Detailed Review
The Northside Men's Tundra Snow Boot excels in providing warmth and comfort through its advanced insulation technology. With a -25°F thermo rating from the 200g Thinsulate insulation, these boots are ideal for frigid environments. The removable faux sherpa cover insole adds an extra layer of coziness, ensuring long-lasting comfort during extended wear.
When it comes to ease of use, the D-ring lace entry system coupled with top hooks makes adjusting the fit simple and effective. Furthermore, the padded collar hugs your ankle snugly without compromising flexibility, allowing for comfortable movement while walking or engaging in winter activities.
One of the standout features of these boots is their All Terrain Grip outsole, designed with a specific lug pattern that provides reliable traction on ice and snow. This feature significantly reduces the risk of slipping, giving you more confidence as you traverse slippery pathways. However, note that the weight of the boots may be slightly heavier than some competitors, which could affect prolonged wear for certain users.
In summary, the Northside Men's Tundra Snow Boot combines functionality with style, making it a great choice for anyone looking to tackle winter weather in comfort.

User Reviews
I normally wear size 9 1/2 and got size 10 for these boots. They are very comfortable and fit great with my thermal socks. Keep my feet very warm and dry.
They replaced my old ones which were 12 years old.I wish they slipped on easier.
Nice boots! Well constructed with good materials. Feet stayed very warm in close to single digit temp while outside for 2 hrs! Would purchase again! Very fair price!
Ordered these for an impending snow in January of 2016. They didn't make it in time for that "storm" (dusting to an inch, max), but I have worn them for, as of today (1/18/2018), 3-4 snow events of varying degree here (Southeast Virginia...maybe 2 snows, 1 "significant, a Winter). They keep my feet dry, and relatively warm ( I usually wear a thin pair of dress socks, and a pair of crew or boot socks with them). No major complaints about fit. Can't complain much, considering the price. Paid $39.98 in 2016, going for around $55, now. They're not meant for exploring Antarctica, or working lumber or oil industry in Alaskan back-country, but for an area with a few light to moderate annual snowfalls, they do the job.
these are great boots... i ordered them for my husband but i am able to wear them until i get mine... they are very warm and are even a little big on me and i have big feet!
Great product and fast delivery. I ordered a size 8 (my regular size). There is no support in the boot for your arches.... so if you use an aftermarket arch support, it may be too snug inside for heavy winter socks. You may want to order a 1/2 size larger for that situation. Paid a little over 50 for them but at least I have them - winter boots sell out quick. I think a fair price would have been around 35 to 40.
These had great reviews across multiple websites and I am glad I purchased them. They were a lot cheaper than name brands so I was worried they'd be cheap but the material is stong and I hope it lasts a long time. I use them primarily for hunting in the coldest climates of North Carolina, which isn't crazy, but I had these in 24-26 degree mornings and I didn't have to use toe heaters. Using wool socks actually made my feet a little too warm but it's all good.
Got for husband's xmas gift. Size fits great. But the sewing in the boot hurts his left ancle so much he can't wear them at all. So I wouldn't recommend buying. Can't get a refund to. Brand new never worn waste of money.
