Mountain Warehouse Ohio Womens Snow Boots - Waterproof Ladies Winter Shoes, Textile Upper, Breathable Thermal Lining - Best Footwear for Ski Holidays

Product Information

Still, the Thermo Chill isn't tall enough or warm enough for some winter snowstorms or submersion in deep water. They are made for hiking and do this well, but they won't be useful for those who must trudge through deep snow to chop wood or shovel the driveway. We also have concerns about the fabric eyelets that seem likely to break over time from cinching the laces down tight. The Salomon Quest Winter boot is a more durable option offering similar warmth and weather protection but slightly less traction. But for winter hikers and others in temperate climates who want good boots on a tight budget, the Merrell Thermo Chill boots are what we recommend. The UGG Butte is a stylish leather winter boot with wool insulation that feels great against the feet. Comfort is a priority. The boot is light and doesn't feel as bulky and cumbersome as heavier Pac boots. The leather exterior looks great, and the cuff can be rolled down to show off the wool lining or kept up for an all-leather look. The lower section of the boot is completely waterproof, meaning the boot can stomp through puddles and shallow snowdrifts without getting wet.

Analysis and Test Results

We have some doubts about the long-term durability of this product due to tailoring discrepancies. We had no issues, and the boots showed no wear during our test period. We don't love the style of these boots either, but their great performance is enough for us to forgive their clunky looks. These are the best options if you need a solid boot for harsh winter weather and are shopping on a budget. If you need a taller shaft and better traction, our first choice is the The North Face Chilkat V 400, which is not much more expensive. Alternately, the Merrell Thermo Chill Mid excels at hiking on varied terrain. It is the same price as the Bugaboot but not as warm or weather-protective. The lightweight nature of the Butte means it isn't as warm as others, but it is still warm enough for winter days in most places. And although water begins to seep into the boot at a submersion depth of 6.5 inches, we rarely found puddles that deep in real life. Overall, these boots perform well and will be suitable for most users, and the style is some of the best on the market. Only users with specific extreme cold or water resistance needs will need to look elsewhere. This very comfortable and inexpensive winter hiking boot has excellent traction, making it perfect for winter walks and treks These affordable boots nearly match the performance of the best models but without straining your wallet
