We noticed some stock issues with the Danner Arctic 600 Side Zip for men and women, our former pick for walking on ice. Although we still like this boot, we&#;ve decided to dismiss it in favor of concentrating our guide on more snow-specific boots, instead of hikers.
We were impressed with the ankle stability of The North Face Chilkat V 400, but we found them heavy, and they were too stiff to drive in comfortably.
The Baffin Escalate women&#;s boot has a similar construction as our women&#;s pick, the Baffin Cloud, but at a slightly lower price. It doesn&#;t have the same soft, extra-grippy rubber at the forefoot and heel, though.
We were initially impressed by the Kamik Lea Mid women&#;s boots, but as we wore them, we became frustrated by the stiff zipper, which often hurt our hands.
We were curious about the Fubuki Niseko 2.0 boots after seeing so many people wearing them after skiing. They were extremely comfortable when we put them on, but while we were walking, the outer shell dug into our ankles. The Niseko 3.0 replaced the 2.0 boots for the &#;25 season with no perceptible changes.
The L.L.Bean Snow Boots for men and women are rain boots masquerading as snow boots. The fit around the foot is loose, like on a rain boot, and the tread pattern doesn&#;t have any lugs.
The Columbia Heavenly Slip II boots have the same snow-friendly foot shape as an old, discontinued pick, the Columbia Heavenly Omni-Heat. Without the laces or tall shaft height, they can&#;t keep snow out of your boot and off your pants.
The Columbia Moritza Shield women&#;s boots were as comfortable and almost as warm as the Baffin Cloud, but we kept reaching for the latter because they were easier to put on and remove.
The Columbia Minx Mid III boots are similar to the Columbia Heavenly Omni-Heat, and since they were discontinued, we retested the Minx Mid III. Their construction felt too soft, and they were best suited for benign conditions in only mildly cold weather.

The number-one best seller for women&#;s snow boots on Amazon, the Columbia Ice Maiden II, is very one-size-fits-all, making it loose in the foot and calf, even with a robust tightening of the laces. The traction wasn&#;t good, and it&#;s more of a warm shoe that looks like a boot.
Same for the GlobalWin Waterproof Winter Snowboots. The shaft is not very tall, and the snow collar doesn&#;t do anything. And they had the worst traction of every boot we tested (imagine plastic on ice).
The lining of the LaCrosse Outpost II is so, so squishy. Sometimes gear writers say dumb things like, &#;This boot feels like walking on marshmallows!&#; But that&#;s definitely true in this case. And though we liked that about this boot, the fit was off. The ankle was very soft, and the boot itself is huge.
The Sorel Pac 2 boots for men have rain-boot treads and are slippery in snow. The same goes for the women&#;s Joan of Arctic and women&#;s Tofino II.
Sorel women&#;s Tivoli IV uses only 100 grams of insulation and are not warm enough for winter.
Reviewers love the Bearpaw Elle, and the pair we tested looks and feels just like an Ugg boot out of the box, at less than half the price. But first, it should be noted that Fakespot gave this particular listing a &#;D&#;, which effectively knocks the Elle rating down to 1.5 stars. Either way, we&#;re concerned about the lining, which the website states is a &#;shearling and wool blend,&#; but it feels more like a synthetic and may smell and become pilled after a season.
The Men&#;s Muck Boot Arctic Excursion Mid, also a former pick, didn&#;t have the same level of grip as our new pick, the Muck Boot Arctic Ice Mid.
We didn&#;t test a pair of Steger Mukluks because the price was even higher than that of the Uggs, and you have to waterproof them yourself. The Uggs come already coated and ready to wear.
We also tested boots from Baffin, Columbia, Kamik, and The North Face that have since been discontinued.
