- Seam-sealed waterproof membrane
- Fleece lining, cushioned footbed
- Adjustable lacing, mid-calf
Our take
The most weatherproof boot for walking. The lacing locks the heel.
Why it made the shortlist
The HOBIBEAR Mid-Calf is a women's waterproof snow boot with a seam-sealed membrane bootie construction, a faux fur collar and leather reinforced toe and heel. It adds a moisture-wicking fleece lining, a cushioned footbed and an adjustable lacing system on a pull-on mid-calf shaft.
It stands alone in the group with a seam-sealed membrane and adjustable lacing, which locks the fit better than the slip-ons from SHIBEVER and Ecetana. A traction-enhanced outsole is described for slippery surfaces.
It suits a woman who walks daily in real snow and slush and wants a lighter boot with a snug lace-up fit. The cushioned footbed helps with all-day wear.
What works
- Seam-sealed membrane keeps feet dry
- Leather-reinforced toe and heel
- Adjustable lacing for a snug fit
- Cushioned footbed for long walks
Watch out for
- Priciest of the five
- Lacing takes longer than a slip-on
- The catch
- It costs more than the slip-on ankle boots.
