My grandmother slip and fell years back and broke her wrist. I’m sorry for your loss On a positive note I just recently found your channel and I absolutely love it- iv been binge watching the past day and a half! Great stuff man
Great video! I’m sure this will be very helpful for folks in colder climates. Thank you for sharing your loss with us. Providing this guide is such a beautiful way to honor your grandmother. Stay safe out there!
Ice Queen…lol. Dude, thanks for doing to leg work on compiling this great information and not slipping up to much delivering. (Pun intended). I returned to Wisconsin after my years in service. My only boots I had were my desert combat boots. Taking a stroll in the middle of winter my boots turned to blocks of ice and I ate some serious snow, only seeing my shoe laces and the sky. Luckily I was young and bounced off the ground like Gumby. But since then I realized how important the rubber compound is when buying boots. Now I have science to find out what will work best.
Truly thank you! I’ve been looking and looking and looking for winter boots as I live in Maine and I stumbled across this and am very thankful I did! Because none of the videos or searches I’ve done doesn’t say anything about kite or iceFX ! I learned a lot thank you! I live on the coast so we have lots of cold temperatures and snow and ice! Appreciate you and this video!
The Dakota winter boots are amazingly warm! I have found that it has to be quite cold before wearing them. My feet have never been cold in them, and I've been outside in -20 Celsius and colder.
Love your videos just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed immediately. I do construction and firefighting on the side and I am a gear junkie I have thousands in tools and tons of carhartt stuff but you’re gonna help me save money by buying the right stuff. Definitely one of my new favorite channels
I have some merrel casual boots with ice fx soles and there is a night and day difference in traction on ice and snow vs normal boots. Ive had them for a few years and they are still going strong
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I shelled out for a pair of nicks with the $100 polarthin insulation option as a dedicated winter boot and they are a complete and total let down as a winter boot. Looks like i will be getting a pair of hellyhansons for next year instead of a resole....
How does typical PNW vibram soles do on ice? If I have a V100 builder pro, is that not good enough for ice? I felt pretty safe in winter in them shoveling going back and forth.
My dad has the Dakota 8901 there amazing! That company is amazing! I had an opportunity to visit there when I was in Toronto for a Winnipeg jets Toronto maple leaf game. Another great video!
I think IceFX are only on Canadian Tire company (and subsidiary) stores like Canadian Tire, Mark's, Helly Hansen, etc. Easy to find in Canada, but I imagine arctic grip are easier to find abroad.
In Maine we generally favor augmenting boots with some sort of spike. Bean boots take particularly well to them, incidentally. Easy to put on and take off. They now make them with BOA systems, which would make them much easier to put on and take off. The stretch-on ones can be a bear.
Could you do a video on the best slip resistant work boots for warehouse/ factory settings that do not involve ice/cold? Slippy due to dust, grease, painted floors, etc...
That’s be hard to test, people’s gait varies so much, foot angle per downward step, etc etc etc. watching where u put your feet each step and being prepared is better than anything, if not soft soles and walking more flat footed wins in most factory settings, polished concrete, paint markings and what not
Thank you! I've spent a lot of time getting it tuned in. I'm using a Canon C500 mk2 with a Sigma ART 50mm lens and a 1/8 Black Promist filter. I did a very short gear tour in my video about the best products of 2023 if you want to see it all set up.
Been trying to get Rose Anvil to do a winter boot series, and review the ICE FX boots. Hopefully they do so now. Nice guide, thanks for doing this Carl.
Could you do a video on the warmest boots for winter. I know this video kinda touches on it but I’ve been looking for a boot, that I can wear comfortably, in single digits. Thanks
What the stylish are wearing in the Yukon an NW Territories. No but seriously, these look like really great boots. I like the anti hardening compound and the crystal infused boots.
The Dakota 8901 winter works boots are effectively not available I’m the US unless you want to buy a beat up pair on eBay. The company who manufactures and sells them does not ship to the USA
Those boots have p,eBay of real world reviews online, the tread isn’t a full compound tread unfortunately, like a cheap set of snow tires without a really good silica compound or full depth siping
So your telling me the best boots are Windriver, Dakota and Helly Hansen...it just so happens they are all owned by Canadian Tire, weird how that works.

I’m so glad! Welcome!
I do hvac on rooftops in Maine, it's been treacherous this year. I'll have to check these work boots out.

Very cool! I've gotta get to Canada soon.
It would be awesome to meet your If your in the Winnipeg Manitoba area!
That’s some nice testing!!

I live in Maine also and know exactly what you’re talking about! Especially ice fishing! lol

@@Grandpuba1069 that's about what Vibram says, as well.
Not merrell moans that's fir sure
Your video quality is on a new level. What camera and effect are you using when recording..

Cool video 👍

Thanks for the video! looks like icefx tech is the winner for icey conditions, dunno if they are available in europe
Apesar de viver num pais quente...adoro seus videos.
Dakota and Wind River are Canadian brands from Mark's a Canadian company
Could you do a video on the warmest boots for winter. I know this video kinda touches on it but I’ve been looking for a boot, that I can wear comfortably, in single digits. Thanks
What testing did you do for each boot to get your conclusions?
Just buy those ice grippers to wrap around your boots. They sell them in outdoor shops.

In finland most people wear sneakers. The elderly wear spikes cuz like they'll die. But Ice is too common here to sacrifice drip
Those boots have p,eBay of real world reviews online, the tread isn’t a full compound tread unfortunately, like a cheap set of snow tires without a really good silica compound or full depth siping
being drunk in my RW mini slug soles in a Japanese winter was.... a bad idea
Icebug are the l
Best by far steel studded
I’ll stick with my studded Icebugs
Surprised nothing with a Vibram Arctic Grip sole made the list. Seem to work great for me on ice.
First!
So your telling me the best boots are Windriver, Dakota and Helly Hansen...it just so happens they are all owned by Canadian Tire, weird how that works.
jesus christ man the grandma bit?
Would you like me to send you her obituary? Death certificate?
