- Is the Baffin Yellowknife actually waterproof?
- Yes. The leather upper has a waterproof membrane, so slush and wet snow stay out as long as the leather is maintained.
- How warm is it compared with a Sorel Caribou?
- Less warm. The Caribou is a heavily insulated pac boot for extreme cold; the Yellowknife is a lighter, waterproof leather boot better suited to everyday winter use.
- Does it run true to size?
- Most buyers take their normal size, but the fit is a standard D width and runs snug, so wide feet may want to size up or try before buying.
- Can I wear it for long walks?
- Yes. At about 16 oz per boot with a low heel, it is comfortable for commuting and errands, though it is not a hiking boot.
- How tall is the shaft?
- About 9 inches, which covers the ankle and lower calf and keeps snow out during shovelling or deep drifts.
- What socks work best with it?
- Medium-weight wool socks suit most winter days; add a thicker sock on very cold days since the boot has no extreme-cold rating.
