There is nothing worse than camping, hunting, or working outside in the rain when your feet are cold and soaking wet.

Arctic Shield Men's Outdoor Boots Review

Snow, mud, rain, and other sloppy conditions will not be able to stop these 100% waterproof boots by Arctic Shield. These men’s outdoor boots are made using top-quality, all-natural rubber and 7mm waterproof neoprene that allow these boots to snugly fit your leg.

The rubber overlays keep water and moisture out of the boot, keeping your feet dry and warm. These lightweight boots also retain insulation, so you don’t have to worry when you move from one location to another – your feet will remain warm.

Who is this product for?

These boots are ideal for men who enjoy hunting, fishing, and camping, as well as those who find themselves regularly shoveling snow, working on constructions sites, or work in wet conditions all year.

What’s included?

The box includes one pair of lightweight, durable rubber boots with 7mm neoprene for flexibility and comfort.

Overview of features

The Good

Arctic Shield’s heat-resistant and lightweight Retain Insulation feature captures and retains around 90% of your body’s heat, preventing your radiated body warmth from escaping from the boot, and stopping the cold or wet external conditions from getting into the boot.

In addition to this, the water-resistant, windproof insulation also keeps you comfortable no matter whether you are shoveling snow from your driveway, trekking in cold conditions, or fishing on your next getaway. The insulation doesn’t slow the heat lost while wearing the boots like many other boots – it retains the heat inside the boot.

The waterproof rubber overlays and the neoprene uppers offer extra protection for the front of your feet, the arches, and your heels, ensuring that you are both comfortable and protected from sloppy, wet conditions.

The removable insoles gently cushion the arch and heel of your foot with every step. The durable rubber outsoles also provide sturdy ground-gripping, non-slip, solid traction which allows you to walk across most terrains, no matter how slippery.

The pull tabs on the back of the boot make them easy to pull on, even when you are wearing thermal socks or multiple layers of socks. These boots are made on the larger size to allow for thicker socks, so ensure you check the size chart for these. If you are unsure about the size, it is best to order a size down from your normal shoe size.

The Bad

If your feet are really cold, some users reported that it took a while for their feet to warm up. Some also mentioned that care must be taken on slippery surfaces such as ice and snow as the traction is not as hard as they would have liked. Some men also said that they would have preferred if the boot had been a little bit higher on their leg for more protection.

Get the Most from Them

These boots are hard-wearing, allowing you to use them daily. These boots don’t only have to be used for working in sloppy, wet conditions. They are also suitable to use when camping or when doing general outside work in the garden.

Alternatives

Better Heat Retaining Properties: MuckBoots Men's Hunting Boot

The MuckBoots Hunting Boot offers 2mm of thermal foam underlay, ensuring that your body heat is retained in the boot, no matter how cold the external temperature may be.

Better Non-Slip Properties: WTW Men's Boots

While these boots are very similar to the Arctic Shield boots in materials and also offer the easy-on pull tabs, these offer a slightly better traction on icy and snowy surfaces. If you plan to use your boots in these conditions, the WTW boots may be a better option for you.

Better Height on Leg: Alisa Men's Boots

These Alisa Boots offer more in the way of height. While these boots also offer great non-slip properties, they are a great alternative to the Arctic Shield if you are looking for a boot that is higher up on your leg, offering you more protection.

These are especially useful for hunting in forested areas as they prevent scratches and snags, and they are a camouflage color.

Conclusion

When you are looking for a boot that will keep your feet warm, dry, and comfortable while you are out and about, the Arctic Shield may be just the boots you are looking for.

Available in two colors, you can find the pair that suits your style and your interests. Whether you love hunting, fishing, camping, or gardening, these boots will come along for the ride.
