Baffin Impact | Women's Boots Review

I've couldnt seem to find a warm boot. Until now! I was surprised how light weight they are and how warm they keep my feet! Wish they made half sizes. I did go a size up and they are a little loose. Overall happy, they are very comfortable, fit great in my snowshoes, and keep my feet warm on snowmobile.

I finally found "the" boot. I have been looking forever for a boot that would keep my feet warm. I had to retire my Lacrosse 20+ year old boots and was looking for anything that would compare to being as warm as they were. I finally found them! This morning our temperature was -5 so I thought it would be a good day to go romping around outside just to see how warm they actually are. I was VERY impressed! I was outside for over two hours walking around in the snow and my feet were so toasty warm. I have a lot of problems with cold feet and I "have" to have a boot that will keep them warm. These are it for me. And did I mention how comfy they are? It is like walking on a mattress. :) I guess the only thing that was a little hard for me to get used to, at first, are the higher tops these have, but after wearing them for an hour or so they limbered right up and I was used to them. Like any shoe/bootyou buy, at first, you need to get used to them on your feet. Some people complain about them being heavy. I don't think they are at all. My former boots were "much" heavier. I suppose if you are use to a very light, cold boot, these would seem heavier. But, that is where the warmth comes in. They are a very well-made boot. I just can't say enough good about them. I would give them more stars if I could....UPDATE: Still loving these boots. The only thing I have noticed is that if you want your feet to stay REALLY warm, make sure to warm the boot up first. We have a porch that stays around 40 degrees in the winter and my feet are always a bit cooler when I just put them on from the porch. That is to be expected of course, but they don't seem to warm up at all after wearing them for awhile. When I bring them in for awhile, that really makes a huge difference. Still an excellent boot! They are holding up real well.

I bought those to prepare for curling outdoor in Manitoba. I normally wear size 7 but after checking other users' reviews, I bought size 8 M. It was just right size and kept my feet warm when I was curling, sightseeing and walking outdoors in Manitoba Winnipeg. Also love one more feature of this boots: easy to wear in and out. Super convenient at the airport for security check! No need to lace up or down. No struggle to take feet out of boots (even socks). Also it truly was waterproof when it snowed and rained. But if you were going to stand still at outdoors for quite a while without moving, your feet do feel cold from the sole. At least for me at the curling opening ceremony. But once I moved around, the boots warmed up right away. Strongly recommended.

When I first put these on I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep them. The toe area, as noted by a lot of other reviews, is very tight and feels uncomfortable. It also was like wearing a ski boot. I wore them around the house for a while and wasn’t sure what to do. I ended up keeping them and am glad I did! The toe area loosened up as did the stiff boot feel, or I got used to the latter, but the most important things: they are comfortable to walk in for long times and mostly, they keep my feet warm!!! I work outside in the snow so keeping my feet warm is vital. They’re easy to slip on and off and there is a drawstring at the top of the boot to help keep snow out. I attached the clasps around the calf area but don’t have them tight. If I were to hike or need to walk longer distances in deep snow I’d probably consider cinching them down tightly but for everyday usage it’s not necessary. Glad I kept them and recommend them if you’re looking for something to keep your feet warm in cold winter conditions.

Excellent boots for snowshoeing and snow hiking. I had an older pair of Baffin Impact that I used so much I blew out the heel of the liner, so I ordered a new pair and love them even more than my first pair. They're strong and warm in deep snow, and the new features are nice, e.g., the plastic clips on the straps make taking the boots on and off even easier when the straps are frozen with snow. The boots do have some slippage in the heel (for me at least), but as long as I wear tight, knee-length wool socks, this isn't uncomfortable and doesn't cause blisters at all. I find these boots very comfortable, warm, and perfect for snow sports!

I am a size 9 and purchased these 1 size bigger to allow for thick socks. If I do not wear a sock, they are a bit too big and my heel does slide up. However, I will always wear a sock and the buckles allow you to tighter the boot to fit, as such with a sock and a bit of tightening the boot fits perfectly. Extremely warm and comfortable. They are a little lighter than my sorrels but much warmer than my sorrels. Would highly recommend them.

Great boots! I wear them when I go snowmobiling, and I must say they are perfect for that. They are comfortable and most importantly they keep me warm and dry all day long. But, at the end of the day you have to remember to do following: carefully remove (take out) the inner boot system and boot insole, and allow it to air dry overnight; Next morning, you can put it back in, and you'll be all set. The inner boot system is designed to keep you warm (by maintaining you body's temperature), while the outer boot protects you from wind, snow, ice, etc. Well, it is obvious that there will be some sort of condensation between these two boot layer (inner and outer) which means that the inner boot system and boot insole will be wet (or at least damp); therefore, you need to make sure you allow your boots to properly air dry before you wear them again. Now, when it comes to a sizing, they are true to the size, but if you are planning on wearing super thick wool socks or maybe several sock layers (e.g. evaporator and regulator and/or insulator), then you may want to consider going a size up. If you are half-size (e.g 8.5), then 9 would be just perfect fit for you.
