Favorite winter boot - Lowa Oslo GTX Mid Winter Boot - Mens

Outdoor lab has a full review of these boots; which they named as a top pick. Google.

I live in Chicago and walk around a lot in the winter so I was looking for an boot that is insulated and walkable. These fit both requirements perfect. Boots are very low profile and light (1.2lbs) and look like a normal hiking boot yet insulated. Haven't had super cold weather yet but at freezing temps these were quite warm. Put these on to test out with the first snow making it a point to step in puddles ect on a 5 mile walk. Definitely water proof, warm, no boot induced fatigue, breathed well - no foot sweat...great boot. They fit true to size and look pretty stylish. Only downside I can think is u have to unlace out of the top eyelet to get these on and off....I imagine though as these break in this will become easier but really we're talking an extra 15 seconds. I don't have a wide foot but possibly these might be a bit tight for someone that does?
