Felt lined boots?

[Mendonsy]

So after hemming/hawing for over a week, I was at Tractor Supply earlier today and noticed they had these Itasca lined boots. Not the best quality-wise but for $60 I figured at least my feet would be warm for about 2 hrs. of plowing I had to do later that afternoon.

Big mistake. They were so bad I almost think this particular pair might have been defective. I could actually feel the cold air coming right through the boots! I did see that the liners seemed much thinner than what I had remembered but thought perhaps-- newer technology than those old? Hardly. More like, cheaper technology.

Yeah, I know... should have listened to those here suggesting a higher quality product but my spinster side thought maybe I could get away with it. Live and learn.

Hmmmm ...... I bought the same ones from TSC and used them yesterday to plow snow. I thought the warmth was OK, but I wouldn't want to walk around all day in them.

I know what you mean about overall walking comfort. Very "sloppy" feel. That's a given with this type of boot but this particular pair were much worse than the last ones I had previously.

I'd return them right away. My Kamiks were less than $60 and are warm and comfy.
