Baffin Resolute

Bought these boots for a business trip to Russia. These are outstanding boots. Just returned from the trip - and my feet were never cold, even though it was -27 to -30 the whole trip. Very comfortable to walk in; easy to slip on and off (after entering buildings, could remove easily to put on regular fashion boots for work). Size was exactly my normal fit (no extra room for thick socks - but I was astonished to find I didn't want thick socks on anyway. Normal tights or socks were all that I needed). Perhaps not the most stylish, but when it was that far below zero, fashion was not at the top of the list. Looked hard for a boot that would work in extreme cold - yet be easy to manage for changing (some cold weather boots are great looking - but take forever to unlace/lace back up). These boots were exactly what I needed. Recommend these highly.

I have been searching for a boot this warm for a while. My feet are always cold, so being in very low temperatures for an extended period of time can be very uncomfortable. I specifically bought these with the intention of using them for ice fishing. Yesterday, I wore these boots on the ice for about 4 hours! Usually, my toes go numb after about 20 minutes while wearing my North Face Chilkats. These Baffin boots kept my toes warm the whole time! They truly are a polar rated boot. There are a couple downsides to these boots, however. First, they are bulky which makes it difficult to walk far distances in deep snow. Second, they do not provide enough heel/ankle support, so I get a lot of slip with each step. Hiking up or down rocky terrain is difficult.

I have had these boots now a month and I can tell you they are warm! I work with horses, cleaning stalls and teaching lessons. I also live in New England where it can be frigid and damp. I typically am out working most of the day usually with out a chance to go inside. My feet have not gotten cold once! You do need to take out the liners occasionally to dry out.

These are beautiful warm boots. They are easy to get on with my high instep. They are just too much boot for my needs. They are really warm and cozy. They are too heavy for my small legs. They are kind of tight in the toe. My feet are wide in the toe.

I did not think that I would ever get my feet in theses boots when I first took them out of the box but it is amazing how they open up! They are super warm yet not really heavy boots! These boots are perfect for our Canadian winters! Zappos rocks!
