Are these boots actually waterproof?

Yes. The leather and wool upper uses Merrell's M Select DRY membrane, which blocks water while letting moisture escape. Seams and the zipper are the areas to keep clean and treated.

They have 100 g M Select WARM insulation and a faux-fur collar. That is enough for typical winter commuting and walking, but not for extreme cold or long periods standing still outdoors.

Do they run true to size?

Merrell measures its fit on a size 8 medium width. The boots are built for a medium-width foot with room for a midweight sock; shoppers between sizes often size up.

How do I put them on?

A full-length YKK zipper runs down the inside of the shaft, so you open it, step in and zip up rather than pulling the boot over your heel.

Are they good for ice?

The M Select GRIP rubber outsole is designed for traction on snow and icy surfaces. No rubber compound replaces caution on wet ice, but the lug pattern is made for winter footing.

What kind of care do they need?

Wipe off salt and dirt, let them air dry away from direct heat, and refresh the water-repellent finish on the leather and wool with a suitable treatment.

Our take on the Merrell Haven Pull-On Polar Waterproof

The Merrell Haven Pull-On Polar Waterproof is a tall women's winter boot built for snow and slush. It pairs a waterproof full-grain leather and wool upper with Merrell's M Select DRY membrane, 100 g M Select WARM insulation and a faux-fur collar. A full-length YKK side zipper makes it easy to pull on, and a Kinetic Fit insole, nylon arch shank and M Select GRIP rubber outsole handle support and traction. It suits commuters and walkers who want warmth and grip without a heavy pac boot; compared with Sorel and Kamik winter boots it is lighter and more flexible, but its 100 g insulation is modest for deep cold and the tall shaft takes space under pants.
