With its GORE-TEX waterproof lining, full-grain leather upper, ABSS (Ankle Bone Support System), and Vibram outsole, the Nevada GTX offers the ideal balance of comfort, durability, and mountain-ready support. It's available in both uninsulated and 200g Thinsulate versions, making it adaptable to different seasons and climates. The Nevada GTX is the one boot we reach for when we’re unsure what conditions the backcountry will throw at us. It just works — and works well — everywhere.

What are the differences between the Crispi Briksdal models?

The Crispi Briksdal lineup is built for serious mountain hunters needing top-tier support and precision. The Briksdal GTX offers a stiff (4/5) flex with full-grain leather and no insulation—ideal for steep, active hunts. The Briksdal SF GTX ramps it up with added structural components and an extra-stiff (5/5) flex, perfect for heavy pack-outs and extreme terrain like sheep or goat hunts. For a lighter feel, the Briksdal MTN GTX uses synthetic materials with a 4.5/5 flex, balancing agility and stability for high-output mountain pursuits.
