Damn tough and very warm tall waterproof winter rubber boots for demanding Arctic conditions. Removable felt lining is easy to dry.

A great benefit of a detachable felt lining is that you can easily dry the lining even by the campfire without needing to worry about turning your rubber boots into a melted blob. You can also buy spare felt linings as an accessory, so you can keep your toes warm when drying your sweaty linings in the wilderness.

Nokian Naali is made from very durable butyl rubber. The coarse outsole tread pattern offers a good grip and can be equipped with studs to improve the grip on slippery ice. The thick detachable felt lining keeps your feet warm in freezing temperatures, and the reinforced structure of the outsole provides extra insulation against cold. The manufacturer states that these work down to -40 °C (40 °F), but these ratings are always subjective, and they depend on how well your toes can take cold. Nevertheless, these have been proven functional in military use even in the toughest winter conditions in Lapland, which should tell you quite a bit.

The outsole toe piece has been shaped with Finnish military ski bindings in mind, and the heel features a groove for traditional ski binding loops. The adjustable collar keeps out snow when there’s plenty of that white stuff.
