Merrell Thermo Arc 6 Waterproof Boot - Women's

Love these second-skin boots. I wear them all the time. I like to keep them loosely tied and slip them on for convenience (my ankles dont like to be bound anyway), and this has posed the only problem to these boots...the back is not stiff, so sometimes goes in the shoe with my foot. I love these boots, despite this user error problem. They are warm, look great, and feel great! They feel true to size, but next time I am going with a 1/2 size up for any winter boot I get, to fit big comfy socks better.

I absolutely love these boots. They keep my feet so warm, that if I'm indoors, I have to take them off or wear different shoes because my feet get a little too warm. Sleek design, not too bulky, but sturdy enough to kick some snow! I love the faux fur around the ankele.

Bonus feature: Boots have small plastic loop at the bottom of the laces to hook onto snow pants for snow shoeing or hiking in the snow.

Only con about the boots is that the laces frequently come untied. Otherwise, these boots are a great investment.

I bought these as a boot to wear at work up my ski area. I'm outside all day long, in all kinds of winter conditions. These boots are fantastic! I bought my usual size (8.5) and I have no trouble wearing any sock I want. I replaced the insole with my customs without any problem. If you don't have the need for a custom insole, the provided one is just fine. No leakage detected yet, either. If these ever wear out, I'm going to buy another pair!!

So stylish that I told the sales guy "this isn't what I'm looking for, I need something I can SNOWSHOE in". Then I gave them a try. They fit great, are warm, the fur keeps loose snow out when I walk the dog, and the loop lets me clip my gaiters down to snowshoe. Then I jsut keep them on and wear them out on the town (or at least to get a cuppa' joe after ice climbing). You can have fun outdoors, and ... well, they are pretty cute.

Downside is I just broke a lace loop so I"ll be looking for a replacement pair.
