Baffin Men's Snow Monster Insulated All-weather Boot

My feet get cold, really cold. After the last round of bitter cold, I decided to get the best pac boots that I could afford. After some research, I found that Baffin seems to be among the best. I prefer to buy shoes locally but could not find these at any of the local outdoors stores. Amazon came to the rescue!I normally wear a size 11 shoe but wanted to make sure that I could wear these with thick socks and not have them too tight, so I purchased these in a size 12. I was a little concerned that they could be a little too big. When they arrived, I took them out of the box and examined them carefully. The insulation is thick - very thick - and if anything, I thought they would be difficult to get on. However, the inner lining is really smooth, and my foot slid right in without any difficulty. I tried them again, but with a thicker sock and I had the same easy entry. The size 12 was perfect with thicker socks as expected, but they are even snug enough to wear with normal thickness socks as the soft foam layer cuddles your foot.Let's try them out... I hopped on to my open-cab compact utility tractor to clear a little snow (actually a lot). I only spent an hour in this session, but normally my feet would start to feel a little chilly in this time. With these on, my feet actually felt comfortably warm after a short time. I have no doubt that these would keep my feet comfortable in extreme cold as well.These are really comfortable, well-insulated, well-made boots designed for cold weather.

I made the right decision when I purchased this item.I went a size and a half larger and that was a perfect fit.These boots are no frills, a serious choice for serious weather. They are very rugged and they are built to last. Beefy is perhaps an understatement. This pair is rated at nearly 100 degrees below zero F. The liner inside is a half inch thick and that means that you can wear dress socks in them at 15 degrees.With thick wool socks your feet will stay toasty inside these babies in sub zero temperatures. I will post some updates in the future as my work has me outside in the wee morning hours near Butte, Montana at stents lasting in excess of a couple of hours, out in the elements, at a time. Hence the reason for buying them in the first place.The fact that you and I can get these bad boys for less than a couple hundred bucks is terrific, a blessing bestowed upon us, a godsend.The Baffin Snow Monster is a truly appropriate name, as the photos posted by other reviewers show these puppies to be big, puffy, full of insulation Monster Boots.I acquired them in brown and they really look spiffy in that color. I almost want to sport them around Nordstrom just to show off a little.I am thoroughly convinced that if you give these boots a go you will be very pleased. They are the right boots for really cold weather, I did wear them with dress socks in Denver at about 15 degrees and they performed. The tread too is perfect for the snow, great gripping power. I don't think I could have made a better choice.Get a size and a half bigger and you will not be sorry, instead you will be happy with yourself because you made the right call. Enjoy!

I have just spent the last 30 days testing 4 boots of 3 different brands of winter snow/ice boots through conditions of -26 degrees F to 40 degrees in the Adirondack Mountains, NY. I am not receiving anything, nor am I working on behalf of any brand. I am just a consumer that is tired of buying boots that are substandard quality and I needed to find a boot that will last more than 30 times of wearing( it's a sad consumer state of crap products).I tested the Sorrel Conquest, Baffin Monster and Thorogood Endeavor ExtremeFirst, I purchased a pair of Sorrel Conquests. After 20 times of wearing, the lace eyelet ripped out( left another 31 eyelets to break over time), my first pair of these split in the first month of wearing. What I went through to find answers as to why this continues to happen to a boot that has ONLY 47% of the people would recommend over 3 years can be summed up in STAY AWAY FROM SORREL's CONQUEST till it's redesigned. Sad that they sold to Columbia and moved manufacturing to Asia.Thorogood makes a quality product, but these boots weren't as warm as the Baffins. I stood in the cold for 30 min at -10F and I could feel the temps in my toes after 20 min. They are also not as snug as the Sorrel or Baffin, still really well made, just came in 2nd and much better for snow conditions and snowmobile riding, snowshoeing than 85% of the boots out there.Baffin Monster.....My wife thinks they are not the most stylish of the 3( I think the Sorrel wins there, though it's a crap boot). Seeing I need to snow shoe, hunt, work, and just live in these for 6 months, I choose the Baffin Monster. I went out for 6 hours in temps from -10 F in the AM to 15 F in the day. Everything on my body was cold and frozen other than my feet. They are that warm... The grip of the bottom of the boot over ice is unparalleled in anything I have used in the last 10 years.I have owned the Baffin's for over 30 days and It's a work in progress, but as it stands, this is a heck of boot. Thank you Baffin for continuing to make a quality product, making that product in Canada( not Vietnam like Sorrel, which use to be made in Canada). I will report back if anything goes wrong with my boots, but right now typed words can't express how pleased/impressed I happen to be with them.
