Crispi Shimek GTX Insulated Hunting Boots

With the mid to late-season hunter in mind, the Crispi design team set out to create a boot that would be lightweight, flexible, while providing the ultimate in all day comfort. The result of this effort is the Crispi Shimek GTX. Initially intended for the mobile Midwest whitetail and upland bird hunter, after field testing and putting it through the ringer, Crispi quickly realized the Shimek GTX will perform in a wide range of terrain and temperatures. Mountain hunters who want a light and fast boot like the Lapponia GTX but with added warmth will find the Shimek a boot worth considering.

Speaking of warmth, the high quality upper of the boot consists of water repellant waxed Nubuck leather with 400 grams of Gore insulation creating a reliable go most anywhere, anytime insulated boot. The Nubuck leather upper is protected by a full rubber rand for increased durability. The backbone of support, comfort and traction are the Vibram Megagrip outsole, 2-flex board last and shock-absorbing EVA midsole. Whether you’re hunting the Black Hills of South Dakota, Wyoming antelope terrain, bean fields in Iowa or tracking bucks in the big woods of the Appalachian Mountains, the Crispi Shimek GTX is designed to keep you hunting comfortably all day long in mild to cold weather.

Field Notes

"This may be the most versatile, lightweight mid to late season hunting boot yet. Plenty of support throughout and a bombproof outsole that will grip in the deepest snow, the most jagged rocks, and the iciest trails you will encounter during demanding late season hunts. This boot has accompanied me on every late season hunt this year and has proven itself time and time again. It has earned a spot in the quiver and will be replacing my previous year-round boot, the Lapponia. If you are looking for a lightweight, durable, and comfortable boot to get you through the late season, the Shimek is for you." - Colby Jorgensen
