WHAT OUR GEARHEAD(R) EXPERTS ARE SAYING:"I've been wearing the Burnsider Cozy Boot on cold, wet mornings, and they've become my default fall boot. The shearling lining keeps my feet warm without feeling bulky, and the waterproof suede holds up in puddles and light snow without any fuss. The metal hardware is a nice touch - they look good enough to wear somewhere other than a parking lot."Cold, damp fall mornings are when the Burnsider Cozy Boot earns its keep. Columbia built it to handle the kind of day that starts with frost on the windshield and ends with slush on the sidewalk - the waterproof suede upper sheds moisture before it reaches our socks, and the shearling lining holds warmth close from the first step out the door. The protective rand wraps the base of the boot where puddles and curb runoff tend to win against lesser footwear, and the cushioned midsole absorbs impact across pavement, packed gravel, and everything in between. Plush laces and metal hardware give the Burnsider Cozy a pulled-together look that works as well on a coffee run as it does on a wet trail walk. When the forecast is uncertain, and we only have time to grab one pair of boots, this is the one.
