- Is this boot actually waterproof?
- Yes, the leather upper is treated waterproof, so rain and slush stay out. Water can still enter over the top in deep snow or puddles, so pair it with gaiters for drifts.
- How cold can I wear it?
- It is a cold-weather commuter boot, not an expedition boot. The wool lining keeps feet warm on freezing commutes, but for sustained sub-zero or deep-snow use, Baffin's insulated pac boots are the better pick.
- How does it fit?
- It comes in normal width with a lace-up closure, so you can adjust the fit. Most shoppers take their usual US size; if you wear thick socks, consider a half size up.
- Is the lining real wool?
- No, it is a faux shearling wool-blend lining. It is warm and soft, but it does not breathe or regulate moisture like real wool.
- How does it compare with Baffin's pac boots?
- This boot is lighter and more street-friendly, with leather looks and laces. Baffin's pac boots are taller, more insulated and rated for far colder temperatures, but bulkier and less suited to everyday wear.
- What should I do to keep it waterproof?
- Clean the leather and reapply a waterproofing treatment each season. Avoid drying it on direct heat, which can crack the leather and mat the lining.
