The North Face McMurdo II Boot - Men's
Very Warm, but I doubt -40 temp rating.......

I really like these boots but I disagree with the -40 rating on them. I was in 5 degree Fahrenheit temperatures shoveling my mother in laws driveway out in Midway, UT for a couple of hours & my feet definitely got cold. I was very surprised that I was getting cold since I was moving & working so hard shoveling. Once that rubber gets super cold on the lower boot you've got to keep moving, if I wasn't working so hard my feet would have frozen; I wouldn't trust these in 0 or less if you really need to count on them, but I really don't like being out working in that kind of cold, you'll be good in 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but once you're in the negative temps don't count on these being bomb proof against it.
