5.0 out of 5 stars
Forethought and Functionality, November 19, 2008
This review is from: Kamik Men's Nationplus Boot (Apparel)
First of all let me say another flawless delivery. I ordered these just two or three days ago and they're here. I checked this company out, its based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and yes, it would seem by all accounts that they really have been making boots for over one hundred years.
This is definitly a boot for activity, as indicated by the height of the sole and the boot's overall height. The lacing system seems very secure, and there is room for loosening or tightening depending on individual size and preference. The 200 Gram Thinsulate lining I was probably the most wary of, but after having worn the boot outside in subfreezing tempretures, I can say that it's probably the right choice, I didn't shovel any snow at sub-zero yet, but I can tell that its going to be much warmer than what I'm used to.
To sum it up, in finding out more about the company, I feel that this boot is definitly a manifest of so many functional ideas engineered into the design, a great choice for anyone who might deal with the white stuff this winter.

very nice boot!, October 28, 2009
This review is from: Kamik Men's Nationplus Boot (Apparel)
First of all, I've had a pair of Sorel snowboats for almost 20 years. As I was digging them out of the closet this year, they fell apart. Not bad for a boot though. I logged onto Amazon and starting doing research and I realized that Sorel's aren't what they used to be - they're made in China now, and owned by Columbia .. and made cheaper. Then I discovered, Kamik.. yes, another Canadian company.. they just sound rugged and warm. However, I discovered, EVERY boat/shoe is made in China.
I bought a pair of the Nationplus boots and they appeared to be well made. I took them on a very intense multi-day hunting trip in Colorado and they worked well. I hiked for miles without a problem. They kept my feet fairly warm but the idea that they'll protect your feet to -40°F is just silly. My toes were chilly sitting in the woods for a few hours and the temperature was around 20°F. That being said, who sits on a log for hours? With light activity occasionally they'll be fine in the cold. We also tromped through mud and water and they are indeed waterproof. So far, I think they're a really nice boot. Only 4 stars because of the deceptive -40°F rating.

Warm and Comfy, January 18, 2009
With an unexpected bout of "global warming" this winter, these boots have been the perfect antidote. Sizing was perfect. Traction is great. I have been able to keep my feet warm and dry. I have used them for hikes in the woods and walks on the streets, both to my great satisfaction. A final note: I can still catch my grandkids while shod with them, but the race is becoming a close run thing. No buyer's remorse here. I recommend these boots.
