I just purchased my 3rd pair of Zams. Comfy out of the box, great soles, quality one piece leather = no leaky seams or tongue. Can be resoled. Handmade beauties.

Just got a pair of zamberlans because of foot pain and with some custom insoles its now almost completely gone. If you have narrow heels they get too much space to move around and your bone structure starts shifting and causing discomfort. Zamberlan has both a good curve on the heel and a more narrow heel which solved 80% of my issue pretty much. If you have foot pain and a starting minor, painful protrusion on the back of your heel I highly, highly recommend them.

I live and hunt interior Alaska. I had a pair of Thors that had cloth ankle eyelets that tore out after a sheep hunt. Crispi authorized repair with new cloth ankle outlets and would not let their cobler replace with metal eyelets...those cloth eyelets tore out again after less than 100 miles in the Alaska Range. I will never buy Crispis again due to their poor customer support. Kenetrek, Scarpa, Lowa, Zamberlain, Asolo, LaSportiva, Schnees have better quality boots and much better customer support.

Which do you think are the best fit for true to size and wide feet. I've never owned a boot over 150 dollars like rocky gore-tex and they fell apart in a year. I'm ready to buy a quality boot. I'm short and burly with wide feet...lol... do you treat your leather on boots once a season with wax/oil for waterproofing... glad I found your channel. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

I would say all of the boots are pretty true to size, I am flat footed and my foot isn’t super wide so not sure if I can answer that 100% correctly, i absolutely love the Zamberlan 980 Guides, probably my favorite boot I own, I don’t treat my boots every year, probably should but I haven’t had any issues with them leaking or anything either

ALT-BERG make boots on a G-fit Last specifically made for people with wide feet, especially in the forefoot area. Look up the Kisdon. Their non G fit or A fit boots come in 5 sizes from very wide to very narrow. Other than that, Hanwag make a boot meant for wider feet, but it's a tight around the midfoot and heel last. It's called the Ancash II ( be aware that the Ancash I was built on a normal size last though ). The Ancash II is built around a Straight Fit Extra last, which has the characteristics I just mentioned- tight around the heel and midfoot, wide at the forefoot and the balls of your feet. The Straight Fit Extra last is 12mm wider than their normal last. I don't own any of them but I am undergoing a research phase in order to get the best boot for myself. Hope I could be of service. Have a good one!

I’m wearing Hanwags right now! I like my trapper tops for late elk hunts. I have had those trappers for since 2007, and they are just as strong today as in the begging. They do need to be worn in, does not take long though. I like a stiffer boot, just seems to hold up on alpine hunts a bit better.
