The Merrell Sugarloaf Mid Lace Cozy WP boots use seam-sealed waterproof construction and a Merrell Quantum Grip outsole, so a boot built for weekend errands still holds up on an actual icy sidewalk. A suede leather upper and protective toe cap add everyday durability, while a faux fur collar and lining keep the whole boot feeling as warm as it looks. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I walked across a sheet of ice on my driveway without a single slip, which isn't what I expected from a boot this soft-looking. It's the kind of grip I usually only trust from something built to look a lot more technical."
