Patagonia's new
Wintertide Boot is as good looking as it is warm. Not only that, but the sole means business, these are boots you can walk in comfortably for a long time, perfect for winter travel and adventure. They are lace-up boots, so you can customize the fit, but they are easy to get on and off. You can lace them in such a way that you slip your foot in and out without having to fool with the laces. They come in different colors, but I love the silvery gray furry fleece contrasted with jet black, which look fabulous with skinny jeans.
They're waterproof, and a recycled foot bed wicks away moisture to keep feet dry. There is plenty of cushion in the recycled EVA Patagonia Air insole, and I think there's something to this, because for the warmth and comfort, there's not a ton of bulk. Anyone looking for a lower profile winter boot would probably be very pleased with these. The outer sole is recycled content too, this is Patagonia, they'll be as eco friendly as possible.
Sizing for me ran short. I'm a true 8.5, and normally get 9's in athletic footwear. With these, I actually needed 10's, so you might want to go up a size to start. These are awesome boots (and would make a killer holiday gift), find them
