I have bought several pairs of Inuvik boots over the years and been very pleased with them. They stand up well to everything nature can throw in their way and I have worn them in the snows of Iceland, the fjords of Norway, the Amazon rain forest, the jungles of Borneo, the plains of Africa and the mountains of Tibet. I find them comfortable, long lasting, well made, reliably waterproof, warm in the winter without being hot in summer, easy to clean and very economical. They last around 3 years and when no longer at their best as hiking boots I get another 2 - 3 years wear around the garden. I can thoroughly recommend them.
