Great warm boot for winter!

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015

I was looking for a warm and comfortable boot that would slip on and off easily when going out to skiing and kiteboarding (snowboard) destinations. This boot fit the bill perfectly! It is super warm and comfy! I read other reviews that complained that the boot leaks when water goes above the shoe part. So, I ordered some KIWI Heavy Duty Water Repellent. I'm gonna try spraying that on them and hopefully they will stay dry on the deep sloppy days. Even if they don't, the inner soles are easy to remove and air dry if necessary. Good boot for snowblowing too. The tread has a good, non-slip grip! I love not having to mess with my old stupid lace up boots. With these you just slip in and go!

Fit fine, very warm, hard to walk in

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

I just got a chance to try out my new boots with our first snow up here in Big Bear, California. The boots are snug and warm. I normally wear a 10 / 10 and 1/2 but with these I ordered an 11 so I could wear thicker socks. They fit fine. The only problem I had with them though is the tread collects snow, ice, and mud, so you end up walking after just a few steps on stacks of mud and ice. I had to constantly stop and scrape my shoes off. I don't know why they collect so much stuff in the tread. It is really difficult to walk in them. I almost felt like I was going to twist my ankle a couple times. So I would probably not order these again for the snow.

You won't win any fashion shows with these, but you will stay warm and dry!

I wanted a pair of boots to get me through this last winter. To be honest, I expected these boots to start to wear down after a little use. But to my surprise they are quite sturdy and resilient! I believe that I can keep them for several years!

They are LARGE. The insulation has been great. Definitely keeps the feet warm while trudging through shin-high snow. And they are watertight, I once stepped in a puddle that came up to my ankle, and not a drop got through.

You won't win any fashion shows with these, but if you need to walk through snow and cold, they are great!

SIZE UP

I wear a size 10 so I purchased a 10 but I found that they were too tight. I sized up to an 11 and found that if I wear thin knee-high socks, the 11 are easier to put-on but they are still tight. I am now waiting to a size 12 to see if they fit better.

These are my first snow boots since I'm going to NY this New Years, I bought size 12 because typically I'm a size 11 but you gotta wear thick socks with boots you know. Any ways I put these bad boys on and they felt great, they had an extra layer of insulation which I totally didn't expect so your feet can stay nice and warm. On the picture they look nice and straight but that was the only downside for me that it looks like you have some sort of bulge due to the stretch tie on the top I'm sure as I break them in they'll look like that.
I would recommend these boots they are great!

Warm! Warm! Warm!!!!

Size: 13Color: OnyxVerified Purchase

My husband is 82 and diabetic. His feet are ALWAYS cold - until we got these boots!!!!!! He says it's the first time his feet have been warm in YEARS! Sizing info: he wears a size 12 so we bought a size 13. He needed serious help getting them on the first 10 or so times - he pulls, I push, big time. It's gotten a bit better with repeated use but we still have a way to go before he can put them on himself. BTW - there's a liner, and you might think you can just take the liner out and then it will be easier to put on except the boot without the insert has hard, plastic and very uncomfortable parts. Still, if your feet have been cold forever; they won't be anymore if you buy these boots.

I would say the boot works as expected. I live in Chicago and though we had only a mild winter so far, it has held up on its own. I have an average wide foot and would recommend to anyone buying online shoes or boots to go to a sport store and size your foot on width. If it's not in the everyday range then make sure you use that information accordingly and don't expect every boot or shoe to fit. My dog has not destroyed them yet but is trying, no subtraction to the company for my mistake of leaving a boot with Velcro on the ground for her to play with. Only damaged the strap (easy sewing fix) and did not puncture any other part so the boot holds up to an aggressive chewer.

I bought these boots to wear in Yellowstone in the winter. In past years I have worn Kamiks and I really like them. I couldn't find the Kamik type I liked in my size which is size 11; however, the Northside Men's Alberta II Combination Cold appeared to be almost the same boot although made in China. The size 11 in this boot when I received it was too small, so I returned it and exchanged it for a size 12. The size 12 is still a little snug but with thin socks I think it will be just fine next winter. I will followup later and let you know how long I can wear these boots comfortably and if they are suitable for Yellowstone's cold winters.

The media could not be loaded.

So almost one year after I purchased these boots I wanted to write a review. We went up to White Mtns of NH. There are blizzard conditions, 40 mph winds and -21 below! Literally my wife, who didn’t have these boots, feet were so cold that I gave her my socks and went barefoot in the boots. They performed unbelievable and my feet never even got the hint of cold. I wear a 10w or 10.5 and got the 10’s which fit with some room to spare. Excellent boot and you won’t be disappointed or cold!!

Size is way to small

I waer a man's size 9 but ordered 2 sizes larger after printing out their size chart and measuring to be sure. I could not even begin to slide my foot into the boot, even took out liner but not even close. My wife wears a lady's 6 and she found it impossible. This is only the second item I have ever had to return after many many orders. Bummed out1

This is my first true winter as I have just moved up north. So I knew I was going to need the real deal of all winter products, and these boots are the truth. The store near me ran out of the men’s size that I would need, but Amazon had it. And it’s been amazing. These boots are the best
