Wearing Workman's "Cold-Weather Boots Quebec Short" to the snowy region. The author from Kanto checks their true capabilities in the real snow country; are they really warm, easy to walk in, and good value for money?

My friend from the north recommends the Workman "Cold Weather Boots Quebec Short"

Using the weekend off, I headed to the snowy country where a pure white landscape spreads out. Living in the Kanto region, I was planning to go in my usual sneakers right up to the point of departure... However, a friend from the north who was going with me strongly advised, "You absolutely need to wear snow boots!"

With sneakers, the coldness of the ground is transmitted directly, and if they get wet even once, it can lead to frozen, painful fingertips.

So, I hastily went to the nearby Workman, and what I found was the "Cold Weather Boots Quebec Short." Actually, these are the cold weather boots that my friend's mom regularly uses. Since they were highly praised for being easy to walk on snowy roads, I bought them without hesitation.

They use a high-performance heat-retaining material called LITHERMO, and upon holding them, the upper fabric feels thick and seems like it will definitely block the cold air. But are they really warm and easy to wear? Let's check their performance in the snow.

The soles are the warmest, aren't they!

I immediately put on the "Cold Weather Boots Quebec Short" and went outside. I wore a thick down jacket on top and had thermal pants on, so I was well-prepared. However... the soles are the warmest, aren't they!

Not only do I not feel the cold from the ground, but it's almost as if warmth is gradually rising from my toes. However, maybe that’s just at first, and it might start to get cold from here. As I enjoy a stroll for about an hour, I’ll see how that warmth changes.

Once I mastered walking in snowy regions, it became absolutely comfortable

The outsole is made of rubber with deep treads. According to a friend, when there’s fresh snow like in the above photo, you can walk easily. Since I heard that advice, I was walking as usual… whoops! I was almost about to fall.

I couldn't help but look up at the sky and think, "No, no, that's not what we talked about," but it turns out this is how you walk by landing on your heels. "Try to walk with a slightly forward-leaning posture, pressing down on the ground from directly above," I was then taught the knack of walking.

I see, I see, it's all about how to distribute my weight. Once I learned how to walk on snow, I was able to walk smoothly as if the dangers I used to face were a lie.

The opening is designed with Velcro, making it easy to put on and take off. It also guards against snow entering. It has cushioning, making long hours of strolling comfortable.

The upper features Workman’s unique durable water-repellent processing "SplaTECH." Even in a state covered in snow like this, there is no sign of water seeping through to the inside. Not only can I easily brush off the snow clinging to the surface, but it was also easy to wipe off any mud stains.

After walking for a full hour now, the inside of the cold-weather boots is so warm that it's almost a bit hot. It feels like a lie that I almost fell at the beginning when I didn’t know how to walk on snowy roads; in the latter part, I was able to walk through smoothly without tripping even once, and this is definitely a good cost-performance.

Thanks to the "Cold-Weather Boots Quebec Short," winter trips can be enjoyed more actively! Thinking about this, I began to consider trying this comfort on another snow country trip.
