Ranked #730 - Men's Winter Boots and Shoes
January 4, 2009
While the leather and rubber bottoms of this boot were top notch, I felt the bottom of the liner was going to compress to almost nothing during wear. It's made of open cell foam and was paper thin on the sole when I removed them from the boot to try on for sizing...and I also ordered up one full size. So while I can't provide feedback during actual use, I didn't think this boot was going to be an upgrade in terms of warmth over my old pair of Sorels. Also, don't think that this boot is made in Canada, they've outsourced to China as virtually everone else has.
Ended up buying a pair of Muck Arctic Sport boots instead. While not as handsome...they are super warm, super comfortable and waterproof.
As always...Backcountry provided great service.
