My big winter boots I have used for the last few years got a split in them today. I use them a lot as I walk about 1km a day to and from work. I have to walk up hills and on ice at times. Which boots should I buy that will be good quality, keep my feet warm and dry, and last repeated daily use?
I’ve had a pair of these boots for about 7 years now. The built in cleats are amazing for walking icy hills and I’m sure have saved me from falling on my ass but they making walking on ice so easy how would I know?
Actually these look like an upgraded version from what I have. My cleats would swing out into a different section of the boot. Looks like these swing out and then rotate and go back into the same tread location would should work way better than what I have because if I get any rocks stuck in my treads I have to pick them out before I can switch modes.
There are a few different models on that website. For BIFL you might want to go with the metal cleats, but the plastic ones have been working pretty well.
