- Are the Icebug Moen NT good on ice?
- Yes. The studded rubber outsole is the main reason people buy them, and owners report solid grip on ice and packed snow. They are not a substitute for crampons on steep or hard alpine ice.
- Are they fully waterproof?
- The upper is waterproof and the fleece lining keeps feet warm, so slush and wet snow stay out. Water can still enter over the top in deep snow or puddles.
- Can I wear them indoors?
- You can, but the metal studs are noisy on hard floors and can feel slippery or scratch surfaces. Many owners switch to other shoes indoors.
- How do they compare with regular hiking shoes?
- They trade some cushioning and light weight for winter traction and warmth. For summer trails a standard hiking shoe is more comfortable; for icy winter walks the Moen NT is the better pick.
- Do they run true to size?
- Owners generally find them true to size, but the fleece lining and thicker socks can make a snug fit. Try them with the socks you plan to wear in winter.
- Are they warm enough for very cold weather?
- They suit cold winter walks and light hikes, but they are shoes, not insulated boots. In deep cold or long standing periods, a warmer winter boot is a better choice.
- Where is the Icebug Moen NT Winter Shoes cheapest?
- At Scandinavian Outdoor, for $124.85, as of our latest check.
