The Alpine keeps the wet out with a fully seam-sealed inner bootie and a waterproof membrane in the boot’s upper. The insulated polyester fleece lining keeps those piggies nice and warm. And a heat-reflective insole adds to the winter-friendly comfort. And, yes, you can remove the insole for an even more “barefoot” feeling. The Alpine has 200g of insulation so they should keep your feet warm no matter where your adventures take you.
