Ice Hiking Boots

There are certain situations where the average hiking boot just won't do. If you're planning on doing any glacier climbing or hiking in icy conditions, you need ice hiking boots. These boots are especially designed for this purpose. You will find boots for ice hiking from leading manufacturers such as Dunham, Merrell and Columbia. Then there are Arctic style boots from lesser known manufacturers as well. You may not find a good selection of these boots in stores, but you will definitely find them online.


One type of Artic boot by Merrell is the Expedition. This heavy duty hiking boot comes with a Poron performance carbon filter for extra stiff support, a close fitting upper made with Perwanger Nepal leather, full waterproofing, superior ankle support, a Microguard Mesh Outlast layer to keep feet dry and much more. The Vibram Expedition sole features deep 8mm lugs for the highest level of traction available. This boot accommodates the majority of hiking crampons. It comes in fashionable blue and black, and is durable yet comfortable. It can be yours for around $250, which is average for a boot of this type.

Another type of Arctic boot that you may want to consider is the Columbia Titanium Ice Field winter boot. This boot features advanced engineering with innovative materials. You get excellent protection from the elements which is perfect for hikers and even snowmobilers. The Dri-Lex fabric liner combines a Hydrofil nylon fiber backing with soft polyester which is resistant to abrasions. Other features include rustproof metal hooks, Vibram rubber compound and high fashion styling. When you try these boots you will understand why Columbia is a leader in the industry.

When shopping for ice hiking boots online the downside is that you cannot try them on first. You may find yourself with a pair of boots that are uncomfortable or just aren't the right size. However many online sellers will let you return the boots if they don't fit. Another thing you should watch out for when shopping online are shipping charges. Although shipping on heavy items can be expensive, some stores offer free shipping if customers buy a certain amount of merchandise. There are usually different shipping choices from which to choose that range from affordable to expensive.
