It seems contrary to logic, but less is more for winter footwear, especially in those places that are blessed with real winter..... the kind without puddles. 

We're lucky to live pretty far North. But that means we've had to do some homework to keep our toes happy. In our neighborhood, staying warm depends on staying dry. Our True North Boots are a hybrid of different footwear styles from Native American Mukluks to Roman Legionnaire's sandals. They have lightweight and breathable shells of Cotton Canvas and Bison Leather on top of a 3/8" thick Recycled Tire Rubber sole. We integrate speed lacing with cord locks for a quick and secure fit, then add removable felt liners to retain precious body heat. These feathery boots move and flex with your feet, as they release perspiration to ensure your comfort. At days end, open them wide and remove the inner components so they'll be dry the next morning.
