Best Snow Boot Ever
I spent the winter in Alaska. it was the Coldest in the last 25 Years with the most snow in 30! I bought these boots and never regretted it.-Very Warm i wore these in -46 Degrees and was fine. i worked outside for 4 hours at a time and was fine most days.-Very Comfortable. it was like slipping your foot into a boot full of pillows no other boot can compare in comfort.-Construction is very durable tough leather lots of thick stitches these will last for a long time.-Great Grip i used these for working as well as hiking in 4 feet of snow. the traction pattern is great for this kind of weather and i rarely slipped when everyone around me was.-Very High boot that keeps out snow and water. this boot comes up the the mid-high shin a few insches bellow the knee.-waterproof. my feet never got wet. and i never had to use toe warmers.- i was able to use these boots as snowboard boots the fit right in my bindings. they are not as stiff but make great back country ski or snow board boots depending on your binding setup. (Rocker Snow Board Bindings for Skis)Overall this is easily a 5 star boot and the only reason i survived my winter in Alaska i would buy these again and i highly recommend to anyone who does cold weather activity. many people buy what are called "bunny boots" or "Mickey mouse boots" but these boots provide much better durability and traction as well as being much better for hiking.

Excellent product,but buy larger.....
I use the Baffin Apex treestand hunting in NW MT for elk and the upper Midwest for deer. Treestand hunting requires you to be virtually motionless and the wind also attacks the bottom of your feet. I use them whenever the temperature is below 20F and I know I will be motionless. Due to the 8-layer insulation the cold and wind has not penetrated the top or bottom of the boot and kept my feet warm to -10F over a 4 hour period of sitting. I am very warm blooded and do spend a great deal of time outdoors all year round. To not sweat your feet on your way out, walk very slowly or your feet will be cold in any boot. Sweating reduces footwear insulation 19-25% (30-37% in toes).Sizing: I am a size 8-1/2 dress shoe, 9 running shoe, and a size 9 Baffin Apex is tight with only a liner. Due to my very cold use requirements I went to a a size 11 to accommodate for the polypropylene liner, heavy wool sock and Bama Sockett I use to keep my feet warm for those long motionless sits. For deep snow use I also purchased the Baffin Endurance with a draw cord top cuff or you can buy extra large gaiters.FYI: I am still working on it, but from extensive reading about boot temperature measuring, it seems to only be a general reference about a 30 minute static machine test to measure a 10C drop in temp. To me cold ratings mean: -50F = cold use boot, -100F = very cold use boot, -150% = severe cold boot and don't expect to be standing in these prolonged temps with warm feet. These ratings also don't seem to take into account moisture and that every person is different in how their body regulates temperature. Best MT Elk Hunter

AWESOME, WARM, But...
I love these boots, they aren’t too warm on my feet, but I’ve worn them in -40F and didn’t get even a little cold. I only have two comments,1. They can be snug, but that’s what they’re supposed to do to keep your feet warm2. They aren’t the best on ice. I’ve slipped a couple of times, but since they never stated they were anti slip I can’t knock them points, just something to consider though.Otherwise these boots are crazy comfortable and warm for long periods of time, and the quality is unrivaled!

Great boot!!!
Great overall boot, you should at least buy once size if not two sized up because these boots have a lot of liner, the boots is extra warm , I had no issues with my feet getting cold or sweating at all, they grip great on slick ice and are very well built. They are a little bulky, extra girth around the neck and the boot is very wide. The only reason I gave it a lower rating is the internet pictures showing the different liners is deceptive, the retailers selling the boot add extra for the taller liner, but due to the boot changing design in the past few years, Baffin or your retailer doesn't guarantee which liner you will get.. this was the only disappointment..

HUGE like old school plastic ski boots.
I have never seen a larger shoe box in my life! They are very hard to walk in and I can't imagine walking in them for any length of time without my shin muscles feeling it. If your ice fishing in the arctic then go for it but I hope you don't have to walk very far. They are akin to walking in hard plastic ski boots. I took them out of the box and put them on and put them right back in the box to return right away... I need a pair of warm boots to hike in and these will not due for that purpose. Also they are so big around that my cargo pants will not go over them so I would have to tuck my pant legs in...did I mention they are HUGE....
