The Iceland F is the women's leather winter boot from Kamik, the Canadian maker based in Montréal since 1898. Its coated leather upper with sealed seams and synthetic rubber base stop slush and road salt before they reach the foot, with the look of a town ankle boot rather than a snow boot.
Inside, the HEAT-MX™ 145 g insulation is fixed, lined with moisture-wicking faux fur, with a faux-fur collar and a gusseted tongue closing the top. A 21.5 cm shaft covers the ankle without climbing the calf; the pair stays light enough to wear all day.
Classic lacing. Available in EU sizes 37 to 42.
One pair for ten days in Lapland, from the village to the hotel restaurant? That is the brief for the Iceland F: leather that goes anywhere, a low shaft, insulation cut for a northern winter. What it does not do, it does not claim — six hours on a sled or in a hide call for a boot with a liner. Underneath, thin Heat Holders merino socks.
The HEAT-MX™ insulation holds the air warmed by the foot; the faux-fur lining wicks perspiration away, which stops the foot cooling through damp when you go from outside into the warm. The comfort rating applies on the move, walking in town with a thin to medium sock. The low shaft covers the ankle, not the calf: in deep snow or standing still for long periods, choose a high boot with a removable liner — the Iceland F is a town boot, not a boot for a hide.
An ankle boot that combines three things rarely found together: a leather upper you can wear in town, a sealed construction that holds off slush and insulation sized for a northern winter. The weight stays that of an ankle boot, not a snow boot: that is what makes it bearable through a whole day at the office.
Why the feet lose heat first:
Feet that stay cold often point to heat lost elsewhere — cover the head first. Under the boot, the Heat Holders women's merino wool socks complete the system. In town, the enemy of a leather boot is not the cold, it is the salt: wiped off in the evening, it leaves no mark.
