This is a very warm and well made boot. I am a shoe size 8.5 and I ordered a nine. The boot was too small so I decided to return them. If you are a size 8.5 I recommend ordering a size 10,
These are exactly what I was expecting! I sized up 2 sizes and they fit perfect with my heavier wool socks. I purchased them on sale and we're delivered a couple days early! Going to be ordering another pair for my daughter!
OURLAND offered exceptional service, excellent packaging plus a lovely first order discount. The Baffin Impact has been the only boot I have worn for many years. The size 11 is now consistent. For a while the sizes were not consistent. This boot offers excellent arch support. Although I need to add my own orthotics inside. The boot allows enough room to do so. Due to flat feet and genetic connective tissue injuries this is the only boot I found that allows me walk and hike without injury. They provide support but are still flexible at the ball of the foot. I hike mountains all year in these boots. And no my feet do not become too hot. But then I am a thin person. The nice part is I am always prepared for snow, mud, rain and the grocery store. People sometimes make comments but once I start in on the DNA connective tissue issues and flat feet they back off as their eyes glaze over. Also, I easily become cold but not in these boots. Not even at 7000 - 9000 feet in the dead of winter in Utah.
I have been wearing these boots for the last 10 years or more. Minnesota winters with horse keeping aren’t easy. These are great boots !!! My feet ( which are temperamental!) keep warm in subzero temps for hours. They are comfy and warm. The best!!!
