I just ordered me some North Face winter boots I can wait to give them a try. But knowing how things go once I get them it will be nice until next winter.

ProThey’re not really construction boots but it’s hard to beat a pair of Sorels with removable liners for warm, dry feet.
When growing up we had boots something like that. Remove the liner at night to air out/dry.

January 8, 2015 at 8:46 pm #250609I’ve worn Kamik boots for several years in the winter. I don’t wear them everyday, mostly really cold days or if there is snow/slush on the ground. They are nice boots, hold up well, and are extremely warm and comfortable.

January 9, 2015 at 5:14 am #250760Sorels still make boots with the removable liner? Those really work and keep your feet warm. I have been looking for those for a while.

January 9, 2015 at 8:47 pm #251187I go with the multiple layers way also. Trick is to use different fitting shirts so you can still move after adding them all.

North America (Indians)
Oh are you from North America? But not native? I wonder how long you have to live there to be considered native?

Those are some serious boots. If I lived up north I would have a pair of those.

Wow, I didn’t look at the price. The Polar series may be a bit of overkill for most situations…I looked around Baffin’s website some, these boots are pretty much the same style, specs, and price as the Kamik boots I have.

My last set of boots were columbia, one winter and the soles cracked and soaked up water like a towel. No help from their customer service
