I can no longer recommend these boots! The new Grip is nothing like the old Grip. It is heavier and bulkier while managing to also somehow be smaller inside. I bought the exact same size as my previous pair from 4 years ago, and these are far too small in the foot (length and width) and too tight in the calves to be comfortable. Will be returning them. Super disappointed! Come on Pajar!

This is my third winter with my Grips and I still love them to bits. They are incredibly lightweight, very comfortable, quite grippy and very warm. I don't drive, so I walk miles in these boots every day in the cold, northern Ontario winter and they are fantastic. I get tons of compliments on them, too. I found them to fit true to size, wearing mid-weight socks. They are warm enough--unless you are standing still for 20 minutes or more at 20 below--to not need a thick sock.. My calves aren't tiny, I often find boots too tight around the leg, but these have been fine. They are too narrow to tuck jeans in, though, so I'm stuck with tights and leggings all winter long. I love them so much I'm looking to buy a Pajar ankle boot so I can wear jeans once in a while!
