Protecting your feet from extreme cold: shoes, boots, socks
Feet are among the first victims of the cold: far from the heart, barely moving, quick to get damp. Protecting them well means combining the right shoe or boot, a suitable thermal sock, and where needed an insulating insole or a foot warmer. Our range covers everything from everyday winter to polar cold — some models, like the Baffin workhorse, go down to −60 °C.
Cold weather boots and shoes
Cold weather boots offer maximum protection (height, waterproofing, removable liner); winter shoes favour versatility for town and work.
Socks and insoles
A good thermal sock (merino wool) wicks moisture and insulates, while insulating or heated insoles block the cold rising from the ground.
Foot warmers and crampons
For static posts, foot warmers add backup heat; on icy ground, crampons secure every step.
Frequently asked questions – Foot protection
How do I stop my feet getting cold despite good boots?
Check three things: moisture-wicking socks (no cotton), a boot that isn't too tight (air insulates), and an insulating insole against ground cold.
One pair of socks or two?
A single well-fitted technical pair beats two that compress the foot and cut circulation — compression chills.
How low do your models go?
Depending on the model, down to −60 °C for the most technical boots, designed for polar cold and prolonged outdoor posts.
