I walk dogs a lot during the winter and I need a lightweight hiking shoe which can withstand the slush of the North East coast and keep me warm. I want to know about the Insulation in terms of comparing it with the Merrell Arctic Fox 6 hiking shoe.
Thanks,
Leila ...

Leila- These North Face boots are Gore-tex so they are waterproof & are breathable. It keeps your feet dry without overheating, they are meant for hiking where you don't need insulation just support & performance.
