2nd year wearing a pair of Crispi Valdes. Anyone have experience with these getting wet insoles?? Walking in damp grass prairie grouse hunting and after 2 hours boots and feet are soaked. Starting to wonder if pant legs/socks are getting wet and wicking into the interior of the boots. Like a dummy I forgot my waterproof gaiters.
 
I have numerous pairs of Kenetreks and Crispi boots and have never had any issues with water in them. I have had water get in them but that's from crossing streams etc where the water goes over the top of the boots, but as far as walking in wet grass I have never had a issue.
 
Ive been wearing the new Crispi Upland Pros for a couple months including cool mornings w heavy dew. No issues w wet feet at all. They are the most comfortable boot Ive ever worn. Hope everything stays that way.

I think walking in wet grass for an extended time is the worst. I've never seen any boot (other than rubber boots) that would stay dry inside under those conditions. I doubt it's wicking in from the top.
 
Ive noticed that my crispis make my feet feel like theyre wet, but when I take them off-bone dry on the inside. It must be how amputees claim to still feel their limbs. My feet were so used to being wet from wearing Danners, theyre feeling phantom wetness.

I have a pair of Crispi Idaho GTX II and love them. I looked at the new Upland Pro this weekend at Scheel's and they look pretty awesome. I can't justify a new pair right now, but they are first on my list as replacements.
