I am not impressed on the way the boots kept my feet warm. They did not even keep them warm at all. Overall, was excited to get these boots but after using them this year, disappointed.

When purchasing these, I knew they would be big & beefy but when I opened them up they were much bigger than expected. Personally I'm all about it. I feel like the tread and support of the boot will be excellent in snow and tough uneven terrain. Unfortunately they are not 100% water proof but I think if they were, they may be too stiff and not as comfortable. So far I've been in at least 36" of snow and they're great! The pull cord at the top stays nice and tight to keep snow out of the boot, which is wonderful because before they arrived I thought that maybe I would be able to pull my pants/jeans over the boot for extra security but the boot is far to big for that. So like I said, luckily the pull cord at the top works very well.

I live in Minnesota, and these boots have been great for keeping my feet warm. The pull string on the top is perfect for keeping the snow out, even though it's probably not even needed since the boots go up to my knees. The buckles are something that I had searched for because they are much easier for getting them on and off, especially when the fingers get cold. They are a little bulky for walking on the sidewalk, or the first snow, but if you plan on finding your own way in the winter, then you're going to want these boots.

Would be 5 stars except they let in some water when I was standing in about 6 inches of water. Otherwise, my feet stayed warm and comfy in zero degree temps on a multiday snowmobile mission. Big but no issues walking. Easy to put on and take off. Love the buckles

I have a problem with my feet always being cold, and a co worker told me about this company.
I bought the Baffin Evolution. and today the temp is 10 degrees and I went and snowblowed the driveway and sidewalks and my feet were hot! now I don't think I will ever see the max of -94 degrees as a test, but I love the comfort and fit. do order 1 size larger than your street shoe, I hope this will be the last boot I will ever need for warm feet! Love them!...now to test them Ice Fishing!!! I can't wait!

I spend alot of time outdoors, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and these boots are the best by far I have ever worn. When you slide your feet into the Baffin Boot, you'll never wear another boot, my feet were warm and dry all day sitting on the ice, they advertise good for -172 deg. with normal socks, I bought 1/2 size larger than my normal size and the fit was perfect, like a slipper, Very nice boot, easy to step into and very comfortable. It just doesn't get better than this.

Note this is the 2008 version. the outer over the toe, the shaft composition, and the sole (at least) have changed in the 2009 model. The 2009 model is also cheaper (~$145 on Zappo's). Also, look into the Musher from Baffin, similar design but with adjustable straps wrapping over the heel also.

I bought these boots since a pair of boots with 600 gram Thinsulate Ultra insulation were not keeping my toes sufficiently warm. I tend to be outdoors for activities such as shopping, snow removal, and other similar activities. There is no comparison in my view - these boots are far warmer. They ought to be since Baffin rates them for -148 degrees F or -100 degrees C.

These boots are outstanding. They slip on and off easily. They are sized well - I wear with a light to medium sock. Even though they are medium-width the inner boot adapts to my narrow foot well. The two-buckle fastening system makes for very easy buckling, unbuckling, and adjustment. Pants legs easily fit inside the boot. The soles have a deep tread that provide very good traction. You can drive in them if you're careful despite their width. You do need to exercise some caution to avoid pressing both the brake and accelerator pedals but it is readily done if cautious.

I only have one regret - that I didn't find them sooner.

I have a pair of Baffin's that aren't this model but they are super nice. I live in Montana and I use them when the snow is 2 feet or more, or out icefishing. I read some of the questions, and from my experience I have some input. I would never work in these. They're way too bulky and heavy, and no steel toe. Plus I could see falling or tripping in them if you were carrying something heavy through the snow or on ice. I always end up working in my old Vasque Apex boots with gators for work. I don't know much about working on power lines but I wouldn't reccomend it.
I think that these used to be made in northern Canada, where it gets mighty freezing, but alas, EVERYTHING is now made in china, so that would be my guess now. Makes me shake my head everytime I think about it.
Aside from that, these boots are great and your feet will never get cold, at least mine don't but they're the older kind still made up north. Love old school gear........

I used these boots for the month of October in the Alaskan arctic, mainly on barrier islands and sea ice. Temperatures were 0-25 degrees (fahrenheit) and we often had 5-15 mph winds. I was outside, crouching and mostly not moving, for 1-2 hours at a time. My feet did occasionally become cool, but they never became cold to the point of discomfort. These boots possess thick insulation, and a layer of waffled material under the foot, which must help trap warm air.

One note - I wear about a size 9 shoe, and I ordered size 10 boots. When the boots arrived I almost sent them back because they felt so tight; however, after several days of use, the insulation packed out to a surprising degree and the boots now almost feel too large.

these are the best winter boots ever! this is my son's 3rd or 4th year using these boots. He is outside 8 hrs a day x 40 hrs a week & his feet never get cold or wet in upstate New York's frigid winters. They are expensive & he gets 2 pr every year as he is constantly in motion outside, but they are well worth it.

Very well made. The insert is the thickest and best I've seen. Unfortunately I have a very narrow heel and it with the rest of the back of my legs move quite a bit up and down as I walk in them. They would probably be good for skiing but not for just walking with snowshoes or crampons which is what I would be using them for.
They also leaked severly after only two minutes in six inches of water.
I had to return them and go with Carbela's Trans-Alaska boot.

these are really heavy duty boots, and, therefore, a little bulky compared to some. they are perfect for very cold weather, and not too warm for cool weather, at least for someone with chronically cold feet. they're comfortable and easy to put on, and they look nice. honestly, I can't think of a bad thing to say about them.

set my dad these boots in the Yukon, They hold up well for -30 dog sledding. Easy to put on, they come up high so deep snow doesn't get in. good news is you get a quad workout just tromping around in these bad boys!

These Boots are insanely warm. I have a long drive across the frozen MN Plains, in a drafty old Jeep, with a bad heater, on my commute in to work every night. The Cold Feet, are a fading memory now! And the Price, No One could come even close! Thanks!
I'm very pleased with Baffin's Quality,
They know whats' up, when It comes to Pac-Boots, see for Yourself!

My sweetheart's brand new 18 inch lens Obcession telescope and the coldest winter arrived on the same day.

Nothing could keep him from observing the winter sky on many 11 degree nights.

The fabulous Baffin Boots made it all possible. They are all they say they are and never stopped keeping him warm.

The boots were great. I found they ran small and a bit tight in the toe. That problem was corrected by stepping up a full size

Alright, these boots are ridiculously warm. These things would have saved the dinosaurs. I ended up shying away from using them because they are incredibly warm. They're the greatest boot for standing around in freezing temperatures. If you're snowshoeing or anything active you'll find they are too much. They fit a little loose in the heal. If you are in-between sizes, size down! 10.5? Get a 10! Ideal boot for dormant outdoor winter activity. Nobody gets cold feet with these. More hardcore boot than I had realized.
