The snow and ice took longer to find us this winter in Missouri. When the cold weather finally kicked in, my family and I were ready to get outside and enjoy it. This winter I tried out the Icebug Adak ReWool Women’s BUGrip boots, and was pleasantly surprised how warm and confident they made me in the chilly and slick conditions. I have taken these boots on many walks and hikes on our hilly place out in the country, and am pleased with how they perform.
I selected a pair of the Icebug Adak women’s boots in the color combination coffee/grey for my winter adventures. I love the mixture of materials with the Nubuck leather and recycled (more on that in a bit) Merino wool uppers. The boots are wide, allowing room for thick socks underneath. The soles include carbide steel studs, to help grip the ice and snow while walking and hiking.
These winter boots are meant to keep your feet warm and comfortable in extra cold conditions, from 41°F all the way down to -4°F. Here are a few other details from the Icebug website:
Rain or shine, we try and get outside with our kids every day. These boots allow me to feel confident carrying our youngest on my back in our Osprey Poco Plus, while walking our dogs and traversing across ground covered in a layer of ice and snow.
In the Icebugs, my feet stay warm on the coldest of walks and hikes. I notice great ankle support with the laces, and the boots are lightweight with good arch support. The only discomfort I’ve experienced is when walking in deep snow drifts, and snow gets packed into the tops of my boots. But, I believe that is unavoidable.
The Icebug Adak ReWool Women’s BUGrip boots are going to be a staple in my winter wardrobe for many years to come. They are comfortable and warm, provide great ankle support and slip resistance on packed and slick surfaces. These boots are worth every penny, and made with quality and attractive materials that are sure to last. [MSRP $279.95]
