I have Crispi, Oboz, Salewa and it's very close in terms of best comfort and ankle support between the Oboz Bridgers and Salewa. The Crispi is a heavy stiff boot I only wear when I have a heavy load coming out of the mountains and that's just so I don't make my calf muscles tired so quick. Mild weather goes to the Salewa and cold would go to Oboz Bridgers insulated

Best mountain boot ?

Same here. I bought the ones with 400 grams insulation but they have one with 1000 and another with none. They are stiff left to right which is what I wanted. Can buy a lot of boots for less money but these are taller and what I wanted for the ankle support. I also have a pair of Lowa Renegade Mid GTX boots that I wear during turkey season and when the wife and I hike. They're lighter and not as rigid as the Kennetreks but really like them too.

Crispi is probably the most well made boot I have ever owned but yes very stiff and heavy. Great for ascending. I have some Merrells for light duty. A big sheep hunter friend of mine highly recommends the Kennetreks. I have seen the Zamberlans on sale on camofire.

Danner Grouse Hunters for me. Warm, waterproof and a very tacky grip with a cleated sole which helps in the mountains. I've wore them on many treks in South Cherokee, Catoosa and North Cumberland.
Speaking of socks.
As obvious as it may be, make sure to wear the socks you'll be using when you try on the boots. I prefer a slightly looser fit, this gives me room to increase sock thickness, add a liner and room for swelling.

Midway has several makes, models, and sizes of high end boots on sale right now.
