Men's Apex Snow Boot

I really loved these things, but they were just overkill for me, in terms of being really bulky, so I returned them. I kept a pair of less expensive Baffin pac boots, in black synthetics for shoveling and playing with the kids in the snow, and got a slimmed down pair of Uggs for around town and work. I really wanted to keep these though, they are super high quality, and fit perfectly. Really -- I mean really, really -- warm. All the Baffin pac boot style boots are bulky, but really light and comfy, and very, very warm - I tried a few pair. I love 'em, but kept the less expensive pair, as I realized I won't be wearing these around town all winter.

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.

I got these just in time to wear in -10 degree temperatures with a -20 wind chill and was able to sit for three hours without my feet getting cool let alone cold. I have owned several extreme cold weather boots(Rocky, Sorel, and Cabela's) and these are easily the warmest I have worn. I wear a size 11 to 11 1/2 shoe and bought a 13. Glad I did. The boot fits perfect with a extra-heavy(Smartwool or Filson ) wool sock. Not tight, enough room move my toes inside the boot freely, but not enough room to feel sloppy while walking. I was looking for a pair of boots to crow hunt or still/stand hunting in freezing or sub zero temperatures where I am doing little to no moving and am quite happy with this purchase. I had to put sno-seal on the leather of the boot as the literature that came with the boot stated "water resistant leather". The rubber bottoms of the boots are, of course, waterproof. Not a deal breaker for me but if you need or have to have a boot with a waterproof liner like Gore-Tex this is not it. It's also not a boot if you plan on walking a lot. It's fairly light and I was amazed at how easy it was to walk around for a pac boot but it would be too warm to walk around all day/long distances without sweating. But lets face it if your looking for a pac boot your looking at it for warmth not mobility.

These snow boots are the best feet never get cold

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..

Very warm boots. For the price they should include gaiters. They run 1-2 sizes small. I wear a 9 & the 10 fits well. They are difficult to wear while driving besause of how wide they are. Exceptional quality snow boots!

From Alaska, Love these boots. Definitely cold weather boots. Too warm if it is above 15 degrees. Very well constructed, for a boot this size they have a surprisingly small outside dimension. Definitely not a bunny boot. Great ankle support, and the sole design works well on ice and snow. They are attractive, double stitched on uppers and triple stitched on the lowers. The entire upper is leather. The roller eyelets make lacing easy and reduces wear on the laces. Easy to put on and wear comfortably all day.

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

These boots are very warm so far. The coldest i have used them in is -15°C. They are sized a bit small. I wear a size 10 so i ordered the 11 for extra space for thick socks. I can't get big socks in them however the insulation is thick and i have been very warm in just 1 pair of sport socks. Very jappy with my purchase, i haven't had cold feet yet.

These are some serious boots! I bought them for myself, I wear a size 7 ladies and these size 7 mens fit just perfect with normal socks, I doubt I’ll be able to wear think wool socks with them, but for the rating I don’t believe I’ll need the thick wool socks anyhow. They are quite comfortable even though they are kinda clunky, but that’s expected with the layers of warmth. I’m not complaining, especially won’t be complaining of cold feet this winter out getting fire wood!

Es ist ein hervorragender Stiefel, für diejenigen, die sehr lange in der Kälte stehen oder sitzen. Ich hatte diesen Schuh bereits vor 20 Jahren schon einmal gekauft und ihn bis jetzt genutzt. Lange Strecken gehn oder Autofahren ist damit nicht möglich! Die Größen weichen leider sehr stark ab, was bedeutet, dass man mindestens 1,5 oder eher sogar 2 Größen größer kaufen sollte. Mit der weichen Gummisohle sollte man möglichst nicht auf Asphalt gehen, da sie dabei stark abgenutzt wird! Dieser Schuh ist wirklich zur Verwendung im Schnee, ist da jedoch das Beste, was ich in über 40 Jahren Jagd und Naturfotografie finden konnte. Bin damit auch bei - 15° C 6 bis 8 Stunden auf Ansitz gewesen.

it is amazing comfy boots, like having pillow on your foot that keeps you warm from harsh cold climate, but few things about this product: 1. the photo needs to be updated to newer model that doesn't have stitchings on the leather tongue, instead it is stamped . 2. like everybody mentioned, buy a size up as the liner inside the shoes will squeeze ur legs causing poor circulation. 3. when you receive the product check the stitching/glue worksmanship on the midfoot where leather upper and rubber base connect, mine was not properly glued to my satisfaction and felt like water would seep inside from it so i used some krazy glue to reinforce it and it is all good.

Amazing product. Beautifully constructed. I'm sure I'll have years of comfortable warmth from these boots. They are a huge clunky warm boot not for walking in town they're for deep snow treks ice fishing shoveling the driveway etc.
