I was very happy to find a barefoot winter boot at a good price. The amount of insulation from the ground is significantly greater when compared with my Ra IIs.

These boots were terrific in the late Fall with temperatures just above freezing. They are also good for my winter commutes.

However, both times I have spent more than an hour outside in them at about -10C, my feet have become cold. They also don't have very good traction in very icy conditions.

All in all a great purchase for most of my winter needs - but I will keep my non-barefoot boots for when I will be spending more time outdoors.

I love the barefoot feel. These boots look great with jeans. It's good to have some style with a boot that is good for your feet.
