The Nation Plus is the men's Canadian boot from Kamik, the Montréal maker founded in 1898. A suede upper with sealed seams and 600D nylon reinforcements, a synthetic rubber base and outsole: the construction that keeps slush and road salt away from the foot.
What sets it apart is its removable HEAT-MX™ 145 g liner, fleece-lined. It pulls out in one movement to dry overnight, goes back in the morning and can be replaced when it wears before the boot does — moisture building up inside a boot is the first cause of a cold foot; this liner deals with it at the source. A 28 cm shaft covers the ankle and the lower calf against snow coming in from the top.
Hook lacing, a firm grip. Available in EU sizes 41 to 46.
The evening habit, in the site hut or guesthouse: pull the liner out, set it by the radiator, leave the boot at the door. What separates the boot that lasts five winters from the one binned in its second. Eight hours outdoors at −25 °C / −13 °F, the Nation Plus holds — if it starts the day dry. Underneath, Heat Holders ORIGINAL socks and the size that leaves the foot free.
The removable HEAT-MX™ liner does the insulating: it holds the air warmed by the foot, its fleece lining moves moisture away; because it comes out, it dries right through every night — a damp liner insulates less than a dry one. The comfort rating applies on the move with a suitable sock; standing still for long periods, on ice or in a hide, a thick wool sock takes over, provided the size leaves the foot free: a compressed foot gets cold.
A two-part boot: the outer boot in sealed suede and rubber takes the slush and salt, the insulating liner comes out to dry and is replaced when worn. It is the construction of Canadian work boots, the one that lasts several winters because the part that wears first is not the part you throw away.
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 ORIGINAL long socks complete the system. A lined boot lasts as long as you take the time to dry it: the evening habit makes the difference in the morning.
