What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I love the Ousel Mid because it feels like a hiking boot but works just as well as a winter boot. The insulation keeps my feet warm without overheating, and the side zipper makes it way easier to get on and off—perfect for everyday wear and winter hikes alike."From snow-dusted sidewalks to crisp winter trails, the Ousel Mid Insulated B-DRY Hiking Boot delivers the best of both worlds—cozy protection and confident performance. Crafted with LWG Gold-rated nubuck leather and Oboz’s B-DRY waterproof membrane, it keeps slush and snow at bay while allowing heat and moisture to escape. Inside, Freeze Guard 200g insulation and a fleece-lined cuff ensure lasting warmth without weighing you down. Practical details like a molded heel and toe cap boost durability, while the convenient side zipper lets you step in and out with ease. Underfoot, the O FIT Thermal insole features a heat-reflective Mylar bottom sheet to lock in warmth, and the rubber outsole provides grip across slick and snowy terrain. Whether you’re shoveling the driveway, snowshoeing in the backcountry, or strolling through town, the Ousel Mid makes winter feel effortless, warm, and adventure-ready.
