Key Features

  • 13" tall leather uppers made from 6 ounce chrome tanned top grain leather feature triple stitch with nylon thread in a lock stitch that’s guaranteed not to fail. With care and maintenance the top grain leather will develop a patina of deep brown coloration featuring the scars of all your tough jobs and winter adventures until you consider them an old friend.
  • We don't cut corners on quality. The Grizzly features our Snug-fit Lacing design, with reinforced metal stud hooks and Power D-Ring Lace anchors. The lacing system helps provide a boot that is contoured to the unique shape of your leg and provides the ultimate in ankle support.
  • Removable 6 mm thick three part liner quilted from a wicking durable synthetic, 400 gram Thinsulate Ultra Insulation, and finally 3 mm of wool felt to insulate even when damp. In the event that they become saturated with water, the liners can be easily removed, and either dried or replaced with a fresh new set.
  • Vulcanized rubber midsoles feature a solid steel shank that offers a solid foundation, supporting you on even the most uneven surfaces. The vulcanization process fuses together over 30 pieces of rubber along with reinforcements to create a one piece waterproof bottom with exceptional durability and comfort. The rubber bottom is further reinforced by the embedded steel shank, which creates a reliable, supportive platform under your foot.
  • The custom Kenetrek K-Talon Outsole design has a deep and open tread design for serious grip and traction with rigid support to keep you on your feet while traversing the most difficult terrain.
  • 1000g Thinsulate insulation
  • -40F temperature rating
  • 10" height protects from snow
