Opinions

For instance, they’ve an eponymous Women’s boots with the LIGHT title that I’m probably going to purchase a pair subsequent 12 months… gendered shoe roles be damned.
At 11 ounces per shoe, and rated from -22*F to 50*F, there’s one thing about them I like. Would like to pack them right into a bag and use them in rougher areas, having a pair of path footwear when again on terrain with much less snow.
There’s additionally the Borealis that appears like your typical mountain climbing boot, besides it makes me giggle due to the entire Half Life 2 references I could make. Didn’t get to the touch this one in individual, however thought it was cool:
