The Crispi Attiva Mid GTX boots are ideal for the light and fast hunter who wants to stay nimble, mobile, and agile while keeping feet dry and protected during early season hunts. Crispi has taken the benefits of the Attiva low and added additional stability, Gortex and a little extra Italian know-how to create the Attiva Mid. The ultra soft comfort of a leather/synthetic upper, Elastoflex midsole and Vibram sole are a combination that makes for a unique mix of fast and light with durability not often found in hunting specific boots within this category. The Elastoflex midsole delivers a perfect weight to impact absorption ratio specific to hunting situations and use. For the Attiva Mid, the Elastoflex midsole as well as its board last build provides additional flex stability to give this boot a Flex2 rating. For ankle stability, Crispi incorporated their proprietary Thermo Wire Technology (TWT) which is an innovative system to provide the upper with greater stability, ankle support, and protection without added weight. The Attiva Mid is complete with a speed lacing system and tidy lace garage on the top of the tongue. For those hunters who prefer a trail runner to a boot when hunting and scouting, or those who would like a lightweight stalking option that is sure to keep feet dry, this boot is sure to fit the bill. The Attiva Mid might feel like a slipper when first putting it on but dont be fooled, this boot is rugged enough for most any terrain early season hunts will produce.
