Greenland Zip boot
By BJNorsky
Ranked #760 - Women's Winter Boots and Shoes
December 30, 2008
This is a warm and functional boot for most winter conditions. Traction on packed snow is excellent. I have trouble keeping fingers and toes warm during our subzero winters, so I'm always on the lookout for warm mitts and boots. I bought these a half size larger than usual so that I could wear a couple layers of thermal socks. The boots do a pretty good job in -20 degree conditions as long as I am working my toes. With the side zips, they are easy to get on and take off. While providing solid ankle support for trudging through snow (especially while strapped to snowshoes), they are not clunky or awkward. They are completely waterproof--even in slush or heavy, wet snow. The fur collars are a stylish accent when you tuck in your pantlegs. If you want the boots to have less presence, wear boot cut pants and, with a little effort, you can work your pantlegs over the boots.
