I am looking for a good pair of winter shoes within reasonable price. Has anyone tried 2Moons brand shoes for daily use? Are they good enough? Is this type of sole good for snow and rain and ice? I live in West coast side, so I have it all- snow, rain and ice.
How about Dockers, Jana and Rieker brands?

  1. Sievi all the way. They cost, but they’re the best boots you can get. They’ll last years upon years, they’re very much good bang for buck.

  2. I don’t have anything bad about Pomar ones, good grip from their soles, warm and keeps dry. Current ones are running fine their 3rd yeard. My wife has couple different, but no issues. They have bf sale now too. They are genuine shoes, made to last.

    Not like some expensive brands that essentially come from china. Also looks good as streetwear.

    Edit: Finnish company, but shoes are made at Estonia.

  3. 1. Avoid synthetic leather, use the genuine one or other good materials.

    2. Avoid synthetic insulation, use woolen socks if needed.

  4. Sievi and Jalas military boots are durable and comfortable. Other than many shoes of same price, they are worth the price

  5. I always pick Icebug non dubbed (because I don’t need dubs). They are very durable and warm, very comfortable for the foot.

  6. These shoes will not be warm in the january when it gets really cold and they will likely crack and let in water.

  8. The material looks cheapish, and the sole looks pretty slippery, should have way more markings, so you would need separate spikes.

    I would pay a bit lore for more quality shoes. Pomar is great but expensive, but they have great offera at the moment. Halti is also good, and often has some options for under 100€, especially in their outlet stores

  9. I like palladium boots. They last a good amount of years, look good and are not overly expensive as they are on sale every season. The winter versions are warm and waterproof and the sole has good pattern for traction. The sole also allows good foot movement which I stongly prefer over overly stiff soles.

    They are not BIFL quality, but I like to change the style every few years anyway. Current ones are going on their 4th year I think and are still in excellent condition.

  10. If you’re on a budget, Kuoma is a great brand. The outside sole of the shoes has a 2 year guarantee. The rest of the shoes has 1.
    Pretty lightweight shoes good for most non-Summer weather.

  11. Avoid yourself a world of disappointment.

    Invest in some real leather boots. Look after them by cleaning them and polishing them. You’ll pay more upfront but you won’t be buying another pair of boots for years.

  13. If you live anywhere in Helsinki/Espoo area you don’t need those old school boots just go with low gorotex shoes they can be used all year around and are much more versatile and comfortable.
    For example I use Brooks Ghost (gorotex) and they last around 1 and a half to two years.

  14. when it gets slippery, nothing but studs actually work

  15. Good winter shoes are:

    Made good quality materials (In your picture sticker says outer material is synthetic)

    Soles are not made of plastic but rubber. (you can smell sole and you know is it plastic or rubber.

    size is bigger than you usually have. You need space to keep your feet warm and use thicker socks.

    I do not recommend these shoes. but if these are something you like just go for it but take bigger size and buy good quality wool socks and nice insoles. Avoid using on ice

  16. They might be ok but the zipper looks a bit low. Often times the liquid slush is deeper than that.

  17. Everyone knows Polyver is the only real choice. :))

  20. Buy whatever Boots and go to Prisma and buy some shoe spike for 20 euros and you good. Just don’t forget to put them on when you go out. Soles don’t matter. If you don’t have spikes on the shoes you gonna fall. This is Finland.

  21. If you’re living in Finland and you experience winter once a year I would highly recommend to pay more for quality winter boots you can use for 5+ winters. Buy these cheap plastic “kusiluikkarit” and you’ll be wanting new shoes next winter. Buy proper boots and not only will they last you many winters but your feet will thank you when they are dry and warm.
