Baffin Impact Men's Boots, Mid-calf Height, Available in Black & White color, for Extreme Cold weather, Snow and/or Ice-covered environments, Snowshoe Compatible

Long review; I hope it helps. First and foremost, warmest boots I've ever owned, period. Before I go into a bit more detail on that, let's talk size. You need to be aware that you will need AT LEAST one full size larger than what you normally wear. I would consider my feet normal width, but I wear size 14 in shoes and my previous boots. The pictures I've attached contain the winter boots I'm replacing (US14/33cm), as well as my everyday shoes (US14/32cm). This is to illustrate two things. One, these new Baffin Impact boots (US15/33cm) are gigantic! Hopefully the pics do justice. As anyone with large feet like mine can attest, "normal" size 14/15 shoes/boots, like those pictured here, usually dwarf most friends' and family's footwear. These Baffin boots are almost comical. All the people over the years who have told me I have clown shoes or skis, I can't wait for them to see these. When the box arrived, I wondered what the heck is that lol. Anyway... That's not a bad thing but I want to critically address some key points about these Baffin boots, at the size 15 which I bought. Some reviews have suggested, as well as, returned these boots because they were so big they could not drive with them on. This complaint is completely specific to the purchaser's vehicle. I drive a Ford Explorer and even with these giant boots, I have absolutely no issue driving with them on. Entering and exiting the vehicle is easy. No issues with physically moving from gas to brake, nor does pushing on one pedal impact the other. So I'd say buyer beware, but with my vehicle I have zero problems driving. Next, because they are so tall and so large in circumference around the neck of the boot, do not expect to fit snow pants over the top of these. Will not happen. My snow pants always have the two part design with the inner-most portion that goes inside boot, and the main pant leg going over the boot (the other normal sized, non-Baffin boots I show in the pics, this is easy and not an issue). Impossible with these Baffin boots. Snow pants must go inside the boot. They do have upper buckle fasteners, and the drawstring closure at the top can get snug, and stay snug, around your leg. However, I have NOT yet tried these boots in knee deep snow, so I cannot speak to their ability to limit snow from entering the boot. Lastly, regarding size, and emphasizing previous reviews about purchasing a larger size than typical, that is a must. Size 15 is snug. When wearing normal socks AND wool socks, I have zero wiggle room. By that I mean from heel to toe, and side to side, my foot is making contact with the inside of the boot. Not uncomfortable, or a deal breaker (although if they sold half sizes, 15.5, I would prefer those. That is only because I know that boots should always allow some extra room because that extra room is the best way to keep your feet warm inside winter boots. Again, they fit me. They do not hurt my feet. A couple times so far I've gone tubing at my local ski hill which required all day walking at an incline, often with slippery or uneven terrain. I did not have any pain or discomfort during or after activity as a result of wearing these boots. They are heavy. They have to be with the temperature rating and how big they are. Did they stop me from having fun each time, or cause issue? Absolutely not. I previously purchased some skin tight water shoes from Amazon (trust me there is a point to mentioning); they are size US13/32cm. When I purchased these Baffin boots, Amazon displayed a message for me that said based on your previous purchase, size 13 should fit. I read the reviews prior and most people mentioned the need to go a full size bigger than normal. Eventhough I usually wear 14/32cm-ish, I had the Amazon message about size 13 on my brain so I originally purchased these Baffin boots in size 14. I returned them as they required a very forced fit that hurt my feet. Size 15.5 would be preferable, but size 15 are fine, with zero issues. Deep breath, lastly, they are hands down the warmest boot I've ever owned. I previously mentioned wearing two pairs of socks with these boots. I have some minor circulation and nerve type issues in my feet and they usually get cold enough that even with good quality previously owned boots, they limit my fun and time outside. I will never wear two socks with these Baffin boots again! My feet were on fire and sweating even after all day on the ski slopes. Crazy warm. Love these boots.

I love my new men's size 11 Baffin Impact Snow Boots - they exceed my expectations. I bought them specifically to use in deep, drifted snow in sub-zero weather to feed horses. The nylon snow collar that pulls tight against my leg to keep deep snow from falling inside of the boots is well made. No question they will be warm enough. I tried them on in the house to see how they mold to my foot, and found them to be comfortable. I am impressed with the quality of the materials used to cover the padded/insulated lining, so expect a lot of wear time before the material starts to falter. The tread on the bottom concentrates my weight into contact points with the ice - increasing the pressure, so I don't expect to slip around on the ice as much. With only 2 buckles to tighten the boot around my leg/ankle, they are easy and fast to slip on and off. I wear a size 10 men's shoe, so ordered the size 10 snow boots originally, but found the boots to be a bit too tight. I ordered the next size up - size 11, and they fit perfect, so my recommendation is to buy the next size up, as the sizes tend to run small.But the most amazing "user experience" of this entire purchase is how easy and painless it was to exchange the size 10 boot for the size 11, and it cost me absolutely nothing to send them back. All I can say is that Amazon has incredible customer service. I let Amazon know I needed to exchange, printed the return UPS label and return authorization, and dropped the boots off at a UPS pickup location. My new boots were already on the way, even before I had the return label printed - it took only 4 days to get the new boots. I received them one day after I dropped off the size 10 boots at the UPS store. I give the boots and entire "user experience" 10 stars out of 5. The quality of the Baffin Impact Show boots exceeds what I expected to find, expecially for the price I paid through Amazon. I would buy these boots again, although I think they will outlast me. I expect to get many years of service from these boots.

I live in a place where our winter temperatures reach -60F (-51C), so I don't mess around when it comes to winter gear.I got these boots recently and decided to try them out when our temperatures hit single digits (0 - 10F), and sadly, had to take them off again. Why? Because they're TOO warm for comfort right now (they are rated to -148F / -100C, so I suppose I should have expected that). I'll definitely be taking these back out when the temperatures hit below -20F and giving them another shot (and will update the review), but until then I'll have to stick with the Baffin Mountains (only rated to -76F / -60C) which have a very similar fit.For me, I had to go up a size on the fit (usually 11 shoes/boots, went up to 12 and they're a great fit). According to the sizing, they say to take out the liners to size the boots, since they will morph to your feet, and should be snug.The boots are easy to slip on and off, but because of the foam lining fit snugly. You don't have to spend a lot of time getting them on, but you don't have to sacrifice warmth for the trade off. At the top there is a nice pull cord so you can slip your pants/jeans/whatever under them and snug them up, acting like gators to keep the snow out. The boots are quite a bit bigger than the Baffin Mountain style though, to the point that I'm not really comfortable driving with them, but I know if I break down mid winter I won't have a problem walking for miles in them. They're comfortable (very), have great grips, solid craftsmanship, and boy are they warm. No loss of toes here.Buy these if you plan to spend extended time outside in below zero weather with very little activity, or if you have extreme circulation problems such that no other boot has been able to keep you warm before. Otherwise, if it doesn't drop to 0 or below (minimum), you may want to consider one of the lesser rated Baffin models. Seriously, these are extreme boots.
