Winter boots…. Thank you whomever..

[Farmerj]

Someone commented in another thread where it was asked what people wear for late season winter footwear…

Someone recommended the N-1B extreme cold weather boot.

One of the things I don’t like about vapor boot is the shear weight.

So I took a chance on your recommendation and got some N-1B…


It was -4*F yesterday and when the boots came I spent 4-5 hours outside in them fixing the atv, plowing snow, and taking the dog for a walk.



I got some Irish setter 600g boots a couple weeks back and they are still needing to be broke it, even after 3 days of wearing them and walking the dog.



I’m loving those N-1B’s. I got three sets of liners to go with when I ordered to always have dry feet.

The boots?
I was army so we had the vapor barrier boots. Commonly know as Mickey Mouse (black) or bunny (white) boots.


N-1B, I guess, are US Air Force cold weather mukluks. Light as tennis shoes. Zero break in needed.

How's traction on slopes? Doesn't seem like there's much for lugs.

You’re asking a flatlander….

I had little issue with traction on the snowpack and ice I have here in Minnesota.

I've seen those before. How do they run as far as sizing?

I got grade 1 large.

I wear size 12 boots. These fit alright and I have space for heavy wool socks if I want.
