[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2004464, member: 66917"] Since its late Oct and general regular season starts the 24th, I assume this is for a 2021 hunt. In that case you have lots of time to get your boots prepared for your hunt. If by early season you mean the backcountry unit time frame that usually starts Sept 15th and you're going Sept 15th then a 200gr boot would likely do great. If your going later into Oct then a 400gr or higher boot might be better as it gets cold fast in MT. If you are concerned about fit I would call and talk to the companies you are considering. Hey, you're paying big $ for this stuff they should have some level of customer service to support any questions you have. Crispi makes a very nice boot. Their line varies a little "last" wise so speaking to them will certainly guide your choice. Find out what the return policy is. I wear Meindls because they fit my feet really good. I bought some for my son in law and didn't know he had a narrow heel. His foot floated in the heel area and so we had to return them. No problem returning them at all. A few calls around later we landed on a Crispi Briksdal. They fit him like a glove. I'd call and discuss your flat foot issue with Crispi, Kenetrek, Schnee (my daughter and step mom love their 200g beartooths), Meindl, Hanwag, Zamberlan. I know the Zamberlan's tend to be great for people with narrow feet. You'll get an education by talking to them. [/QUOTE]
