Made by the Muck Boot Company, these are the best pair of insulated waterproof boots for Polar, Cold Water, & Cold Weather Exploration. They are endorsed by our team of experienced outdoorsmen and are deemed to be a necessity for your expedition.
The Arctic Sport Boot has these Special Performance Features:
- It's completely, 100% waterproof, all the way to the top of the boot (to ’the bottom of your knee’ - it measures 15 to 16 inches from the sole to the top of the boot depending on the size)
- It features a full CR flex-foam bootie - the longer you wear it, the more it shapes and molds to your foot
- A stretch to fit, topline binding that allows the boot's upper to comfortably form around your calf and 'tucked in' pants
- It has a premium fleece and breathable Airmesh lining
- A supportive and contoured footbed has a thermal foam underlay added to the instep area that provides additional warmth and maximum comfort for all-day use
- Crush resistant toes to protect you from that wayward humpback whale who may step on your toe (sorry for a bit of bad humour)
- Natural rubber overlays will not crack in extreme cold
- Boots are rated for a comfort range of -40 F to 60 F
- Arctic Sport Boots are available in ’whole sizes’ only - simply select your most recent athletic shoe size
- Customers with half-size feet should select the next whole size up
- Although Arctic Sport Boots are made to standard widths, the materials will stretch comfortably to fit widths up to a EEEE
- For narrow feet, we suggest wearing a thicker sock
- Orthotics and moulded sockliners can be used with Arctic Sport Boots
