When polar explorers trek to the North or the South Pole they subject their footwear to the most demanding conditions imaginable. Day after day they exert themselves to the point of exhaustion, pulling their equipment over the rough and unrelenting terrain. They lose as much as one pound of bodyweight each day in perspiration and burned calories. At night they sleep in small tents where the temperature can drop as low as -60oC (-76oF), freezing their boots. In the morning they have to put them on again and resume the trek. Cold feet and blisters, that might not be given a second thought in other situations, can be fatal in this environment. (more)
I enjoy winter camping in northern MN which while not polar can be dangerously cold for the unprepared. There is absolutely no price that can be placed on the value of warm feet after your body temperature drops while sleeping overnight, you can't start your next day with frozen feet. I will absolutely trust my Baffin Apex boots to get me through more than I'll ever face here, and in comfort as well. It's always 85 and sunny in my Apex boots, even if it's -20F otherwise. Phenomenal products!
