My all time favorites from my northern Minnesota days were Sorel Caribous. Felt liners that can be removed easily, warm as heck, high/tall enough to keep snow from getting down inside from over the top, soles never slipped on anything. (Note the soles I had are different from what is now pictured on the website.)

I believe it is a Canadian company. Website indicates there is a distributor in Vaasa.
What kind of winter boots do you have?

I have to have pretty shoes even in the winter!
My feet are never cold, and it's been a few years since the last time I fell down.
I wear these shoes,
These in brown by Bronx, an american brand, I think. Had to have additional layer added to the soles to prevent accidents. http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/7950057/c/4709.html
This type, but they are calf boots, by Vagabond, swedish brand. http://www.vagabond.com/Flash/default_content.htm
And this type, only with that wedge thing, for everyday usage by Tamaris, german brand.

at the moment i'm facing the same problem...maxxfi wrote:How do you recognize non-slippery soles while you are still in the shop?
I vaguely remember a suggestion I once read on Hesari to test the shoe/boot by sliding it on the back on your hand but... any better way?
can anybody please explain which kind of sole is good for slippery winter..
thanks in advance....

Re: What kind of winter boots do you have?
Will combat or safety boots such as Haix' be sufficient? I started to notice low-height shoes feel very cold for prolonged walking, and the normal leather boots feel very puny against harsh weather
