Why your feet hurt
A warm boot should not cost you your toes
Tap a spot to see why it hurts.
-
When your feet are tilted all day, everything above them adjusts to compensate.
In ArcticYou keep a natural stance on the trail. -
A raised heel tips you forward, and your knees absorb what your feet cannot.
In ArcticNo hard shape pressing on one spot all day. -
A stiff sole stops your foot bending, so the work travels up into your lower legs.
In ArcticYour foot moves instead of being held still. -
Your toes are held in a point all day, so the widest part of your foot carries the pressure.
In ArcticYour toes splay even over thick winter socks.
Nothing pressing. Nothing tilting.

Questions
Arctic questions, answered
How warm are the Arctic boots?
Made for serious cold. The thick moisture wicking fleece lining keeps you warm while pulling dampness away, and the high top quilted ankle collar seals in heat, so these handle deep winter days well.
Are they waterproof or water resistant?
These are fully waterproof. The quilted synthetic upper has sealed seams that lock out snow, slush and rain, making them a strong pick for wet, snowy conditions.
How is the traction on snow and ice?
The flexible anti slip rubber sole uses a deep tread that grips packed snow and icy pavement for confident footing. It performs well in winter, though we still suggest care on pure glare ice.
Are these really barefoot boots?
Yes. Arctic is zero drop with a wide anatomical toe box and a flexible sole, so your toes can splay and your foot bends naturally. You get full waterproof, high top warmth without losing the barefoot feel.
What size should I order with thick socks?
They fit true to size for most people. If you wear thick winter socks, or you are between sizes or have wider feet, size up a half size for extra room. Women and men have separate sizing, chosen with the Women and Men buttons at the top of the page.
How do I care for the upper and fleece lining?
Wipe the quilted waterproof upper with a damp cloth and let the boots air dry away from direct heat to protect the sealed seams. Air out the moisture wicking fleece lining between wears and never machine dry them.
What is your return policy?
You have a 30 day money back guarantee. If they are not right for you, return them within 30 days for a full refund. We ship to the US and CA.
