What brand are those boots? Nice stuff

If you're looking for an affordable pair of warm winter Pac boots. These Baffins are totally awesome, and I got them on eBay new for $110 shipped. I got them from shoebuy but they took 8 days to ship them. I ordered them Dec 26th and I just got them today. I was kind of pissed it took them so long to ship because it was freaking freezing out. But I guess they were on vacation for the holiday.
They are rated to -94 F and are relatively lightweight for their bulk. The nice thing about them is the lining is removable and also is so thick and comfy it is like putting your foot into a pillow. The entire inside of the shoe and toe cap is full of fill making the boot extra comfortable. I had them on out in the snow and it was 14 F out today. They were almost too warm with tech wool silk socks…
These are my 2nd pair of Baffins. My first pair I got in Alberta when I was working in Fort McMurray and it was well below zero. Those were tech toed rubber ones and they lasted me 3 years of everyday wear. They were so comfortable compared to the regular rubber steel toes I usually wear, I wore them all year round even in the hottest months 12 hour shifts and they were super comfy, But my feet were always sweaty.
These boots are excellent for the money. I looked online for an after Xmas sale and eBay is the cheapest place I've seen, even when other stores have so called sales. I've had Sorels and a few other brands of pacs. But these are the best, I think.

Believe it or not they have warmer boot rated to -200 F. Yeah they are great. They are lined with some kimd of vaporized aluminum. They kind of feel like the Danner and Reebok US Marine boots in the tongue and lining. But a lot bulkier. I am most pleased with them.

Here's the space blanket type liner on the inside. And I am glad my 805 overalls have such roomy leg openings so the boots fit under them. I never thought I'd say I like wide leg openings so much.

If I was working I would have emailed Paula for your size and sent you a pair already. But I am so broke now, I can't afford to pay attention.

Those boots are great. My feet have been freezing the whole damned week.

They are really warm. I was out all day yesterday and it was 4 F. I was really warm in my Iron Heart hoodie, my North Face coat, overalls and boots. My buddy was looking at those boots on the company website and I paid $140 less than retail.

Your Aldens look great @Anesthetist ! Looks like its about time for a heel replacement. My 405's are about 6 years old and I replaced the heel 2 years ago, called Alden and they shipped me a pair for a nominal fee. My local cobbler laughed at me for mail ordering them because he had a box of identical heels in the back of his shop…
