Customer Reviews Kodiak Cascade Arctic Grip

So here I was, in the middle of an icy, not particularly snowy, New England winter. Within two weeks I had taken two major diggers in my all-leather, Vibram soled “engineer boots.” As I was picking myself up off the driveway, I remembered, “oh, yeah, I did this last year, too!” Sigh. My engineer boots were perfect “mud boots”: no problem walking around in the spring Maine mud season in these hipster work boots but they were leather and slim-ish enough that I could get away with wearing them to work in Boston. In winter, however, they slipped like a banana was stalking me. My Pac snow boots, the Escalade of size, on the other hand, were inappropriate for mere ice. So I searched Zappos. I buy all my shoes on Zappos; all my kids get their shoes from Zappos (they get to see all the colors and pick), and my wife buys her sneakers on Z. We’re fans, okay? Anyway, to make a long story short, I felt like I’d never find a pair of non-huge leather boots that had soles for ice! Enter Kodiak. Holy cow, these boots are amazing!!! Vibram soles That Are Specifically Made For Ice. A leather upper that doesn’t scream “I am a snow boot!” A customer that won’t fall in the driveway! I normally wear a 9 1/2 in sneakers (let’s call them Schmadidas) and the 9 here was a perfect fit. Nicely insulated but not heavy. My orthotics had plenty of room. And plenty of arch support. (I can’t wear “duck boots” because of the lack of arch support, although those from let’s say El El Frijoles last forever). All-in-all, a well-turned boot. You go, Canada! Thank you, Neighbors to the North, for Ryan Reynolds, Celine Dion, and now...Kodiak. Seriously, people, this is a good boot.

Definitely the MOST COMFORTABLE winter boots!! I tried on Timberland boots and a few other brands in the store here, but none of them compares to these Kodiak boots! I am normally a 10.5-11 but got these in 10 and they fit great! They are waterproof and keep my feet warm from walking on the snow! Great for cities like NYC!

This is an awesome boot. It is true to size and width and extremely comfortable right out of the box. I liked it so much that I went back and bought a brown pair. They are warm and with a warm socks my feet are not cold. Nothing keeps my feet or hands warm but these boots do the trick. Very well made, lightweight yet sturdy. It says they are waterproof but I have not had a chance to try them out in snowy or wet weather. I would imagine they are waterproof because everything else about the boot is true. I would highly recommend this boot.

This is a very comfortable boot right out of the box. Fits perfectly too - true to size. I wore them today and my feet stayed warm. Very fine boot and I would highly recommend it. I also purchased the brown boots and will leave a review when I receive them.

These were meant to be worn for the winter, which was moderate this year. Put them on for about the 5th time and the metal grommet broke off. Learned my lesson DO NOT BUY THESE BOOTS
