N-1B Air Force Snow/Extreme Cold Weather Mukluks Boots, Made in USA

I fell in love with these years ago while stationed in Alaska. We did alot of hunting out in the brush and the high canvas helped keep your pants free of snow. It is another layer to help keep your legs warm as well. This boot did come with a pair of felt pads for the inside bottom of the boot. What you will need to still acquire is the "bootie" that you actually put your foot in. I simply took a pair out of some heavy Sorrel boots that aren't comfortable to wear. I wear either a ten and a half or 11 size shoe. I bought the size large of these boots and they fit perfect. If your feet don't stay warm in these, it's your "bootie" that is failing you. A quality one is worth the cost and these boots will serve you well. I have worn these all day with thin socks, in and out of equipment all day and my feet were toasty in temps 0 to +20. From experience I know they will keep your feet warm in much colder temps by wearing quality socks and ensuring they're dry inside. If you start sweating, you need to take out the booties and both felt pads in each mukluk and let them air dry. If the inside of this boot is wet, your feet will get cold. Without sweating much, I will leave them standing up and fold the high canvas tops down to the booties so air gets in over night. If you have weak ankles and need a tight laced boot because of it, these are not for you. They are very light weight and feel like you have on a pair of tennis shoes.

The boots are good quality but it requires the Air Force insert and that is not available.

i have yet to try these out for an extended time with little activity in cold temps but will update, but i think these are the cheapest way you're going to get into a more inuit style of mukluk (which is a concept that works well in extreme cold). the idea getting these is that i'll always have a capable ultra cold weather footwear that is lightweight and can be taken with me or packed. these are clearly not for wet or moderately cold temps... they are durable non water proof canvas shells with a thick sole attached so understand that when you buy them. i went to fleet farm and got some lacrosse all wool boot liners. then i'm going to sew some wool material i have onto the top of the liners to make them taller and to cover the v gap in the front of the liners. they are super light for what they are and what they will most likely be good at doing what they're meant for (hiking a mile or two through snow and brush and then hours of still hunting in below zero weather). i ordered size large which is supposed to be for 11-12 mens size... my feet are 10.5 which is fine this way i have room for a big sock or two inside the size 12 all wool liners i bought. my feet don't slide around all that much with thin socks on maybe i have a cm or two of extra space. so after all is said and done i'll be into some excellent lightweight extreme duty winter footwear for less than $75 . I don't think you have to do the extra stuff that i mentioned to make them warm just get the wool boot liners and put some tall socks on... i'm just a customizer.

Great for the winter time here in Ohio

Great product for cold temperatures and snow. Very comfortable. Canvas material is not quite as good as I had when in the service. But still a very nice product.

picture shows winter liner. they do not come with liners.

Ammended: I like these mukluks. They are lightweight and warm... I live in alaska and am outdoors hauling firewood, logs, trapping and hunting throughout the winter months. Your feet do not sweat as badly, like in vapor barrier military boots. They accept most pac liners, and they also dry out a lot quicker than the military boots do...They are not perfect but an awful lot of bang for the buck. About all they need is a bit more waterproofing, which any good canvas waterproofing compound can accomplish.I'm ammending this review to add that both pair of mukluks I purchased suffered zipper failures within 5 months of use. I will attempt a repair but the stitching removal makes this unlikely.I'm pretty bummed because I really like them.. but two identical failures in such a short length of time is no acceptable...

In my experience, the best snow boots ever made. I've owned a pair which lasted over 30 years, and only failed due to dry rot. These genuine U.S. replacements were a fantastic deal.
