Best BASE jumping boots

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Crispi boots fit a little wider than the Hanwags.

I've read the exact opposite on two paraglider forums.

That's weird. My experience owning the Crispi's was that they fit my (wide) foot pretty well. My experience trying on the Hanwags and walking around in them was that they were too narrow for my feet.

Yo,
I voted for hanwags, I had some kickass solomons but when I tried the Hanwags....love.
I pounded in a few weeks ago and I believe the multiple layers of the soles obsorbed a lot of the shock, the support in the ankles is fantastic too. I'm sure if I was wearing my solomons or *gasp* just regular shoes i wouldnt be walking.I escaped with only a fractured L2.
I would check out hanwags on the internet,I got mine from a paragliding instructor for $200 tax included,It Moab there is a huge markup.

I jump with a pair of ice climbing boots from Lasportiva. see them here
They are relatively expensive boots but they have a hard sole so it gives you excellent support and protection
when you come pounding in a rock.
Added bonus they do not have any hooks and they are very light.
These boots are also great hiking boots for those long sketchy approches.
But if you are looking for an all around type of boots to also use on urban jumps there ought to be more appropriate boots out there.
Anyways, just thought I'd add a pair to the list of good boots to chose from.

Anyone own a pair of these? If so, I'd like any feedback you can give.

As an ex Mil boy I wear the Matterhorn boots. I've been using them for 12 years. I'm at my third pair.

For the not so bad landing areas I use Raichle mid weight climbing boots

For the shit landings Technica Ice climbing boots, with an ankle brace in each.

I tried and now love my FOX Boots.
they are special military boots and have several good points for me:
they are absolutely quiet, really (sometimes you need that)
very good grip on earth, rocks, steel, concrete, glass, ....
waterresistant
no hooks for the laces

Personally, I use my super secret high-speed low drag magic ninja boots! They provide absolutely no protection of the ankle whatsoever, but they're easy to cut off when you break your leg.

just so you know you are looking at a fine pair of a safetyware with a long record of flawless performance. i would venture to guess they saved my ankles in over 700-800 landings some of which would easily qualify for real TV. it is not going to be cheap
