Waterlogged boots / 1.5KG each?
Alright so I've just come back from another hunt for the last 10 odd says, gallivanting around the southern alps.
My Lowa Tibets have been soaking wet about 95% of the time. LowaNZ states 1 boot is 900grams. I have just weighed one of my boots and it comes in at just under 1.5kg. That seems insane. That is a substantial weight on each foot. I'm not keen to be lugging around these blocks on my feet, I personally don't find them that comfortable either.
I have done some research and Crispi have released a new boot called the Thor GTX. These come in at 566grams per boot, dry. Apparently they dry very fast due the material beign a synthetic/condura blend. They are also waterproof. They have received very good reviews.

Anyone had experience with Crispi? I'm wanting to order a pair overseas as I don't think I can try on a pair here. I'm US11 in Tibets if that helps.
