The built-in gaiter/bootie has an easy barrel lock closure for walking in deep snow and an Achilles adjustment strap, which can be tightened to further provide ankle support for uneven terrain.

Great Boot, we didn’t expect any less. My husband loves these so much he can’t wait to shovel, now that is a good boot!
Rating: 5 / 5
the only down side the boots are rated at 40 below. I would say about 0 I’m working outside all day.

Comfortable, warm, and the aggressive tread seperates them from my other boots. These have been used for work to snowshoeing. I would recommend them.

I have a size 15 foot, so I’m typically not very picky when it comes to shoes. This boot, however, seemed to be lacking because it seems to focus more on looks than function – and looks are the last thing I care about when I’m clomping around in the woods on a cold/wet/snowy day:).
Even though they didn’t work out for me, I do think these boots look pretty nice. They also seem like they would be fairly warm; although, I sent them back before I wore them in really cold weather.
Here are the main problems I had with these boots:
1) They are a major pain to lace up. There are no speed-lace hooks which makes it really hard to get these laced up tight. If you just want to pull them on and off quickly, they will feel more like a snow/PAC boot – which is fine if that’s what you are looking for.
2) The achilles adjustment strap helps to overcome the crummy lacing system, but the clips feel extremely cheap. I suspect the clips wouldn’t last long before breaking if you tighten them up enough to be useful.
3) The barrel lock closure actually seems like a great idea on a boot like this. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it even close to tightening up enough to keep moisture out – the best I could do was a 1/2″ gap all the way around (at least for my skinny legs:)).
After trying these boots out, I decided to go with the Columbia Bugaboot for about the same price. Those don’t look as cool, but they sure do work better since I can lace them up quickly and then take off hiking. The Columbia boots also have 50% more insulation (600g vs 400g), yet fit more like a hiking boot rather than a snow boot.
Overall, I guess I’d have to recommend these with reservations. For occasional use while shoveling the driveway they would work great – but if you plan to take them into the woods I would look elsewhere.

good boot warm comfortable, it has a clouser on the top of the boot to help prevent water and snow from entering good soles.
excellent for the price…very light. i replaced a $200 boot that was too heavy uncomfortable to wear.
