For western hunting boots, this is a great all around option. A very similar option to the Tibet GTX with the same midsole and all, in a more lightweight package.
If a hunter wanted to stick with Lowa, but wanted something a bit more lightweight, check out the Camino GTX. Plain and simple, the Tibet is a workhorse. The Lowa is a fully wrapped leather boot with rubber rand. Getting the right fit is so key with boots, so this feature is really beneficial. This allows the user to separate the lace tension between the ankle and top of boot. A cool feature of this boot is the I-Lock lacing cam. The Tibet will keep you dry due to the Gore-Tex liner it comes wrapped in. It is built for optimum support under heavy loads and to withstand anything that is thrown at it. There is a reason this boot has been a cult favorite among backcountry hunters. The Lowa Tibet GTX is a tried and true model of boot that deserves the serious hunter’s attention.

The Crispi Colorado is a lightweight uninsulated boot built to last.
In that realm, Crispi uses their ABSS(ankle bone support system) which is going to perform great in the steep country we often encounter out there. This is going to give the hunter more cushion and aid in comfort without losing support. Instead of the EVA midsole, like the Summit, Crispi used a dual density PU(polyurethane) shock absorbing midsole along with a Vibram sole. They took the upper from their famed Summit and put a different midsole on it. If you were a fan of the Crispi Summit, but wanted something slightly beefier, this boot should be on your radar. New for 2019 from Crispi is the Colorado GTX. Crispi Colorado GTX Click image for more info! There is a reason they call this the Legend.

A bad pair of boots can break your hunt pretty quick, so this is an area that demands one’s attention. Having a quality pair of boots that fits both you and the demands of your style of hunting is paramount. In the game that is Western Hunting, there are a few gear items that one should never skimp on.
