- Are the Baffin Icefield boots fully waterproof?
- Yes. The nylon and polyurethane upper with a rubber shell at the base is built to keep water out in slush and wet snow. The lacing and seams are the places to watch over time.
- How warm are they for very cold weather?
- They are a winter boot with a fleece lining and a thick foam insole, so they handle typical cold-weather use. They are not a rated expedition boot, so pair them with warm socks for extreme cold.
- Do they run true to size?
- Baffin winter boots generally fit close to standard US sizing, but the tall shaft and thick lining leave little room for thick socks. If you wear heavy socks, consider going up half a size.
- Are they good for walking long distances?
- They are better for shoveling, commuting and short walks than for long hikes. At about 43.7 oz per boot they are heavy, and the stiff sole takes getting used to.
- Can I drive in them?
- It is not ideal. The bulky sole and tall shaft reduce pedal feel, so many owners switch to lighter shoes for driving.
- What is the shaft height and closure?
- The boot has a high shaft with a fast lacing system that tightens quickly, even with gloves on. The laces run up the front of the shaft.
- Where is the Baffin Icefield Waterproof Snow Boot cheapest?
- At Shoebacca, for $276.00, as of our latest check.
